      Dating is not the proper way of judging the partner.
      ਏਕਾ ਨਾਰੀ ਜਤੀ ਹੋਇ ਪਰ ਨਾਰੀ ਧੀ ਭੈਣ ਵਖਾਣੈ। Bhai Gurdaas Ji in No Raag – 6
      Young children under the influence of Kaam can not judge the partner properly.
      Best is to observe, interact, and take the guidence of elders before arriving at any conclusion.
      Please go through the following article for details
      http://www.geocities.ws/sarbjitsingh/Bani3840GurMag.pdf
      Once we are committed to the Guru and start following the Gurbani written in Guru Granth Sahib. Then there is no scope of any divorce.

      Respected Brother/Sister,
      Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh!

      In response to your question about boy friend or girl friend, the undersigned wants to say that there is no problem in having friends but such a friendship further leads to pre-marital sex which is not, as per teachings of Guru Granth Sahib because the Gurbani teaches us to keep control on lust.

      At Pannas 1159-60 of Guru Granth Sahib, Bhagat Kabir ji in his Shabad is guiding us:

      ‘ਹੈ ਹਜੂਰਿ ਕਤ ਦੂਰਿ ਬਤਾਵਹੁ ॥ ਦੁੰਦਰ ਬਾਧਹੁ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਪਾਵਹੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ ਅਰਥਾਤ ਕਬੀਰ ਜੀ ਸਿੱਖਿਆ ਦਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ ਕਿ ਜੇ ਤੂੰ ਉਸ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਨਾਲ ਸਾਂਝ ਪਾਉਣਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਤੂੰ ਮਨ ਨੂੰ ਵੱਸ ਕਰਨ ਦਾ ਜਤਨ ਕਰ ਕੇ, ਕਾਮਾਦਿਕ ਤੇ ਹੋਰ ਵਿਕਾਰਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਕਾਬੂ ਵਿਚ ਰੱਖ।’

      Further, at Panna 26 of Guru Granth Sahib, the third Guru Person Guru Amardas is teaching us:

      ‘ਜੇ ਲਖ ਇਸਤਰੀਆ ਭੋਗ ਕਰਹਿ ਨਵ ਖੰਡ ਰਾਜੁ ਕਮਾਹਿ ॥ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਗੁਰ ਸੁਖੁ ਨ ਪਾਵਈ ਫਿਰਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਜੋਨੀ ਪਾਹਿ ॥੩॥(ਪੰਨਾ 26)‌ਅਰਥਾਤ (ਹੇ ਭਾਈ!) ਜੇ ਤੂੰ (ਕਾਮ-ਵਾਸਨਾ ਪੂਰੀ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ) ਲੱਖ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀਆਂ ਭੀ ਭੋਗ ਲਏਂ, ਜੇ ਤੂੰ ਸਾਰੀ ਧਰਤੀ ਦਾ ਰਾਜ ਭੀ ਕਰ ਲਏਂ, ਤਾਂ ਭੀ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਦੀ ਸਰਨ ਤੋਂ ਬਿਨਾ ਆਤਮਕ ਸੁਖ ਨਹੀਂ ਲੱਭ ਸਕੇਂਗਾ, (ਸਗੋਂ) ਮੁੜ ਮੁੜ ਜੂਨਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਪਿਆ ਰਹੇਂਗਾ।3। ੍ਰ

      Further, the undersigned wants to quote a Salok of Fifth Guru Person Guru Arjan Sahib, from Salok Sehaskriti Mehalla 5, in which Guru Sahib is addressing the problem of lust, results of indulging in it and also giving guidance to get rid of it, by building a strong character:

