Dating Etiquette

Okay, so I really like this boy, and I think he likes me back, but what do I do if he asks me on a date??????????? I'm 14, and I've never had a boyfriend before. My parents were raised in a culture with arranged marriages, so they really aren't much help, and my friends have also never had a boyfriend before. So please, help?

Oh, yeah, and I forgot, what's proper dating etiquette?

I had a girlfriend from an arranged marriage culture background, I am not sure what she had to go through trying to break that news to her family but when I asked, she always said forget about it. And proper etiquette depends on the person I am never sure it seems to change with each person I go out with....

Okay, thanks.

I know I wasn't very helpful, sorry

That's okay.

There's no real etiquette in dating anymore. The guy does not have to make the first move any more, although this is thought to be standard. I for one have never asked out a girl because I'm a coward, but the girl I'm with now made the first move and we are very happy with how it went down. The first relationship I had was when I was 14, and it lasted til I was 17 almost 18. So really age has nothing to do with it but it's a matter of how sure you both are. If you are sure you would like to try to date this person then Go ahead and ask them out. I guarantee that they will almost always say yes.

While I agree with that I must say I havne't really asked a girl out, it was sortof a mutual thought and just came together

-muttering under breathe about what a stupid forum-... but, then what else would I expect from a group made of teens? Nuclear physics? Sorry, am I talking to myself?

Meanie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry, this sort of thing is just.... uninteresting for me... didn't mean to offend anyone....I could tell you how to confirm he likes you by reading his body language if you like?

 I am not a teen but I want you to know this is a very good topic to bring up in a forum.  I am sure there are many teens that would like to know this answer and has the same concern as you do.  They may be too shy to write it publicly in this forum.  Good for you and don't feel bad at all. 

Dating etiquette.

First of all girl, I know this might sound old fashioned.

But wait for him.

^_^ Yep, wait for him to ask you out.

Yes, it is a modern world. But girl, if u just want a date for the sake of having a date, I think you're getting it on the wrong end.

The purpose of why we date is because we are to get to know or find the perfect/ right mate for us.

Agree, or disagree? ^_^

Now, why wait for him to ask you out?

That is because if you are after a relationship that would last long and has a purpose in it, and not just a relationship but a commitment, then you should wait for the man/ guy who is willing to uplift the value of yourself.

There's a saying here:

Easy to get, easy to forget.

^_^

So dear, maybe you might be saying, commitment is far away. I'm young to think about that. I'm just out to have some fun, and explore.

I guess, many are not getting the point of it all.

Ask, what do you really want?

^_^

A LIKE?

OR

A LOVE?

You see, before you go to a date, you should first consider your goals and where you are up to.

Because many lead a chase, not knowing what they are chasing.

^_^

God bless you!

I would really love to hear from you girl. Feel free to contact me anytime and I will try my best to answer you.

sarah07, although your advice about waiting for him to make the first move might be your belief, I- in the dealings with my sister- have found that it might not be a good idea to wait for the guy, because if you wait and wait and wait, he may never come; but if you truly like the guy, then you might want to make the first move

no? ok.

 ^_^

That I think depends on the level of maturity of a person to discern what he/ she must do.

If you think it is the right thing to do, and if it is the will of God, then go ahed and ask him.

But I still say, love is not something you look for. It comes at the right time, whether expected or unexpected.

^_^

Sorry, but I'm a die-hard romantic person.

And from my own experience, I could say, waiting is good.Specially when we are waiting with open eyes and heart.

^_^

God bless us all.

Okay, thank you everyone.

Agree. God Bless You!!

Okay.
