I'm 18 and I don't date. I really mean it, I just don't. I've skipped dances and the prom so I wouldn't have to be in any date-like situations(or buy a dress, but that was just a bonus). That being said my sister-in-law want me to date. She said it doesn't have to be serious I should just get out there. So I just told her politely that I don't date. Well, she won't give up and she's even trying to set me up on a date. Yeah, I know, he could be really nice and cute(blah blah blah...) who cares! I really have no interest in getting a boyfriend, getting married or having kids. I'm kinda busy having a life and I can't do that if I have a boyfriend.
So question time, should I just go so she'll sod off? or should I stick to my guns?

Well, I got a question.. is the reason you don't date is cuz u think you will get a boyfriend and don't want one?.
This is from the "For the strengt of youth"
-Not all teenagers need to date or even want to. Many young people do not date during their teen years because they are not yet interested, do not have opportunities, or simply want to delay forming serious relationships. However, good friendships can and should be developed at every age-
So yeah, if you don't want a relationship then just go out with some guys your friends with. not the same person over and over tho but if you just don't want to date, it's fine like it says in FTSOY

I can understand your point on a lot of these, but I think you're making too much of a point to avoid all of it. Dances, for example, aren't for dating. I enjoy meeting new girls and stuff at them but they're mainly a way to let loose and just have fun! Don't forget you have the power to say "no". You can go on a date and have a good time and if you don't want to take the step, just tell the guy. I think you're missing out if you're avoiding dates just because you're worried that you'll be glued to a boyfriend after it. I just think you're going a little far with how you avoid things. Here's my opinion. Try it. If you don't like it, you can get people off your case, but if you enjoy yourself, then perfect (Take that back: If it was bad, give it another chance. For every awesome date I've been on there's been just a horrible one)!! As for the busy comment. I have three sports, NHS & Student Council, three college classes, and missionairy and job papers all going on at the same time right now (yes, three sports at the same time. It gets busy). I went on a date last weekend. So take it from me, you'll find time.

So question time, should I just go so she'll sod off? or should I stick to my guns? We all have our own individual take on things. I actually prefer casual group dating. I enjoy going out socially with people my age, but I don't want to be caught up in a serious relationship at the present time because I'm not ready for one! To help me avoid the pressure and drama of getting caught up into a serious relationship.....I tell the guy right up front when he first ask me out ( that I'll accept if he is willing to understand that this is only a fun date.......no strings attached, not the start of a serious relationship and that we are going to keep high standards!) ....if he can't wrap his mind around that then I tell him to ask someone else! I think that we all need the social interaction of getting out and having fun with people our age. It will also give one the opportunity to observe the unique qualities that a variety of different people pocess........and this can give you an insight into the qualities that you might want in a future relationship when you are ready for one!

If you don't wnat to date, don't date.. whether if it's just for now, or for the rest of your life, if you don't want to date, you shouldn't.. make friends and life the way you should..