      ਹੇ ਕਾਮੰ ਨਰਕ ਬਿਸ੍ਰਾਮੰ ਬਹੁ ਜੋਨੀ ਭ੍ਰਮਾਵਣਹ ॥ ਚਿਤ ਹਰਣੰ ਤ੍ਰੈ ਲੋਕ ਗੰਮ੍ਯ੍ਯੰ ਜਪ ਤਪ ਸੀਲ ਬਿਦਾਰਣਹ ॥ ਅਲਪ ਸੁਖ ਅਵਿਤ ਚੰਚਲ ਊਚ ਨੀਚ ਸਮਾਵਣਹ ॥ ਤਵ ਭੈ ਬਿਮੁੰਚਿਤ ਸਾਧ ਸੰਗਮ ਓਟ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਰਾਇਣਹ ॥੪੬॥ {ਪੰਨਾ 1358}

      ਅਰਥ: ਹੇ ਕਾਮ! ਤੂੰ (ਜੀਵਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਵੱਸ ਵਿਚ ਕਰ ਕੇ) ਨਰਕ ਵਿਚ ਅਪੜਾਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਹੈਂ ਅਤੇ ਕਈ ਜੂਨਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਭਟਕਾਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਹੈਂ।

      ਤੂੰ ਜੀਵਾਂ ਦੇ ਮਨ ਭਰਮਾ ਲੈਂਦਾ ਹੈਂ, ਤਿੰਨਾਂ ਹੀ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਤੇਰੀ ਪਹੁੰਚ ਹੈ, ਤੂੰ ਜੀਵਾਂ ਦੇ ਜਪ ਤਪ ਤੇ ਸੁੱਧ ਆਚਰਨ ਨਾਸ ਕਰ ਦੇਂਦਾ ਹੈਂ।

      ਹੇ ਚੰਚਲ ਕਾਮ! ਤੂੰ ਸੁਖ ਤਾਂ ਥੋੜਾ ਹੀ ਦੇਂਦਾ ਹੈਂ, ਪਰ ਇਸੇ ਨਾਲ ਤੂੰ ਜੀਵਾਂ ਨੂੰ (ਸੁੱਧ ਆਚਰਨ ਦੇ) ਧਨ ਤੋਂ ਸੱਖਣਾ ਕਰ ਦੇਂਦਾ ਹੈਂ। ਜੀਵ ਉੱਚੇ ਹੋਣ, ਨੀਵੇਂ ਹੋਣ, ਸਭਨਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਤੂੰ ਪਹੁੰਚ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈਂ।

      ਸਾਧ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਵਿਚ ਪਹੁੰਚਿਆਂ ਤੇਰੇ ਡਰ ਤੋਂ ਖ਼ਲਾਸੀ ਮਿਲਦੀ ਹੈ। ਹੇ ਨਾਨਕ! (ਸਾਧ ਸੰਗ ਵਿਚ ਜਾ ਕੇ) ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਦੀ ਸਰਨ ਲੈ। 46।

      ਭਾਵ: ਮਨੁੱਖ ਉੱਚੀ ਜਾਤਿ ਦੇ ਹੋਣ ਚਾਹੇ ਨੀਵੀਂ ਜਾਤਿ ਦੇ, ਕਾਮਦੇਵ ਸਭਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਕਾਬੂ ਵਿਚ ਕਰ ਲੈਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਇਸ ਦੀ ਮਾਰ ਤੋਂ ਉਹੀ ਬਚਦਾ ਹੈ ਜੋ ਸਾਧ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਵਿਚ ਟਿਕ ਕੇ ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਦਾ ਆਸਰਾ ਲੈਂਦਾ ਹੈ।

      As taught in Gurbani, the goal of a person/Sikh’s life should be to get rid of vices, become a righteous/ virtuous person (Gurmukh), be one with Akalpurakh and Shabad Guru, who are spiritually embodiment of each other and achieve the stage of spiritual equipoise and spiritual bliss. The final goal is to achieve spiritual emancipation/salvation in this life itself because there is no concept of emancipation/ salvation, after death in Sikhism.

      Therefore, in Sikhism, keeping control on lust is very much necessary. Love marriage is a serious matter and the decision needs to be taken with utmost care and maturity.

      Hope it helps. If you have any further questions, please do ask. If you find any deficiencies, please point out the same, for improvement in future.

      Regards,
      Your Brother
