100%! Every boy should have a Rav with whom to speak out dating issues.
As far as girls are concerned, girls either way should not go out until they are at least 21, to have some better idea of what they really want. In addition, girls could use hadracha, either the method of our bubbies (speaking to siblings, parents and grandparents, B’H) or the “modern method” of asking your sem teacher if option 1 is not available.
The pitfall of asking a Sem teacher is that she may give you a valid reason that applies in EY, but may be completely off for an American dating system. As long as your “guide” can adjust, you shold be OK.
