I was not thinking marriage until I met DH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-date-to-have-fun-or-to-find-someone-to-get-married#post-423740 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 21:29:36 +0000 Mrs. Pen 423740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>same as you! My first real boyfriend wasn't until I was 18. My parents really instilled in me that casual dating is emotionally harmful for both parties and I saw that firsthand through all my friends in high school and I decided I didn't want to go through that either. </p> <p>DH was the second guy I officially dated and the only guy I've slept with!! :) I'm proud of that and so is he. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-date-to-have-fun-or-to-find-someone-to-get-married#post-423713 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 21:24:45 +0000 yoursilverlining 423713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For fun! Let nature take it's course and enjoy yourself. Marriage isn't the end all of a relationship. I met a lot of interesting people dating; it's ok that I didnt marry them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-date-to-have-fun-or-to-find-someone-to-get-married#post-423707 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 21:23:49 +0000 prettylizy 423707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 18 when I met DH, so I was dating to get married </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-date-to-have-fun-or-to-find-someone-to-get-married#post-423702 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 21:23:10 +0000 rachiecakes 423702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 19 when I met DH and marriage was probably close to last on my mind, we got married 10+ years later :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-date-to-have-fun-or-to-find-someone-to-get-married#post-423681 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 21:19:52 +0000 Weagle 423681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a "date to be married" person too. I don't see the point of doing it any other way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-date-to-have-fun-or-to-find-someone-to-get-married#post-422913 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 18:39:25 +0000 autumnlove 422913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For fun until I started dating DH. Marriage never crossed my mind with other guys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-date-to-have-fun-or-to-find-someone-to-get-married#post-422912 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 18:39:03 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 422912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think marriage was always in the back of my mind, but I did continue to date a couple of people who I never would have married... probably because I didn't want to be single (which is sad). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-date-to-have-fun-or-to-find-someone-to-get-married#post-422911 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 18:38:40 +0000 Ra 422911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband was supposed to be a rebound. We started dating shortly after I got out of a three year relationship.</p> <p>Thankfully, things worked out a little differently than I expected! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-date-to-have-fun-or-to-find-someone-to-get-married#post-422910 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 18:38:32 +0000 Honeybee 422910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I got together fairly young (18/19), so I guess all the dating I did before then was for fun. I never considered marrying any of my boyfriends before DH, although I did get a couple proposals. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-date-to-have-fun-or-to-find-someone-to-get-married#post-422908 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 18:35:40 +0000 mrbee 422908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in the "date to get married" camp. If I figured out I wasn't gonna marry someone, I would break up with them...</p> <p>Did you date to have fun? Or to find someone to get married... </p>
