I believe people should refuse to go steady until they're well into their twenties . I've always thought trying out different dating partners is a good relationship choice . I'll admit -- you need to use your brain when you're trying out different dating partners -- If you're dating more than one person, sex is definitely out of the question . However, being single isn't about going steady . You can't find the right person when you're going steady with the wrong one .

Well, sometimes somebody meets that person they click with early. That's what works for them. Just because it doesn't for you, it doesn't mean that your method is better.

That is true, but how do you know who the right one is unless you've been with the wrong one?? People tend to go steady sometimes for security purposes, at least I think so. Some people are scared to be alone and scared they might not ever find that right person, so they stick to the one they have. In most cases, it might not be the right one. I also believe dating around is better, it helps you to understand what you are looking for and lets you "sample" different personalities and relationship styles. Basically it helps you move toward what kind of person you should be with.

Sex is definitely NOT out of the question if you're dating more than one person. It is very possible to have happy and safe sexual relationships with multiple people at once. And going steady is what happens when you really like a person. You like that person so much you don't even want to casually date other people.

People "go steady" with a person when they feel like they love (or really like) them. When you truly love someone you don't want to be with anyone else...
I understand what you're saying though...but you could miss out on the right person because you're always trying to find someone better, and by the time you find that the person you had was the right one it may be too late...

Because some people are looking for something more meaningful...
Some people are lucky enough to find someone in the first couple of dates and end up falling in love...
Falling in love doesn't necessarily mean things will work out but that's for them to find out...
And lets just say a friend can tell it's not the right person for them, It doesn't matter what anyone says...They have to learn it on there own....
Although its likely to happen again with the next person people dont usually learn the first few times, And some people are just "Programed" to get attached to people quickly...

I agree. I really wish that younger people would date (not sleep) with more people. I think your teens and 20's are when you find out about yourself, who you are, what you want, and what you want and don't want from a relationship. I think if people took more time discovering these things, having fun and save more serious relationships for later, the divorce rate would go down and people would be more happy and settled.

If that's what you prefer, good for you. Others prefer one at a time. People should date and socialize in a manner that suits them and they feel comfortable with...and of course that manner isn't going to be the same for everyone. ☺

You are right, but be careful to not dump someone too quickly. Sometimes it is good to really get to know people before you cancel them out completely.

because sometimes you meet that special someone that simply matches you.
