It's a less common occurrence, but it happens. You should certainly still date even if you are not looking for a marriage partner. If it is even possible, would it strengthen or weaken their ability to develop a personal relationship with their Heavenly Father.

While dating is a good time to get to know someone, if you are young it is better to go on group dates. Break it off amicably now, before it gets too difficult.
