when should i look into a boyfriend? i'm 11 now, and i think i'm way too young. whenever i have sex, it will be when i'm married. i will not ever use a condom, because it's against the catholic religion, which i am. so i'll have two kids at the most (maybe). and i will definately be having one child. when should i have a bf? i don't want to go throuhg a break up...should it be when i am old enough to get married, just in casE?
Additional info, added Friday July 16 2004, 4:31 pm: mostly a lot of people that have answered my question have the wrong idea. i will never have sex for pleasure, only for children. i will also never have sex until i'm married. it's just the smart thing. ok? so just answer like what is the best time to have a bf. and one girl thought there was a rule for catholic religion, "no condoms." well, no. god made sex for people to multiply, not for pleasure! ok well anyway....

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life? only_the_best answered Friday July 16 2004, 7:31 pm: i dont think you are ever too young for a boyfriend, as long as YOU CAN HANDLE one, which comes along with a breakup, you are NEVER going to have a relationship like coery and tapanga, there is a VERY slim chance, so just be prepared, because you WILL get over it. it just may take some time, and i think you should go against the hole religion thing and use a condom, so you dont get like an STD OR pregnant.
katie315 answered Friday July 16 2004, 7:09 pm: i think that u should be looking into a bf when u get about 12 or 13 usually that is when ppl have there first bf but really it doesnt matter. its whenever the time is rite.

Siren_Cytherea answered Friday July 16 2004, 6:03 pm: You do realize you don't have to have sex the first time you have a boyfriend, right?
Just checking...
There's no "best time" to have a boyfriend. It's whenever you are ready. You can wait 'til you're old enough to get married, but you might not find the right one straight away. That's very, very rare. Like, disgustingly rare. Don't count on finding your true love on your first try, okie?
I hope I helped a little!

Derfel answered Friday July 16 2004, 4:52 pm: Oh Dear me, you poor deluded catholic idiot! - unfortunately you've been brain washed by the crack pot fools from the roman catholic church, haven't you? I'm not going to waste my time lecturing you and telling you how you belong to the most corrupt organisation in the history of civilisation. Have a nice life, oh no sorry Catholics aren't allowed to enjoy them self's are they? It don't surprise me you need help with a simple question like this, being a catholic you won't be used to making your own decisions. I'd better stop now before I go on all day. Dear god, I do hope you see sense.
Derfel
PS - I was baptised catholic and had an RC education and as a result of that formed my opinion of the catholic church so DON'T DARE tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. [ Derfel's advice column | Ask Derfel A Question ]
HollyAnn2282 answered Friday July 16 2004, 4:52 pm: Well I dont think there is a to young of an age, i had these teachers that dated all threw middle school high school and are married now with two kids. So you'll never know when you'll meet the right person. Everyone has break ups it happens all the time, but it just builds your knowledge on relationships. Good luck with this

