How to get out...?

[vashti]

Well, I've known kids to have long-term romances lasting a couple of years or longer. At what age do you propose no long term dating should be allowed unless you are ready to sign your life away?

Oh my god indi ! You have no idea how much I appreciate that! I'm going to copy it for the boys that are buzzing around my daughter.

[IndiReloaded]

It will make your husband feel better. Depending on how protective he is, he might even make physical copies he keeps by the front door.

My father used to ask the boy friends who came around (for the pool) how long they could hold their breath, lol.

[vashti]

My daughter wanted me to let her meet up with a boy... I showed his picture to my son and asked if he knew the boy, and my son said "absolutely not! I won't allow it." Hysterical!

My son is more protective than his father. We are going to change the title of your application to "application for permission to date my sister" and let HIM hand them out. Both the boys in my house had a good laugh over that application.

[lesa]

My parents kind of mentally had an application like that one so I never had relationships in high school and never had to deal with LTRs during that time. I would probably just allow my 16+ adolescent to date if even that! LTR are for adults of legal age IMO.

Same for me vashti...you really had to have my brothers' approval especially the one that was 1.5 years older then me and we saw each other on campus often. No boy was allowed to flirt..and I had no interest anyway.

[Cain]

While I don't think a 14 year old child should be out dating, I don't agree with not letting someone date until they are 18.

[lesa]

Allowing them to date depend on the teens and what I think they can handle. Dating is a possibility but I would not allow a real adult-like LTR.

[Cain]

In my opinion, it's only a LTR when the relationship has reached a certain length. If I just start dating someone a week ago, we aren't in a LTR. We're in a relationship... that's it... if we've even left the dating stage.

What do you define as an adult like LTR?

[lesa]

Sorry my mind is asleep...I do not understand your first paragraph...I think we are in agreement on the terms dating and LTR?

An adult-like LTR is a LTR that most adults have when in a committed, intimate, and passonate relationship together. I want my teen to not be distracted or live their life as two before fulfilling many of their life goals that young adolescents deal with...such as where to go to college, what major and profession should they choose..and whether career plans need to be compromised, adjusted, or delayed because they are in a serious committed relationship and want to keep a balance, etc. Not everyone thinks like this but most do--at least unconsciously. I say adult-like only because I know that many teens do have long term friendships or a LTR that is not really define as one involving committment, intimacy, and passion.

You can go on dates for months and still not be in a LTR.

A LTR by my definitions...not the literal meaning of the words is some sort of agreement between two people hoping that the relationship will progress for a length of time...they are saying really that they want a serious, committed relationship and just go from there to hope that it does happen..and then go from there....until death, marriage, a finding of incompatibility, infidelity, or major issues arises that can no longer be compromise...or simply they are bored and tired of being in the committed relationship...

A short-term relationship (STR) the person tells you (hopefully) from the beginning that they want a passionate and intimate relationship that may involve some committment but that they only want a relationship for a short time...and then later they may reevaluate whether they want more but most likely just end the relationship for any or no reasons (usually they end it when one partner wants more from the relationship than what is currently provided). Sometimes people express a reason for STR is that they will be moving soon, or they do not want a serious relationship (just companionship...aka consistent sex or friends with benefits that involve dates perhaps..., and they may have recently ended a relationship and is on the rebound.

[Cain]

Basically, I was saying is that I believe a relationship becomes a LTR only after the two have been together for a certain length of time. If you meet someone tomorrow and get into a relationship with them, it isn't a LTR.

Get what I mean?

[Mish]

I'll make sure to mention that to all the teenagers who are dating. ^^

In fact, since I don't think anyone should marry until the age of 30, there should be no dating allowed until you are 29 and are ready to date with an eye towards permanency.



(sarcasm)

You're not understanding Vash. Anyone can date anyone. But only those who are ready for serious work in relationships should have relationships. Relationships are not for everyone.

[misombra]

does marriage imply permanency anymore?

[lesa]

Then we are indeed in agreement.
