hey people, once again i have an issue ...see my parents are the type that want me to date when im older (16ish or 17ish) but i have friends who have been dating since they were in middle school, so wat age is too young to date? personally i just want to know a guy long before i date him but anyone's thoughts are apperciated!

I think that you can start dating in Middle School, but I think any younger than that is ridiculous. But, one of my friends little sister has been dating a little boy her age since 2nd grade, and right now she is in 4th grade. And what I find funny is that when my friends little sister started going out with that little boy, my friend started dating the little boys older brother...but they broke up in like a few months.

Hahaha, I don't know if that was suppose to have a somewhat pejorative connotation but it certainly was funny.

Back on topic...A. Don't go behind your parents back...its really pointless

and

B. What are you really going to get out of a relationship with a 14 year.You are going to have a kid poking around in areas where honestly you'd do a better job.

tha first 5 years of life are great then u go 2 school and bam go throught girls like a calender i like women sumtimes as friends but mostly as dates

the worst age in which to start daing is when you first become to get *****

My parents let me start dating when I was 12, but I was mature for my age and I actually stayed with the same guy for a year. A year to a 12 year old is a long time. lol Even when I got to be say 15 I never made it to another long term relationship til the one I'm in now. I think it has a lot to do with each kids maturity level, but still I wonder why all kids seem to think that they have to date. Like dating is going to be out of date by time they're 17 or 18.

personally, ive been dating since middle school. most of my friends have too. many people tell us we are "mature" for our age. but our parents and other people know we arent doing anything wrong, so they are all ok with it. so i geuss maybe talk to them about about going out in a group?

I think you should start dating when you can drive. It doesn't seem like a real fun time to go to the drive-in theaters with my date and his dad.

Honestly, age should not be the determining factor of when a child should start dating. It depends on how they act. If the kid is 14 and acts like they are 9...well, i think you should reconsider letting them leave the house alone let alone date. It really becomes a maturity factor.

seriously i wouldnt start dating untill i was 16 unless if someone really special came along. ive had my share of relationships and its more than enough.

LOL Regah

personally I dont' think you should start dating until you are 14/15 years old. I was allowed to go on my first day when I was 14, a month shy of my 15th b-day. I remember having "boyfriends" when I was younger than that, but now that I'm older and I look back at it, that's just rediculous.

i say no dating untill after your married.

i started dating when i was 12. i wish i could have waited until i was at least 14

It depends on what you consider dating. Usually in middle school and below dating is just being boyfriend and girlfriend in school and maybe seeing each other out of school. However, once you get to High School things become more serious, because just as Mr.Blue07 said, you can drive and are ready for more of the responsibilities that come with dating and a true relationship.

I started dating at 14, and that was, what I think of now as two young. I mean you don't have a car and I believe no one is truly ready for love and romance and dating and the hardships that may come until they know that they are ready.

sorry about my typos. i dont go back and check.

well my mom let me date in like elementary school, cause she was used to having teenage daughters. i think its about trust. or jsut being used to teenagers. my mom trusted me and she new if she didnt want me to date until i was 16 then i would lie and date anyways. thats my advice.
thanks, melissa
