How Old Should I Be Before I Start Dating?

One of the more common questions that we get from Christian teen girls is, “how old should I be before I start dating?” Maybe you’ve asked this question yourself.

The two of us asked this exact question when we hit the teen years as well. With the casual dating scene happening all around us, we questioned whether or not we should jump in.

Some of our friends had starting dating, and guys began asking us out. We were interested in guys, but weren’t sure if having a boyfriend was a wise decision at our age.

In this Vlog, we’re going to share with you exactly what we did as teens and why.

Instead of following the popular route of casual dating, we were challenged to shoot for something more intentional. It all started when we were confronted with the question, “what is the purpose of a romantic relationship?”

Watch today’s Vlog and join the discussion as we unpack this relevant topic.
