Question: im 13 and my mom didnt tell me anything about dating. i wanna date but what if he wants to come over? if i tell him that my mom wont let me have boys over he might break up with me
Answer: 13 yrs old is a very important age… your body’s changing, your hormones are all over the place and it’s easy to lose focus on what’s most important. At this age I believe your main focus should be school. You are entering high school soon and then will be off to college. What you do now will effect you for years to follow. Although your mother hasn’t spoken to you about dating, you still feel she is giving you limitations by saying she won’t let you have boys over. I think you should respect your mom’s wishes. I think you should wait to date. If you were to get involved with someone now, in a sense, you would be lying to your mother. If she doesn’t allow it in the house, do you think she’d be happy with you doing outside of the house? Dating also brings so many more serious situations, issues, complications. You’ll be better equipped to handle these at an older age.
You are a beautiful treasure (Deuteronomy 7:6), a gift from above. God has so many wonderful things planned for your life (Jeremiah 29:11-13)! Take the time to focus on your studies. Take the time to get to know the Lord first. Take the time to build a closer relationship with your mother… one where you two can speak openly about whatever questions you have. Having this line of communication is very important in the household and you will see that it’s very rewarding! You are at a wonderfully exciting age… try to enjoy it without adding complications.
