I am only 13, and I don't think it is appropriate to be dating at my age. At school, and even outside of school, I get told how stupid it is that I won't date. I mean, I want to wait for the perfect one... no one seems to understand. Is anyone here going through the same thing?

I don't know those people, but they're probably just dating for the sake of dating, not for the actual person.

You are just fine not dating at 13...that is kinda young. I didn't date until I started college and even then I wasn't really ready for it. Dating before both you and your partner are ready for it can lead to a ton of heartache. The Lord has the perfect plan for you. Just trust Him.

i have to hand it to you, you are a much stronger girl than i. unfortunately, guys tend be a weakness of mine. keep up the great work. ;)

Scared and shy for most of highschool kinda left me out of the dating scene. As soon as I got to college I gave myself away and was actually engaged within my first year. That didn't last long. It's been a long very hard journey (what I've put here barely scratches the surface), but i'm learning that only the Lord can fill that void in me. He is strong and in my weakness His strength shows.
