dating
hi
a brief question, when is it socially acceptable to have a romantic relationship with someone?
Comments
Hi @_navyi !
If you are referring to how old someone should be to start dating, that really depends on person to person. Firstly, you both need to be mature enough and responsible enough. Personally, I would say that high school is an acceptable time to try serious relationships. If you are younger there is also nothing wrong with having crushes and hanging out with each other.
If you mean how early into knowing someone, then It also depends from person to person. Personally, I would say give yourselves enough time to know each other and get a feel for your chemistry, whether that be weeks or months. Really get to know each other before committing to anything.
Hope everything goes well friend !
@_navyi I definitely agree with what the others have to say - contrary to popular belief, I don't believe there is a set of social "rules" that you need to follow in order for a relationship to work out. Every relationship is different, and in my experience at least the few relationships i've had have all been different from each other. Communication is key so as long as you're both/all on the same page and are psychologically ready, I'd say go for it! don't let societal stereotypes hold you back 🙂 on the flip side, don't let societal stereotypes make you feel like you have to rush into anything you're not ready for at any point in time either
Hi @_navyi, I think everyone has our own timeline so there's no need to decide on an acceptable time to be in a relationship! It can be as early as we're ready or as late as never, whichever makes you happy
Hi @_navyi,
I'm not sure there's "socially acceptable" time to begin a relationship, it's just whenever you both feel comfortable!
If you both have feelings for each other, and would like to progress the relationship into a romantic one, then there shouldn't really be an issue 🙂
I hope this answers your question! Feel free to ask anymore questions, or anything else you'd like to discuss further 🙂
