The Most Awkward Dating Experience!

A Typical Rumspringa experience in the Amish community that I grew up in involves lots of drinking, Amish parties, music, games, food & other activities, and the whole point of Rumspringa is to find an Amish partner to get married to. I started Rumspringa at the age of 17. I had fun experiences and also some that were not fun at all. Dating was a big part of it as well. Four Amish guys asked me on a date (not directly), I said yes to two of them and no to the other two. I only really dated one of them for 6 months. It was SO awkward! The Amish dating is dangerous and unhealthy and even disturbing! There are many misconceptions about Rumspringa. The Amish dating is against what God would want. But it is completely normal in the Amish.
