What Are Your Dating Rights? - By: lar, Posted on: 2008-04-15

Just like driving a car, going to school or playing a sport, dating someone comes with both rights and responsibilities. Print these out and post them as a reminder for yourself and others. But first, look at them carefully and ask yourself if you are violating someone else's rights - or if someone is violating yours. Are you fulfilling your responsibilities? Are you respecting your rights and the rights of your date?

Rights

I have the right:

1. To be treated with respect always
2. To my own body, thoughts, opinions, and property
3. To choose and keep my friends
4. To change my mind - at any time
5. To not be abused - physically, emotionally or sexually
6. To leave a relationship
7. To say no
8. To be treated as an equal
9. To disagree
10. To live without fear and confusion from my boyfriend's or girlfriend's anger

Responsibilities

I have the responsibility:

1. To not threaten to harm myself or another
2. To encourage my girlfriend or boyfriend to pursue their dreams
3. To support my girlfriend or boyfriend emotionally
4. To communicate, not manipulate
5. To not humiliate or demean my girlfriend or boyfriend
6. To refuse to abuse - physically, emotionally or sexually
7. To take care of myself
8. To allow my boyfriend or girlfriend to maintain their individuality
9. To respect myself and my girlfriend or boyfriend
10. To be honest with each other

Relationships are based on mutual agreements. You and your partner must work to achieve 50-50 (or close to it).

You have to also keep in mind that no relationship is 100% perfect and must be a work in progress to achieve. You and your partner will have to work daily to try to get to that level. There will be bumps along the way, but that is part of relationship building.
