Nothing in the Holy Bible against a bf/gf. But I personally have taken a vow not to date. It brings up WAY to much drama for high school, and I'm probably not going to find my future soul mate in high school. But if you are going to date, here are the best guidelines for it.
He/she should bring the best out of you.
Grades should go up as he/she bring the best out of you
Your relationship with God should increase for reasons stated above
Base it on Christ, do Bible studies instead of body studies ;)
And keep a real Bible's distance between you, not a pocket Bible :)

With these, you can find the best girl for you! Hope that helps!

Don't do it... Just don't. I've gone through so many relationships, each one went to waste and only caused hurt. Seriously, just wait until you're like 20 and then see if there's a girl out there that would be a good spouse.
I don't think there is anything specifically against it in the Bible. However, I do feel that it isn't something G-d is all too happy with, since breaking up is just like practicing with divorce and it can also lead to couples living together before marriage... Also, premarital sex can be a result of dating. It's just not a good scenario at all.

Avoid it for now, trust me...

I personally don't think it is wise because it creates too many problems. I think dating trains teens to think it's OK to divorce their spouse after they get bored with them or a conflict arises. I don't think it's a sin I just don't think it's wise for a lot of people. I think it's between you and God, only He knows what we can each handle.

there is nothing wrong with high school dating, but as its been said, be careful, things like this can get away from one very easily. it gives you good practice for later in life, so long as its done properly, and with respect. you respect her wishes, and if she woun't respect yours, make sure to talk to her about it, its not complicated unless you make it so.

most broken, terrible relationships are that way because of selfishness, make sure to do everything you can to keep that out of the equation, but im sure i didn't have to mention that.

I personally think that there is too much scaremongering here.

If you think you're mature enough to be a spiritual leader in a relationship, and you have interest in a godly Christian girl, then ask her out.

I see more problems arise in Christian circles with people who have a weird scared-to-death view of dating all for the sake of "wisdom." We have too many guys putting off even thinking about marriage and they get stuck in an eternal immaturity where they play Call of Duty and play with themselves for years.

Get a Bible. Get a job. Grow a pair. Ask a girl out.
