What is Dating?

It is a social engagement between two persons that often has a romantic character. The dictionary describes it so differently than what others might think of it as a chance to get to know a person better. Do different cultures have different perspectives on dating? Yes, it does since it includes teens that are young and immature. Parents tend to worry about them when they go out. But why would parents need to worry when they know where their child has gone? They worry because it always makes it hard for them to not worry. It is in our parent’s nature to worry when we go out. Should parents allow their teen to date? No, if the parent(s) think that the child needs to be more responsible and mature then it's OK for them to say no to he/she.

Every culture has different ways of dating. Even though if a teen is mature enough to date say like 18 years or older, some parents might think that dating is not proper even though they are old enough to date. In my opinion I feel that Dating is OK as long as you don't go out without telling anyone, where you are going for your date or you have responsibilities.

Hi Jeet,
generally girls or boys confused about datings...there is a fear of being cheated there on date..so they refuse it..but date is nothing but its a way to spend some time onlyand only to know each othere well..
date was started only to be familiar with each other..there you know, what kind of man is ur partener, whats his taste,what he/she like or dislikes etc,whats his/her future planning and so on.....

according to me, if you can trust him, then you should accept his proposal for dating..but be assure that you both go to public places only,refuse if he inssist to take you anywhere his own room or unknown place....

I think, now you are able to understand about dating and its importance....Actually this trend has come from abroad..it was not part of our culture..we believe that our gurdians are well able to find out a perfect match for us.so we don't need to choose our partener ourself..in abroad, boys or girls ,find their partener themselves..so they have a trend of date....

bye and best of luck for your date.......take care