queenbianca2004 answered Friday July 16 2004, 4:40 pm: Well having a bf is not a big deal at your age. You soungd very sure about your life. You can get a bf whenever it comes I am 14 and still single. It doesnt matter what age you are it just happens.
springchick answered Friday July 16 2004, 4:38 pm: yeah i hate it when people tell u about sex when that's not even what you're talking about. it's like really really stupid. and also, get a bf when ever u really life a guy. i think the rest, u can handle, totally!!!
Mackenzie answered Friday July 16 2004, 4:38 pm: You seem very mature for your age; that's becoming harder and harder to find these days. =D Because of this, I think only YOU know when you're capable of holding a relationship. It's just a personal preference usually. Although, most kids start to get into relationships around 13 or 14. But at 14, if you don't feel you're ready or don't see it necessary to be involved with someone, that's fine. You're your own person, and you need to do your own things. Never worrie about what someone else may think or say; all you need to be concerned with is your own well being. And just because you may be involved in a relationship DOES NOT mean you two have to have sex. If he thinks sex is expected, and you're against it at the time, you need to definitely tell him, and be firm about it!! If he fails to understand your reasoning, then that is a hint that the relationship needs to come to an end. Also, yeah.. no one likes break ups. Heartache sucks, and it's very unpleasent for all. However, most people learn by trial and error. You can't shy away from relationships because you fear getting your heartbroken by some jerk, because that would be passing up many many many valuable learning experiences. Again, only YOU know when you're ready. Goodluck, and take care! =D [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
chaos answered Friday July 16 2004, 4:33 pm: Unfortunately break ups are a necessary part of the learning process. You will know when you are ready for a boyfriend. I didn't have one until I was 16. It is a good thing to wait to have sex until you are married; just be careful out there because there are lots of wolves. My boyfriend has waited, and I think its really exciting.
Good luck and I would discuss getting a boyfriend with your mom because she can be your best friend.*******************************************
I do think God gave us sex for pleasure and multiplying, but only in the presence of marriage and eternal love. If you have sex before marriage, you are unnecessarily attached to that individual and have a hard time separating that image and feeling from yourself to make room for the person you really love.
Granted, our first goal is to be fruitful and multiply so that we spread the good news across the earth. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]
bAhAmAmA0250 answered Friday July 16 2004, 4:28 pm: start around 13 but its never to early or late. Well if your married you could use a condom.. thats not against the religion they just want you to wait to have sex. But you can't plan your life out like that because things happan but yes you can set your boundaries but for the kids what if you end up with 1 kid the first time and triplets the next? But you need to date alot of diff. kind of guys to get to know what kind of guy you want and you will seem retarted if you dont date until around college dont you think? But being your only 11 its not that big of a deal to have a bf right now... your still young and every guy around your age is just like a bro to u more then just a crush but maybe its possible at your age i know but im catholic to and i know whats right and whats wrong and im still a virgin and if im married i may have the guy use a condom.. you may not want a baby right away in the marrage-trix [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]
XXLoserKidXX answered Friday July 16 2004, 4:27 pm: Hi,
I think if you don't feel cofertable with it now to wait at least until you can drive. That's a big decision for an 11 year old to make about the sex thing though. DOn't let the other girls who have boyfriends make you feel like you need one. No one needs to wait until their married for a boyfriend so do it when ever you personally feel ready.-Elektra [ XXLoserKidXX's advice column | Ask XXLoserKidXX A Question ]
kelli7956 answered Friday July 16 2004, 4:25 pm: It would be pretty hard to wait that long to have a bf. Maybe you can have one just not that serious untill your older.But i think you can have a bf when ever you want just dont get to in to it.(rate me) **Kelli** [ kelli7956's advice column | Ask kelli7956 A Question ]
GC_rox_my_sox answered Friday July 16 2004, 4:25 pm: I think that if you want to find your life partner, then you should wait until you are 18. But my advice to you is, date around a bit. Maybe start going out with boys when you are 13 or 14. I'm not saying have sex with them, but if you commit yourself to one person, how will you know they are right for you?

KateStar1011 answered Friday July 16 2004, 4:22 pm: I think you should look into a bf all the time. Just make sure you know which one will be a good, loyal and honest one. Maybe you won't have to go through a break up! :) Even though, we all do. Good luck girl! Oh..GOOD GOOD moral you have as well. For a 11 year old.

united_python_cheerleader answered Friday July 16 2004, 4:20 pm: You should go out with someone whenever you feel like you REALLY LOVE THEM

XoKaThArInA~eLaInExO answered Friday July 16 2004, 4:19 pm: i think you should start maybe in your freshman or sophmore year of highschool..bcuz you never know when youll be ready to get married and you have to "shop around" and play the feild..youll probably start dating in highschool anyways bcuz youll see all the other couples and maybe find a guy you like..but dont let anyone pressure you to do anything or go against your religion if youre truly dedicated.
