We cant date because we believe that if we dated too young we could lose our virginity before marriage. and because where exactly do you go to when u r younger than 16 if u date?

You mean Mormons? Well, they have alot of rules they must follow. They cant drink either. The dating thing, Ive never heard of this till now, but its a very strict religion....thats all I know. They arnt all like that though. My best friend in High School was a Mormon, and she was dating before then.

I'm a mormon, and it's not that we cant its just that some choose not to because they feel that it is a better way to be closer to the church. The church has a dateing service for some teens to meet other people in the ward but it is not that they cant its they choose not to.

I can't date until I am 18 and then it has to be approved by everyone.

Just part of setting standards. Even then it should only be group dating. Children that young ( and they are just that.... Children!)are not responsible enough to handle their hormones nor be able to handle the consequences of their actions if they give into temptations. ( You know what I'm talking about!! haha)

I am not a Mormon, and I had to wait til I was 16. Why? Because my parents said so. The church had nothing to do with it.

I think many kids can't officially "date" until they are 16...

Because mom and dad say so. That is it no other reason, and just so you know any religion is that way its not that they are mormons its that their parents object.

I am not Mormon, but why should kids be trying to please the opposite sex in that way before that age? It isn't a bad rule, actually. But, I am a mother of girls.
