What is dating?

Dating is the step you take before coming a serious couple leading up to marriage. You make sure to not marry into something that wont work out. A lot of people skip over the first step and go directly to marriage, it ends badly. Therefore you should date. Only date when you become 17+ because a relationship will typically not survive under the teen years, you change too much. In a relationship you live together, you share expenses, you have sex and love each other. You're each others right hand. No one needs a SO... as its said in the bible, let people come together in relationships if they have time for it. So if you dont want it, wait.
