I’m 18 and haven’t had a decent boyfriend in a long time. I want so badly to be in love and have a good guy. But I’m stuck in an area with good-for-nothing jerks. I know the "one" will find me one day but I’m so tired of waiting. I’m a little lonely and slightly desperate. I know i sound a little pathetic, but I want a guy bad. I was wondering if it would be bad if i tried online dating at 18yrs old?
Very few to little Christians actually practice dating with chaperones
Dating with chaperones has nothing to do with age. Whether if you’re a minor or an adult, every Christian couple who has a love for God should be dating with chaperones.
We all know how easily we can be tempted to commit impure acts of lust when we’re alone with our boyfriend or girlfriend.
It is true that there are many Christian couples who are doing things that they shouldn’t be doing, which is why the practice of chaperones needs to be brought back into Christian society.
Both my girl friend and I are never alone together. I’m 29 and she’s 26 and always date with a chaperone, because we know it’s the right Godly thing to do.
Okay. Here’s the breakdown.
I’m 15, in grade 9.
My boyfriend was my best friend before we started dating.
He’s an amazing guy. He’s sweet, smart, funny, basically EVERYTHING I wanted in a guy.
Except there’s a problem.
He’s not a Christian.
I was raised in a Christian environment, and my parents expect me to marry a Christian guy in the future.
Yeah, yeah, I’m 15, I shouldn’t be worrying about getting married, I know, but I’m afraid to fall in love with this guy.
Another thing is, that two of my closest friends, my boyfriend’s best friend, and one of my best friends dated, but she broke up with him because he wasn’t Christian. They still REALLY like each other, but she can’t date him simply because he is not Christian.
I talked to my boyfriend about this and he said that he would "fight for me" if I broke up with him because he wasn’t Christian.
Another thing is, my boyfriends’ older sister, who is like, 10 years older than him, converted into Christianity recently over Easter, and he told me his sister read him Bible passages and such. So he’s exposed to Christianity, and he respects my beliefs.
But I don’t know if I should continue dating him or not, he told me that he’s THINKING of converting, and I’m praying for him. But I REALLY don’t know. It hasn’t even been that long since we started dating. Only two weeks. -.-
