What Age Should You Start Dating | Christian Dating Advice For Teenagers
I was asked earlier this week what my thoughts were on teen dating. What is a good age for teens to start dating? Or what are some important things to consider when it comes to christian dating as a teenager. So in this video I share a few practical things from my experience with dating as a young person.
So true. Before you can think about "us", you have to know "you", but to know "you", you HAVE TO know Him. Excellent way to do the actual work of God.
Amen! So true, I was talking to a friend this morning about this very exact concept!
ThatChristianVlogger I'm 55, 56 on the 20th and i haven't been lucky enough.
Not related to your comment, but OH MY GOODNESS I literally NEVER see anyone who shares my middle name of Ricci (like Ricky, not Richie) & it's your FIRST name! Hiiiiiiiiii! :D :D :D
not another god post
I already know me
Without ever dating I have a pretty good idea on this topic. I am 17 and there is this girl I've liked for almost 2 years now. Her and I talk and are really good friends, but for this whole time I have worried about it constantly, and during this past summer it really got to me and I was super depressed for awhile. I ended up talking to one of my friends about it and through a lot of conversations I eventually realized that I just needed to stop liking them for lack of a better word. I'm not really sure how to explain it. I had to decide to just let it go, and as soon as I did that day I just felt so peaceful and more happy than I had been in a long time.I still talk with her every day and I'd say we are even better friends now, but I just don't think about liking her anymore. When you date, you give up a lot of freedom that you otherwise have. I can do so many things that my friend can't because I'm single. Also you have to deal with so much else in high school that putting the extra stress on can make it unbearable sometimes. So my answer to this question is really to just wait. There is so much more of a life ahead of you, and you need to focus on you before you can focus on someone else. And before you can focus on you, you need to focus on God. I am really glad I was able to just say no, and that one word has changed the last month of my life so much. I also said how happy I always was when I was around this girl, and my friend told me something which is probably one of the most important and most valuable words I've heard in my life. "Don't put your happiness in a person." That is so true. People will fade away, and the love and happiness of people is not perfect and is corrupted. But putting my happiness on God will never fail.
Very true.
God bless you ❤️
You seem to have some good friends.
Yes yes yes. I needed this comment
Bruh I’ve been getting close with this girl lately and she’s a really good Christian. I’ve also recently became a lot closer with God aswelll. I’ve known her for forever but we just recently started to be good friends. I don’t like her but you know being around a girl your bound to have thoughts of being with them. No sinful thought have come up. Just being with her. I’ve prayed against the butterflies I get sometimes. And I believe you don’t have to like somebody if you don’t want to. But I’ve been struggling with it. My older brother said he thinks he’s not gonna be talking to girls period. And he thinks I’m talking to her too much. And you being in the same situation is really peaceful to me. I know I have to wait. But hearing it from someone with the same experience is so good. Plus the fact that y’all are STILL good friends, and though being cautious around girls is necessary, you don’t have to just cut them off if their Christian. Thank you
Thanks so much for this : )
I’m 15 and I hope to find a guy who I can date then marry. Sometimes I worry that I’ll never find anyone, but then I try to set my focus back on God. And I pray that one day I’ll find someone. 💕
same!
O my gosh literally me!
Me too!
Get your dad to find you a suitable man
We’re all going through that and I’m 18 and it’s a daily struggle to keep myself out from the wildness and lust everywhere. I honestly started praying about dating someone I’ll marry cause it’s so hard to find someone who’s intentional about things like that and is also a Christian.
Yea i changed a lot since I was 17 now I'm 24 and I think to myself what was I thinking Haha I really need to get closer to God
lol, I feel the same way! Crazy how we felt at that age that we had all the answers!
You will then have to accept him as your God and personal savior and start to build a relationship with him.And it shall be well
I don't think its about age its about spiritual maturity... I've met some 30 year olds who weren't ready for a relationship and some 14 year olds who were. its not about age its about your relationship with God. He wants us to have a relationship with another person so we can have a physically intimate (once we are married) where with God we're spiritually intimate.
this!
