Hey superman, u seem pretty "modern" but i don't think that u know that there are more negative outcomes of dating than better. Let's take the States as an example. They in your mind are very "open" but look at all those orpahns and abandoned children. Teeneagers start off with dating and then end up having sex. There are so many negative things that can happen during that intercourse. They can end up with a child orspread a disease and that leads to one of them commiting suicide or being unable to present themsleves to society. SO think about the idea of dating again from this perspective. Maybe it's not so great. I'm not telling u not to have any friends that are girls. Sure, go ahead and have a healthy relationship with them. Keep your limits and don't forget your religion! I hope your thinking has changed.
