What is the best age to start dating?

16

It’s up to you, just make sure they are under 18 so you don’t ruin their lives, and be safe (sexually).

15 for meeting at a dance or social event, 16 for the boy to pick up the girl at her house.

I8!

Date when it feels right, and on your terms. Don’t feel obligated to do anything that makes you uncomfortable.

Dating as in going out on a date would be 16 in my book. Just hanging out with a guy or girl at 13 and 14 is ok for doing that.

It really depends on when your parents are going to be willing to let you actually go out on dates and when you are comfortable with it.

Whenever the right time comes. I’ve also been wondering of this same thing. I am 17 and never dated. It’s frustrating sometimes but if you are 13/14 I would say its a little too early so I suggest maybe waiting till 16 or so. There is no rush actually its good to be single because you get to d what ever you want and there isnt anyone nagging in your back.

It really depends on the kid. At thirteen or fourteen you can “date” but usually that amounts to hanging out together with your friends which I think is perfectly reasonable. One on one dating usually starts anywhere from 16 to 18 or even 19.

You can date as soon as you feel like. If you are up to it then it’s all good.

dating? nah, it is suppose to be starting at age 13 because it is for teenagers and it is their freedom because when they grow old more problems will come!

57 ½….......ish ;¬}

16 for going out, 15 for hanging out together.

16+. Nothing wrong with waiting until later. I see many young people make stupid decisions about college and life because they are influenced by the person they are dating in high school.

When you graduate from college.. oh wait, you’re not my kid are you?
before I can answer your question I have to know what exactly is your definition of “dating” at 13/14 years old?
I have a kid who’s 12 and she has friends who are “going out” with one another and I giggle, because they’re not really “going” anywhere, they’ve just pretty much professed to everyone that they really like eachother and they hold hands whenever there’s no adult present.

When you reach the point you can accept the consequences of unplanned/accidental pregnancy.

Well, 13/14 is like eighth grade, correct?
No one really “Dates” in middle school. It’s more like “You get to hold my hand for a week.” and “Sit next to me.”

As a father ” NEVER ”. as a man that pays attention, I would think it would depend on you and your date, maturity level, what are the intensions etc. My daughters both started at 16, but I had them bring the boyfriends to family gatherings to kind get to know them several times before going alone.

@Love_Story Lol I am just joking. When I read your response thats what came to mind. Regina… mean girls :)

I feel your pain.

Are you talking about actual dating or “hang out in the school hallway and hold hands” dating? Because for actual dating I’d say it depends on the person. Personally, I think you should wait a couple years for actual dating, but that’s just my opinion. For the other kind of dating, you could pretty much do that whenever.

what?

@danzmarvs I’m guessing you don’t like this question?

no, but actually I am just questioning what he said about those two types of dating!

Why don’t day make babies so that no more problems for dating (joke) :p I’m Not that one!

sorry suppose to be they not day ehheheheh