14 year old? Thats so incredible, it sounds (sorry) like a lie. It's quite possible I think, in very rare cases, but generally 14 year old teens are just having lust and status as their base of dating.
14 years old is a child
Man of the north is a teen
Chelsea Fae I wish I was. I would correct all the mistakes I have done.
Lol, was that ment to be an insult?
I think that before dating, a person should consider their walk with God (just as you mentioned) and they really should pray about it and seek God's guidance before doing anything.
100%
I think it is really important to know who you are in Christ before you get to know someone else in the aspect of dating and compatibility, and to have the maturity to support a godly relationship. Yet this maturity could come at any age for some people. My grandparents started dating when they were 14, my parents when they were 16, and both have lead beautiful, godly, and fulfilling marriages. So I know first hand that teen Christian dating can work. The topic is all very subjective but I think it does come down to maturity. Most people only find that maturity when they're older and have graduated high school, while others find it at a much younger age. It all depends on the person, their identity in Christ and what God's plan is for them.
Very true.
God bless sis💫
I agree in some degree. My parents met at 16, married at 21 and have been together for 20 years :)
I do agree with you though. You do change as you grow so it all depends on when God has things planned :)
That's AWESOME!!!!
Thanks for replying! I really enjoy watching your videos. So helpful!
I do my best! :) Thanks so much for commenting!!!
No problem!! Have been binge watching lots of your videos :)
Haha how cool! Any suggestions?
Thanks for this video! As a mom of four, I’m looking for some questions and answers to have ready in my pocket when the time comes. Instead of focusing on the age but the readiness of the person before dating is a great angle to look at dating as a Christian. It also helped me to see that more than worrying about the mistakes I don’t want my kids to make, I need to focus on helping them find places to nourish their relationship with God as well as praying for that. Thanks!
Thank you so much for the video!! Finally there is a modern, mature, and wise Christian that gives advice to teens like me
xD
This is absolutely true! As a 20 year old, I get so caught up in finding "the one" especially at church. Everyone around me is in some kind of relationship even some younger than me and I guess the pressure is high. But I've been praying about it because I know well that I'm not near ready and that it's just my surroundings that affect me. I know I have to seek Jesus first and make him the center if everything. He is more than enough and I definitely need to feel, believe and live that. Thank you so much for your insight and perspective
Girl this is so true omg
i would like to see videos on long term christian relationships, how much to text/ call, when to let go, how to talk about boundaries, how to spend time so that this long term relationship may results in a succesfull marriage.
Im 15 and while having a boyfriend sounds so good, the ultimate goal is marriage and I don't think I'm ready for a commitment that big yet. I haven't avoided dating but I'm not actively looking atm
As a teen, this is a great perspective that I can apply to my life. Thanks!
Awesome! Very glad to hear it!
My Brother , My heart is broken ! 😭
I can't take it 😥 . I gave my life to Jesus and followed by it I got into a girl , now I'm heart broken to say that she left me 😭😭
"To become the person the person you are looking for is looking for."---Andy Stanley
absolutely! Andy is on point!
I totally agree with you Justin. And those 3 questions you raised are really necessary. You can imagine how hard question number 2 can be even for adults. I think Getting answers to these questions are really necessary in order to get a direction in life generally. Love this! 👍
Glad it was helpful Olivia! :) Thanks for commenting!
So God wants us to first have a relationship with Him thank you so much
I know this video is old but I really thank you for this. I almost got myself into something I don't need to be in before I have my relationship with God worked out first. As a 16-year-old, I frequently wonder about who God will set into my life as my partner but now I realize I need to work on myself first. Once again, thank you for this.
Hey Zach,
glad to hear from you and I'm glad to hear that you're making a better decision as a result from this video! stay strong brother! It's worth it!
Thank You For The Knowledge..Keep It Up ..God Bless!!🙏💖💯
I really relate to what you said about evaluating who you like in high school. That's what I did, and still do. The guy I liked, well I guess you could say we're pretty compatible. Friends would even say we're a perfect match. However, I never wanted things to go further than friends because he wasn't Christian, well, no... I guess you could say he was taking baby steps in his faith. Even though we're out of high school, I still pray for him. Sorry for the rant😂 By the way, your shirt is so cool!
