I grew up in a strict parenting household, so when it came to dating, my parents had many rules. However, my parents always taught me how to be prepared for relationships. They always advised me how to behave, and the ‘dos and don’ts.’ I was never allowed to date until the age of 16, and neither were boyfriends or girlfriends allowed in our bedrooms with the door closed. The number one rule that my parents advised me was to abstain from intimate relations with my partner until marriage. My parents also requested to meet the people I was dating, which was never fun for me.
All the rules were functional, and I did what my parents advised me. Having my parents involved in my dating life was challenging since they wanted to be involved in every part of it. I broke a few rules, but I had my parents guiding me all the way. These rules have influenced my dating and relationship since I tend to look for a happy and steady relationship. Being young and dating, I was able to learn a lot about dating. Also, I was lucky that my parents were there to help me understand and express my emotions better.

I realized having parents involved in your dating life at a young age can be annoying and uncomfortable, but it surely is important, they taught me a lot, and I was free talking to them about dating and sex. Now I know what is expected for a good relationship, and I also feel comfortable with the idea of getting into a steady relationship. In the future, I will apply the rules to my children, and I will be involved in their dating life just like my parents did to me.
