“Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.” - KAHLIL GIBRAN
Hanging out with friends (dating) is typical of teenagers. Everyone is aware of the shakiness that is part of a teen’s life caused by strong hormonal urges. This instability in the life of a teenager, trying to make sense of all the changes taking place in his/her life, does not make it an ideal period to date, though the urges are very strong in teenagers!
There is a growing attraction in teens towards the opposite sex. We are attracted to a person because of the pleasure he or she gives or for other practical purposes. If you are capable of respecting the boundaries of friendship, it is good to be friends with those of the opposite sex.
Make dating fruitful and life-oriented
As teens grow older and more mature, and achieve their basic goals like completion of education, making a career, etc., dating can be fruitful. In dating, the success mantra is how capable you are to set limits for yourself. True love waits and is capable of self-giving.
The purpose of dating is:
- To get to know the other person better.
- To establish healthy relationships.
- To make wise choices.
- To nurture companionship.
The need to get to know the other, to get to know his/her family and gain knowledge, and to check necessary compatibility is the basic aim of dating. Through dating, some are able to find a suitable partner for marriage.