I think you made a very wise decision! A "perfect" match without Jesus is quite imperfect of a match indeed! Thanks! I'm almost done with my website and hoping to offer them to you all soon!
wow... The video is perfect... to God be the glory*** no one can love enough bt the person compromising to love God, cannot love the other one...(bf or gf)
Hey Justin! I would say 20 is a good age! I agree with what you have said! Nice shirt! Please pray for me to be happily single and also single and satisfied in Christ!
Toya Maxi GO girl! I'm single and proud. We can do this sister. :0) Lord give this generation strength as we go against the flow of dating.
Thanks sis, God bless!
Toya Maxi God will give you the correct person in the correct time. God bless u.
That is the struggle! You're not alone in that too, by the way. I know it's a regular struggle to surrender your own desires, but God's timing is best!
Toya Maxi let me guess you're 20
Thank so much for clearing me🙏🙏🙏 Higher Grace sir
Don't date till you are ready to survive and fend financial for yourself. Ive had many friends who went to Christian colleges got married but after they entered the workforce for a couple years ended up in a divorce.
Now on the opposite side of that perceptive I also believe that God can take any two people and make that marriage work if they both are committed to God. The road won't be easy. But it can work. Relationships take work and commitment. When you personally not stable or grounded in your belief, emotions and relationships with others around you. (which usually happens after the age of 23 or 24.) don't really need to date.
great video! very relevant to my life right now
Glad to hear it! Hopefully it gives you good food for thought
May the good Lord continually bless your ministry.🙏🏾
very lovely video bro..Thq for best advices....The questions were quite intresting
thank you so much for advising teenagers like us
I love your videos, such grate advice ! May God keep blessing you!
Wow, I love your approach to this topic, will definitely add this to my modus operandi.
I often ask teenage people around me this 3 question.
1. "What's the essence of a relationship"
2. "Who are you"
3. "What is your purpose" - why did God create and send you to the world.
Thanks for this, I have a good friend and I think I started liking him though I know my relationship with God is good I have no idea about my calling and career and I think u are right. U just relieved me from such a big dilemma❤
Thank you for this great insight, this video was very helpful. Your videos are brilliant, really glad I came across this channel, God bless!
Well, that's really kind of you! Thanks so much! Hoping the other videos are just as helpful :)
sooo good!! 👍
This helped so much thanks ❤
Well said brother
I actually relate to this,I am currently dating my first gf and I do feel at times that I was focusing more on us than what formed me.I love my girlfriend but also I want to explore the Lord as well and connect with Him, she's not any trouble 😄😁but I value this advice very much and I'm glad I was here to watch this.Thanks for this advice and God bless you
This video was very helpful to me. I would always see my other friends get into relationships and I always think why am I not with anyone. There have been times I could've gone into a relationship with someone but for some reason I couldn't bring myself to do it and I thought something was just wrong. But in actuality I am still finding myself and purpose and am not ready for the responsibility of a relationship
this video is very helpfull :)) I have this question in my mind every day and I didn't have a specific answer. But thank you for opening my eyes :)) 100% better to have a relationship first with God and than with someone else :))
Amen! Glad to help bring a little bit of clarity towards the questioN!
i just came across your channel and have watch some of your videos.
that are really inspiring
thanks
:D
These days I've thinking about getting a girlfriend. This video helped me a lot to think and focus on what is really important. I have things to do like in my church and school. Maybe this pressure of being a teen and don't having a girlfriend lead me where I shouldn't be. God bless you all. First seek his kingdom.
When I was a teen, a pastor told me that you shouldn't start dating until you're ready to get married within two years. I thought that was pretty sound advice, although at the time I took it to mean that I could start dating around 16 or 17. I'm 25 now, and I've only started dating two months ago. I can honestly say that even at 22 or 23, I wasn't ready, I still had too much to learn.
Actually sounds fair. But does not rule out having relationships at 14 as you'll be 16 in two years... and biologically late teens and early 20's are when we are best suited to reproducing (and therefore if you are a Christian, which I am no longer, this is when God has "designed" us to reproduce?)
