Single or taken?

Yeah, maybe if you're dating a girl who expects you to buy her everything while she doesn't contribute at all. But if you're in a relationship where both of you are equals, instead of one depending on the other for everything, then things would be better, not worse.

Or you could treat the other person if you go out on a date, or buy them special gifts.

Yes, you could do that, but it certainly shouldn't be a requirement. Your boyfriend/girlfriend shouldn't expect you to buy them "nice things" all the time. Sure, you can do it, but relationships shouldn't be based on material things. You don't want to try to "buy" someone's love. Also, if you do buy them something every once and awhile out of kindness, they should probably do the same, too, so in the end it would be just like exchanging gifts. You may spend some money, but you'll get something in return.

if i got a girl some flowers, i wouldnt expect anything back. it doesnt have to be a gift exchanging thing.

Single. I feel like the virgin of my group. >_>
The virgin of not being with anyone yet.

Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time.

Nah, I'd rather stay single. I don't wanna ruin my 8th grade year.
And seeing all of my friends' relationships... eh. D:

Since I missed the whole sex before marriage discussion, I'll post my opinion on the matter now...

First of all, I am Christian, and I do see sex as something more than just pleasure. But should it be saved for marriage? Sure, if that's what you want. But I believe that as long as you're in a committed relationship, having sex is perfectly fine. If you think about it, what's the difference between marriage and a committed relationship? A ceremony and a some legal papers, that's all. I don't see why you should have to wait for marriage if you already plan on spending the rest of your life together. Besides, some people can't get married. Andrew and I are a perfect example. We'd get married right this second if we could, but because the country we live in is so *censored.3.0*ed up, it's not legal for us to get married in the state we live in. If we would have waited until marriage to have sex, then we'd be waiting for a long time. But we feel like, act like, and have the same vows as a married couple, so isn't that enough? To me, if you're both ready to spend the rest of your lives together, and you're truly in love, then sex is perfectly fine. If anything, it'll make your relationship even better. Of course, if you're a straight couple and not in the position to take care of kids, then you should be cautious and use protection until you're ready. (Luckily, I don't have to worry about that, lol.)

So, there. That's my opinion. If someone choses to wait until marriage, then you should respect their decision, not criticize them for it. But at the same side, people shouldn't be using the Bible to condemn people who have had sex before marriage. Yes, I'm Christian, but I know well enough that you can't take the Bible 100% literally, nor does everything it says apply to current times. I'm sure none of you believe eating shellfish is a sin punishable by death, right?

 

[Tyeforce]

Quoting limited to 4 levels deepbuygood thing... You'll have two incomes (assuming both of you work, that is) so you'll be able to help each other out with bills, groceries, etc. It sure beats having to pay for it by yourself. Yes, you'll be spending more money if you have kids, but that's down the road.

You can do that without getting married.

Do what? Share your money or have kids? Either way, I wasn't implying that neither was possible if you're not married...

And if you're married you could be screwed over, because legally you share your stuff.

Surely you wouldn't marry someone who you believe would possibly screw you over in the future, would you?

Hmm. I hadn't really thought about it that way before. Very well said.

Marriage is just an expensive title.

 

[Rocketman]

Technically Tyeforce, the Bible speaks of homosexual sex as immoral and a sin. Read Corinthians I. Those who commit such a crime will die in blood, or something along the lines of that, referring to aids or something of that manner. I'm not angry or anything, I was simply pointing it out. We don't judge anyone.

 

[Megamannt125]

Technically Tyeforce, the Bible speaks of homosexual sex as immoral and a sin, and those will be punished. Read Corinthians I.

He said the bible doesn't apply to current times, therefore contradicting his sex before marriage views.

You're taking what I'm saying the wrong way. I'm not saying that your boyfriend/girlfriend should give you something when you give them something. What I'm saying is that it should be assumed that you're both giving each other things in return. It's not a direct gift exchange, of course. Think of it like this; I take my boyfriend out for a movie, and a few days later he takes me out for dinner. See what I mean? That dinner wasn't "paying me back" for taking him to the movie. It was him doing it because he loves me, the same reason why I took him out to the movie. What I'm trying to say is that, because you'll both be doing things like that for each other (again, assuming you don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend who expects you to buy them nice things all the time and does anything for you), it'll be like you're exchanging gifts and favors, but in reality you're not.

That's funny, because the original Hebrew Bible certainly doesn't. All the verses that speak of homosexuality were added in by the Catholic church. It's not real Christianity, it's the biased distortion of it that we are taught today.
