213. Why I'm Not Dating in High School Part 2

Is teen dating a harmless playground or a high-stakes path to your future? In this episode, Coach Jamie and her teen co-hosts pull back the curtain on the "casual dating" lie. We’re diving deep into why your relationship status shouldn't define you, the hidden risks of "missionary dating," and how to spot a "non-negotiable" before you lose your heart (and your identity). Whether you’re currently crushing on someone or committed to staying single, this conversation will change the way you look at love. ---------------------------------------- KEY TAKEAWAYS TO REMEMBER: * The Promise > The Playground: Dating isn’t a hobby; it’s a path toward a lifelong promise. * Character Over Chemistry: If their heart doesn't match your faith, it's a no-go. * Vertical Before Horizontal: Your relationship with God must be solid before you try to build one with a partner. ---------------------------------------- MEMORABLE MOMENTS: > "Dating isn't a playground; it's a path toward a promise." "God is the one that completes us—not a boyfriend." ---------------------------------------- CONNECT WITH US: * Subscribe for more honest conversations on faith and life. * Sign up for Glow Mail: Get encouragement delivered to your mail box: https://uncommonteen.com/glowmail [https://uncommonteen.com/glowmail] * Follow UncommonTEEN: https://instagram.com/uncommon.teen [https://instagram.com/uncommon.teen] * Youtube: https://youtube.com/@uncommonteen [https://youtube.com/@uncommonteen] #TeenDating #ChristianRelationships #WaitingForMarriage #DatingWithPurpose #FaithAndRelationships