As a sophomore in college Walking with the lord I defiantly agree with what you were saying
Very cool! So what is your primary focus at this stage of your life?
My focus is totally on the Lord and focusing on my growth and sharing my faith with others
Amen! Noble goals!
This video helped me quite a bit as a high schooler! Also can you tell me what the music is in this video?
Whoa, more dating tips! How many videos do you have on the subject? My $0.02: 1) Seems like the criteria you established to be ready for dating is more akin to being ready for marriage. 2) I've been married for 18 years and neither I nor my wife are the same people we were when we got married, sanctification will do that too you. Sooo...expect to grow. Its good your helping people who are thinking relationships, the world needs answers. Let's make sure we give them, in grace and truth. Keep it up!
There's a whole playlist! I don't know if I agree with #1- While understanding the purpose of dating, one should keep those factors in mind imo
Thanks for commenting!!!
Therein lies the question...what IS the purpose of dating? And is it done out of faith in order to glorify God? Or is it done to gratifly the desires of the flesh? Besides motives, it would be wise to establish the practice first. I hope THAT video is coming soon...
Good questions! These videos were produced under the premise that dating is best served as a tool for finding a potential helpmeet. Hence my advice on how to go about doing it :)
Hey man great video bro 👍
I dont know if you see this
But i also loved your background music , what is the beat name man 💪
some people think dating is just for having fun , well it's not fun when the relationship is over and feelings are hurt. Dating is the path to find your future partner . if that becomes only a game , your will get into many troubles .
I completely agree, I have been looking at numerous videos concerning dating and courting and one simple way to identify if you are ready includes do you know the three M's. Do you know your "Master, your Mission and then your Mate?" I am 20 and again Completely Agree with what was stated, I have changed dramatically in maturity (though I was already mature before) and in understanding. As women we are a help-mate to our spouse, in order to accomplish that our spouse needs to know what God is calling him to accomplish and we as women need to have a general understanding of what God is calling us to do as these two calling will intertwine and ultimately enhance the Kingdom.
Love the 3 M's! Great way to summarize it!
Hey Justin! Not sure how I stumbled upon your videos but they've been a blessing for sure. :) Also, unrelated but I think we actually have quite a bit of mutual friends.....that sounds creepy but it's not meant to lol. Anyways, to get to the topic at hand, I myself am 24, about to finish college, have always been a Christian & gone to church & the whole 9 yards (though that by NO means defines your relationship with God, said relationship is not defined by a set of rituals), but only now do I feel God has brought me to a point where it's reasonable to start dating, when God opens the doors with the right person. I did have one relationship in undergrad with another Christian, but he was not of the same faith as me, & I did the whole over-justification-to-myself thing that so many of us do, because we want it to be the right relationship & we don't want to mess up & go through that hurt. Not my brightest decision, but--oh, did I mention I was 19/20? Yeah, college plus that relationship especially did a LOTTTT to mature me (though I'm still a work in progress! see Phil. 1:6) & to help me realize GOD MUST BE FIRST. It doesn't matter if you're both well-meaning, praying, Bible-believing Christians; if God isn't #1 in your life & consequently in your relationships, FORGET IT. He WILL lead you to where you need to be, & who you need to team up with--not just in personality compatibility, but also for the sake of ministry & of nudging each other closer to Christ as Christ leads you. But you (we) must have God first & trust Him with our lives. After all, if He loves us AND knows us more than anyone else possibly could, & He does, why WOULDN'T we trust Him to lead us to the best decision? ...boy, for a single person, I sure got a lot to say lol. Well I'm done for now xD GB!
I didn't have a girlfriend until I was 16. She was more aggressive than I was. I learned a lot from her; she helped me break out of my shell. We met at the right time. I matured which helped me later when I came to Christ.
We can definitely learn from people in any stage of life!
I believe that it greatly depends on the person. Some should wait longer, some less. The Bible simply says that one should be past the bloom of youth. It doesn't list a specific age. I think that if a young person wanted to start dating they should really examine themselves as well as consult their parents. If they are spiritually and mentally developed, it's probably okay to go ahead. It's ultimately a personal decision.
