10 Tips For Safe Teen Dating For Girls

Dating is an important activity for teenagers.
It provides a platform to meet other people, have fun, to learn what you like and dislike in other people, and helps to set your goals for choosing a mate that hopefully will join you in a long, productive and happy life.
Here are some helps from an old man who has raised a flock of kids and helped many others as a youth leader.
1.

Know Who You Are Dating Never date a stranger. Never climb into a car with a bunch of kids you don't know.

Don't bother with blind dates or dates recommended by others.
Instead date people you know.

Know who their associates are. Don't let them entice you into a network of people who do not have high social and moral standards. If a date does not meet your standards, drop him at once and don't let him talk you into dating again.
2.
Don't Date One-On-One Until you are age sixteen (16) or your parents say you are mature enough don't date one-on-one.

Always date in small groups of at least four people.
If you are young and the person you are dating is older than your age group, talk to your parents before dating such a person. 3. Stay in Contact with Your Parents We have cell-phone-itis. That is good thing for parents who want to know what their children are doing. Take your cell with you on your dates.
If there is any change in plans during your date, call your mother so that she knows what you are doing.

If your partner thinks that is childish, get another dating partner. 4.

Avoid Drugs and Alcohol Kids on drugs and alcohol are killed in automobile accidents everyday.
Don't get into a car with a person that has the need for speed or is a careless or reckless driver.

Don't go to places or parties where alcohol or drugs are used.

Don't be a girl that uses drugs or alcohol and wakes up pregnant.
5.

Have Parents Monitor Group Parties If you are going to a group party at a home, in a park, or where ever, tell your parent to see that the sponsoring parents are not going to allow drugs or alcohol.
Don't go to such a party not chaperoned or monitored by responsible adults. 6. Don't Go Steady When the person you are dating ask you to go steady tell him you are not interested.

Tell him that you want to meet and associate with other people and not be tied down to any commitment until you are older.

7.

Avoid Petting and Sexual Activities Save out-of-marriage sexual relations until you are married.
Would you like to be married to a person that had out-of-marriage sexual relations before marriage? Why wouldn't he (or she) have out-of-marriage sexual relations after marriage? 8.

Dress Modestly Dress for the occasion but be modest and comely. Modesty is a virtue as your mother taught you when you were small.
9. Seek Friends Who Have Common Interest After you are married you will need something to talk about other than the weather.

If you join school extracurricular activities of your interest, then you will find people there that have your interest.
Academic clubs are good such as a chemistry club, a Spanish club, a political club, a glee club.
10.
Tell Your Parents About Any Problems You Are Having or Had on a Date.

If you are having a problem on a date or even if you think you are going to have a problem, call your parents. Always talk to your mother about your last date.

Be able to tell her you acted with decorum and wisdom. Fly Old Glory!
