Okay, I want to ask this;

- When is the perfect time to start a relationship ? At what age ?

Sometimes, I see children start stupid relationships and they live in their fantasy without knowing it might end one day & hurt them.

Or sometimes I see people who are totally immature getting in relationships for the sake of playing and having fun. bla bla.

What qualities should a person have so she/he can start a proper relationship with someone ?

Such questions always gets me confused. :shy:

Opinions ?
:cute:

I think once you know yourself as a person, are grounded....have great self-confidence....have some solid goals for yourself yeah then I think you can be ready. But high school age no....still discovering oneself at that time.

Nah, don't feel sorry for me. I'm satisfied with who I'm at the moment.

Plus, I don't think u read the whole thing.

The relationship I mean, is the relationship which grows between a guy and girl at anytime in this life.

Starting with a friendship and ends with marriege. ;) !!

I do agree in this .. High School relationships ends up with a big dissapointment most of the time.

But the thing I didn't understand is, how can u know yourself ?
I mean, by doing what exactly ?

I sometimes think that I know myself & I end up knowing nothing, as soon as I hear someone's thoughts or criticisms.

Are there any specific things you should have to be a good partner ?

I dont believe in relationships.

only if you decided to get married then at that time you can start a relationship or i can say during the engagement phase where you can know your spouse more.

so since i dont believe in relationships that dosent end with marriage i cant say at what age is to start.

This is interesting, actually.
I like the idea of taking the engagement phase as a relationship.

But, what age u think is the best to get engaged at ? :)
After high school ? or ?

When you are done with studies and find your self ready for it, and when you find the right person, when you are ready to handle responsiblities thats what i think

you may not agree with me but its my opinon:)

I find it kind of reasonable.
But, don't u think after getting a decent job is much better ?
So you can help your partner .. Two hands clap much better than one, u know.

Handling responsiblities .. How does this thing get fulfilled ? :think:

I was about to write the same thing. From the Islamic point of view, there is no such thing as relationship. If you really like a girl, then go and propose to her parents. You can have Malka and see her regularly without getting intimate, once you are ready (financially, etc.) you can decide to take her over.

Well, if they are still immature, they'll start it anyway without thinking: "is this the right age?"

Anyway, the right time is when both partners are mature. So if one of them is mature, he/she will know if the partner is mature and can start a relationship. If they're both kids, then good luck!

I am referring to both, premartial relationship and marriage. In both cases, it needs mature people to work out.

i believe relationships shape you and help you discover who you are.
if a person is going to start a relationship young, they should have it in mind that most probably its all gonna fall through so don't do anything stupid.

now ofcourse, the older you get, the smarter you're supposed to be (in relationships).
Now if you grow up and have your first relationship when you're 25 (well rounded mind, fully mature), you're might mess up because u have no experience.

On the other hand, without any previous experiences, the first relationship would give you those goosebumps and blood rushes that you would have lost a long time ago from getting hurt over and over if you had previous relationships...

There is no under-age limit for love. So there is no way you can stop it. However, i'd say 18 is a good age to start an actual relationship with someone.

I think the right time is when you're heading down the road to marriage and just before you reach that age, you would like to know your partner for a while. I guess for the "while" is the right time to start the relationship. In other words, if you're planning to get married after university and that means when you're 22...then perhaps when you are 20-21, you can start getting to know the person you think will make a great partner.

i don't think there is a 'perfect age'. it depends on what sort of relationship are you looking for.

Probably when you're in college/uni.

While high school relationships are fun and carefree, they are usually completely pointless as they rarely last. Also, at that age, you're too young to know what you want out of a relationship and what kind of guy suits you most. When I look back at my crushes or relationships from back then, I normally think, "What was I thinking?!" All the guys were just so wrong for me.

Since most people get married after graduating from uni, I'd say it'd probably be ideal if you met someone during your years at uni and got to know them, so that by the time you're done, you'd know them well enough to decide if you want to marry them.

As markov said from the Islamic point of view there is nothing called relationships, there is only proposing and getting married, so the responsibilities I am talking about here is the marriage responsibilities
. Simply if you are ready for all that then just proceed:)
And yes ofcourse you can add decent job: d one of the important things .