My mother says I can date at any age, as long as we thoroughly talk about it first and my parents will debate whether or not if he's the right one for me
Can you talk about flirting and flirting over social media? Thank you for this video
That was very informative and very wise suggestions. I will have to have my daughter subscribe to you also. Thank u n God bless u
Haha, thanks! I hope your daughter enjoys the channel too!
you have to know first your purpose and that is to honor and love God then He'll do the rest .. :)
This was like my psychology course: no answers, just questions and relativism.
What advice would you give to marriage if one continues to mature, and other emotionally remains young? I've seen many marriages that end up unbalanced, that usually ends up divorced.
Waiting until 21 before getting serious, or even dating - that is probably more true for collage students. Met plenty of blue-color workers who got married right out of high school, and had a good marriage. Perhaps a better milestone - are you going through major INTULECTUAL changes? if so, better to put off relationships until you settle into the "new" you.
You're awesome 👍👍😁 I do want to get married by the time I am 21, but I agree completely w/ the ?s that one should ask b4 diving into dating. Wonderful video & stories. To anyone reading this: God loves you & gives you purpose + I love you #stayblessed #Godgotu 😘😘😜🤗✌
What should you do when the parents of the person you are dating don't like you and are very discouraging and only rebuke your girlfriend/boyfriend while also not demonstrating good christian ideals?
very useful! thanks. Could you please do a video on friendships between opposite sex? Can a trully guy-girl friendship exist without the question of dating appearing? ( being both single Christians, specially) What to do if you are confused about your feelings and intentons with a friend of the opposite sex, how to figure them out, and know What God wants from your relationship
I am 13 and I write to my future husband everyday, I have talked to God about is it okay to date someone at my age? I have a strong relationship with God and I try to think about God in everything I do...I know I’m very young, but I have all my Faith in him...I have gave up my life to him and I know this may seem cheesy I’m just very mature for my age....Anyways back to the point...I love God and I know what I want for in a guy because I look at guys in my school and I see what I don’t like and what I do....I had one of my best friends in my class I just didn’t know it yet,and so we got seats by each other and we already knew who each other were and we have talked a couple of times but now it was different I started realizing how much Faith and Love he has in God...I was starting to like him and I knew it was gonna be a big thing because I had never felt like how I do with him...Every night I prayed to God about I and I asked him is it okay to date him if I see this going somewhere? I never got an exact answer on how I wanted so went to the Bible I looked at some verses that helped me about what I was going to say if the guy ever asked me out and how to handle it...I then went to my dad on what to do..he said it’s okay..your gonna seem nervous at first because you have need had this happen to you,and you are finally going into how everything works and different things like that then after that I went to a friend who is close to my age and has gotten a boyfriend and I asked her and she said it’s okay if you truly like him do it! Then I went to my mom my mom asked me three questions right away saying Christian,Kind,smart? I said yes yes and yes 😂 I was nervous because I am not the type of person who likes to waste time and I just don’t want to hurt him or me or just end things badly if it ever happened...he asked me out and he said yes... I am talking to God and I know it’s what he’s wanting right now due to our talks...it may not be in the future but it how you learn..I just feel like am I going to be frowned upon because of that reason
As long as you put god first and let him guide you you should be fine.
money is what scares me most about relationships, im a senior in highschool and a welder by trade, i basicly get paid a few bucks off minimum wage, and money is always what women seem to want, just last week on a mission trip in a van , 4 girls in the back were talking about how they are not going to mess around with average christian guys, they said they r going to marry someone rich so they can buy expensive clothes, i was a little frustrated, christian girls who want only rich guys not average Godly men like me, this is probably why i wont get married, women want money it seems
Benjamin Masters , you know...4 girls should not define your perspective about other women! and by the way you still got time to make money.
