I think it is not the matter about the age.It is about when you can take responsibility of each other or it it the age when you can perform your promise

16

12 or 13.

Sooner the better. If you can date with maturity, start at any age you are comfortable with.

What is your definition of dating? At your age it’s normal to develop crushes on others and even to take the next step and go on “dates.” Definition of dates being, going to movies alone or in a group of friends. Some may even give each other the title of girlfriend or boyfriend and perhaps eat lunch together at school and show public displays of affection such as hand holding, hugging, kissing and etc. On the more innocent end of the spectrum, playful flirting is normal.

Personally, I think 7th grade is a bit young to start the physical interaction. However, 7th grade is not too young to realize you have crushes and maybe pursuing a closer friendship with the object of your affection.

By highschool some kids are mature enough to handle a real, meaningful relationship. Other kids just like the idea of having a bf or gf. Other kids seem to find affirmation and self-worth by being in a relationship and having someone ‘like/love’ them. Lots of people think that just because you like someone and they like you back, that’s a solid reason to start ‘dating’ or go into a serious relationship.

Unfortunately there is no hard and fast rule on the correct age to start dating. Hopefully you will be mature enough to wait and only go into a relationship for the good reason with a good person who is not only cute and smart, but kind and loving as well.

i say 17 cause that is when i started dating but i would not recommend it because i had no idea what the heck i was doing. it’s best to wait until you’re older.

When they can afford a home and theres so much more that goes with it.

Plus, if someone is going to date then that person should be the one that their going to spend the rest of their life with. If not then don’t date the person.

If by dating you mean serious boyfriend-girlfriend stuff then I say twenty-five. If you mean going out for fun then it will depend on how mature the kid is.

it could be anywhere 12+ depending on the guy/girl’s additude that’s what i think

I think 16 because you get to start driving then so if you can drive you can date.

The problem with kids starting to date so young is that they think they’re little adults when they’re not and end up having sex far too young which is not okay.
