Question...

I have a queston, and it may be kind of hard to answer, but I sincerely want your opinion:

How do you know when your ready to date? And if you decide to date but it turns out that you weren't ready after all, will breaking up hurt more, willl you hurt more, or should you even break it off at all?

you kinda just know by how your feeling while your out this a lad/girl on date...
wot i do is not say its a date its a mett up.. its less pressure n its not a date its a drink n a chat!!!
um if u dont feel right after u left then u say lk its not u its me sort of thing i wood still like u as a mate for awhile please rather than rushing into something!!
it will only hurt if u go into something when ur not ready too... coz youll fall way to soon for tht person n itll hurt more coz it wont wk out!!

i say if u aint bn long out realtionships then jus meet few times n see whats what n talk... tht is the only way ull no if u like him/her n if yuour ready for something else!!

hope tht answers your quetions

Well Sarah, only you will know when you are ready to date. I first started dating at a young age, and then broke up with my girlfriend, and stopped dating for years. I wasn't ready. I was a kid, I wanted to enjoy my childhood, not have to be all mature and 'tied down'. When I started working, and was in highschool, and done with being a kid, I was ready again.

Breaking up will hurt, always. But if the person understands, it might not be so bad. You should decide if you want this or not. Don't ever force yourself to do something you don't want to, or not ready for.

Only you can know when you are ready to date.

If you don't feel comfortable...you aren't ready!! Breaking up will hurt both parties in a way...but it happens!! Don't hurt yourself so that you don't hurt someone else. That only ends in catastrophe.

You only know when you can date, you only know when you like someone, and you only know when you love someone. That's all.

Now THIS is sweet!! NO sex -- JUST DATING! LOL

If you try and you're not ready the best you can do is suggest a friendship...if he doesn't understand then he wasn't worth your time any way!!

You know you are ready to date when you ask the question.