Benjamin Masters keep praying and waiting on Him because what God can gives always good no matter how you think the society are ( girls wants money), I advice you to focus more on school in on relationship with God, then He will give you the right person at the right time
God bless
Hey, those girls are the ones that need to evaluate their lives. Money isn't everything. If you love your job and that's what you know you're supposed to do with your life, then KEEP DOING THAT!! And don't worry. Not every girl wants to be rich. No person should, we should be seeking Jesus first. My friend, there's someone out there who's great for you, who will be SO happy with you no matter how much money you make! God bless!
Thank you 😊
"No man should go on his life without his woman, and no woman should go on her life without her man" the message God told me
I just feel lonely please pray for me😐
The thing is in this modern society, it seems to be a normal thing to date at a very young age. I'm 14 and already a lot of my friends are in a relationship. I have decided that I'm not ready for a relationship, but that will probably seem very weird for the people around me. How do I deal with this?
get used to being somewhat different. Living as a Christian makes you set a part in many ways. You are set apart and called for a purpose!
If they start dating at 14 and over a few relationships they'll be well-equipped to make a decision on choosing a long term partner by their late teens / early 20's. Job done!
My question: What should you do if a non believer wants to be with you? i read about it that you should not yolk urself with them but if they marry you that they will be made holy because you are holy
Is there such things as age Gap that's to Big to be considered a Christian relationship?
What a lesson.
Hi man, I am from Ecuador, I like your videos, I would like to know: How to know who is the right person to me?
The real question isnt what age but how mature the mind and spirit should be
I wish to start a channel like you..A christian channel. All I have is a nikon coolpix l340 camera and a htc mobile and also a tripod. Can you provide some advice or any video of yours where I can learn from you?
I'm working on a series that will deal with all of that stuff! Stay tuned :)
Thank You so much!
Jerin Shaji Sure thing!
I’m turning 14 soon and I want to start dating. My cousins are younger than me and are allowed to date bc they are boys but my mom won’t let me even try. So for now I want to just wait until I’m 16-17 bc that’s when I’ll be able to drive.
Hi this video came out a while ago but I keep coming back to it. And I honestly don't know how to let god lead my life and me change for him and him alone and not a boy that will probably not last please help me!!!
I have a few principles. I see a Biblical man as one who is masculine. That means he feels responsibility to lead, provide for, and protect women.
He must have a strong, personal relationship with Christ. He must have leadership skills, the ability to adequately protect a woman, and the ability to adequately provide for a woman. He must also feel feel responsible to do these things.
Prior to seeking a relationship with the opposite sex, his focus should be on maturing as a man and developing his own walk with Christ. But, he should not pursue such relationships before he is ready.
Though God can still work and make you ready if you start too soon, it's a far more unnecessarily difficult process.
I like this video :)
Aww thanks! I like you :)
Answer starts at 5:00!
Thanks!
Thank you!
I agree to an extent.because my.partner and I.both motivate each other to get closer to god and yes we still make.mistakes.but.we learn. From it and it brings us closer to.each other and God.as well
Is it really possible to be in a relationship, but not have sex if you are a guy?
If so, how do you prevent yourself from having sex if you dating?
what if your a sophomore in high school and really like a girl that you have known for quite some time now. I feel like I have a very strong relationship with christ, but I also want to learn what the qualities of a future spouse would be? I also meet this person at a retreat that our church does designed for adults, but they pick like 10 very dedicated high school volunteers that are all on very similar paths.
So, what if I am 16 and the person I like is 4 yrs older? I know I obviously have to wait AT LEAST 2 yrs to date. But, what should I do in the time being. I have a strong relationship with God, and I would never let a guy or relationship keep me from pursuing Him. But what should my friendship look like with the guy? Is it ok give any impression that I like him? Would becoming close friends speed things up too much? What should I look for in him as I get to know him better? Sorry that is a lot of questions any advice is appreciated 🙂😄
Thank you
My granddaughter just got married at 23 and her parents decided but she was in college them and they told her no you cannot get married until you are at after Kali so her and her boyfriend got engaged in 2016 they just got married last January in 2018 so they've been engaged for a really really long time they're very compatible but she's even going for a very long time so which is good and they had to wait no kissing no hugging no nothing they had the day out of Christian parents around them all the time
Thank you sir you helped a lot but how can l just end the relationships
What if you start dating your life long best friend
Question! I totally see your point, Justin, that we need to be rooted in Christ first before pursuing a relationship. But if I'm content in Christ, why would I want to date? just a thought.
If you're truly content in Christ? Because Christ puts that desire in your heart!
Awesome
Hello justin! I am 17 years old and i have been in a relationship for two years now. We both believe in God and I put God before everythink, my boyfriend isn't as important as God..
Our relationship is very strong and we make plans about future and marriage. What do you think? Am I doing the right thing? Please help me, I am very confused about my age , dating and such things.
God Bless You, Emily and all of your viewers in King Jesus' Name! You are Awesome! This is a super helpful video! I am sharing this to my personal FB! Love you and your Emily in Christ My Brother 💖✨💪👑✨💕
What should I do if the pressure is much from guys am just 2oyrs and I have zeroed my mind in dating anyway
True!...But according to some..They Find it silly when two teenagers date just coz they’re too young...however,the Big Question is-What Does God Say About Dating?Like is it okay to start when u’re a Teenager or Does he say that we should wait??....btw..i really found some of your advice constructive..however,i’m still in a bit of doubt
Where do you get those shirts?
I want to know about what you think of listening secular music as a christian, or a video about music in Christian life, that will help me a lot cause is a very controversial topic in my country.
Nicole Reyes in what country do you live ?

Hmmm good question! I'll try to do a video on this at some point in time. Bottom line for me is that secular vs christian music isn't really the point. I think morals and values are the main issue. If it's a "secular" song, but promotes healthy values in line with the teachings of Scripture, I'm ok with it!
I think if you have anything, any recurring sin in your life that doesn't just put a rift between you and God but between you and people, you need to spend a good amount of time working on your spiritual life, and then God will send someone YOUR way. Don't look for something. dig your well before you're thirsty (pun intended), and then you'll have a foundation for the future.
I just started dating someone, after watching this video I'm afraid I've made a mistake.
I'm only 16, and honestly, I'm not sure we're ready for anything serious. Is there any way we can have a more relaxed kind of dating? For example, stay group dating? I feel like dating may help us, even if it doesn't work out, to grow spiritually...
What do you think would be a good idea for this kind of situation?
Hmmm good question. I would respond by asking you what the purpose of dating is to you? Is it to find a potential spouse? Is it just to have fun? And if it's just to have fun, do you really need to be boyfriend and girlfriend in order for that to happen? Are you hoping to date someone to have an increase of physicality in your life? And if so, why? If your goal is to grow spiritually, do you think you'll do that better by having someone in the picture or is it more likely that it will be a distraction? It'll be hard to answer these questions honestly, but they're important to ask. If I could go back and be 16 again, I would advise myself against it. So many more things to be growing in and working on in my opinion.
Your thoughts? What connects and what doesn't?
hey! im kinda late but i like this dude but i dont want to date him. how do i still be friends with him without leading him on or myself?
I’m 19 and haven’t dated anyone before. My parents got married at 18 and still together around 20 years later.
Sounds like it’s about time for you to tie the knot.
@@fearandloathing9976 i dont know. I don't feel ready for a relationship. I'm still in college and not ready to think about future marriage yet.
I'm 16 and dating 18 y.o boy we are both Christian, he help me closer to God but...recently my mom found me and my mom told me "don't let your dad knows, it's too shameless at such a young age" i'm crying how my mom scold me, make my one heart into pieces
What? 16 as a young age for dating? :D
Hello! Thanks for the video. I was wondering if there was some way I could send you a message other than the comment section here on TH-cam, because I'd like to ask you a controversial question that I don't feel comfortable saying here. I have searched through all your videos and I haven't found any on this particular topic / question I want to ask you. like on snapchat or Instagram or Skype or something? Thanks .
Feel free to reach out to me on IG or FB at any time :)
ThatChristianVlogger - thanks, i will definitely do that soon :)
Isnt it that you cant date until youre 16, but as a group, and at the age of 18 you can be a couple?
