Let them decide because only they will know when they're ready to find out what reality holds, just keep it under control if they're really young and they should be okay.

ICE11BLUE answered Saturday October 23 2004, 9:05 pm:
Honestly, your child will clue you in when he or she is ready. As far as what they DO, just keep your child educated and aware of safety, and the stuff that goes with sex ed, because they are gonna do what they're gonna do when they are ready, believe me. Just be there for your child and forbid nothing unless it is life threatening.

Well, when I had my first boyfriend I was 11 and he was 14. Yes it was quite weird. I knew I was way too young to be dating. Girls and guys are just dating younger and younger these days. I know 4th grade girls that are already making out with their boyfriends. I'm 14 right now and I've been with my boyfriend for 5 months. When I ever have a son or a daughter I'd let them date around 13. They're kids, you have to let them experience things for themselves. You just really need to make sure things don't get too serious. There are even as young as 12 year olds getting pregnant these days. Hope this helped.

paradiei3abii3x answered Saturday October 23 2004, 6:58 pm:
I would let them do what they want so that they could learn a lesson about everything that goes wrong. Otherwise, around 13 ii would let them start dating, and not really go all the way, but do mostly anything. Well, hope ii helped.

PuReLuVeR143 answered Saturday October 23 2004, 5:39 pm:
Hi, Im 17/f and I when I was 15 my mom let me date some1 who was 17..Little did I know what guys at that age expected from me..It really depends on how mature your child is, etc, but parents don't realy know they kids at that personal level because there as SOOO many personal things you need to know about a person to see how mature they are, and your child probably doesnt want to talk to you about those personal things...Nowa days, 14-17 yr olds dont get to the movies when they date, they go to parties, drink, smoke, etc..Sorry, but Im just being honest. Sooo many parents are oblivious to this and when theyre kids say, "we are going to the movies Ill be home around 11!"..or if they say "we are going to the movies and then Im sleeping over Sarahs house." that will probably mean they arent going to the movies, but somewhere else liek a party or something..BUT this defintly DOESNT apply to all kids, TRUST ME..Alota of kids also really do goto the movies, mall, etc because they arent really into partying etc..Also nowadays, 13/14/15 yr olds are out having sex. So, if I were you, I would let your child start dating around 15 and I would meet the boy/girl and have them come over the house so they can watch movies, etc, also let her/him go out to the movies but MAKE SURE he/she is home around 11.... Yes, i am 17 yrs old, and i would HATE IT if my mom were taking the advice Im giving you right now, but Im a smart mature 17 yr old who doesnt go out and party, lie, smoke, drink, etc..But there are ALOTA kids out there who are like that and you may be 100% sure your child isnt like that...all im saying is DONT BE BLIND and naive and always expect the worst when your child goes out, because these days, teens are going wild...

Ask_me_a_question answered Saturday October 23 2004, 5:29 pm:
I say 12-14, somewhere in there. Take them to the movies, local hangouts, etc.
but hey, it's up to you i guess. But if you make it really late, chances are your kids will rebel and go out anyway. Just a bit of advice (hey, thats what this is for, right?)
hope i helped :-D

xokaylanicoleox answered Saturday October 23 2004, 5:02 pm:
I think, 8th grade, then everyone is going out to the movies and things with other people and it's lots of fun. You should let him/her have him/her over at your house and just hang out maybe watch some movies. But, DON'T watch the movie with them, give them some time alone. But umm, let them go to the movies and if you dont feel comfortable with him/her going on a date there or something then let them go as a group date. That's cool too, don't be too protective! It's very annoying. Hope I helped! -Kayla

IF I had a child..I'd say around 13/14..but I'd like to meet the guy/girl. At first I'd say kissing, holding hands,& hugging. But when they get older I'd be easier on them.

ElementaryHustler answered Saturday October 23 2004, 4:48 pm:
I wouldn't set a age limit, if it's too young then it's just that puppy love it's not like they will rush into things like sex at the age of 10. And to be completely honest, you can't control what the kid can do with him/her because if they are going to do something they are going to do something, there's no way of stopping them. There is soo many ways around it.

live2rock answered Saturday October 23 2004, 4:46 pm:
I think it depends on how mature the person is but in general about age 13. Although i wouldn't let them do much more than kiss until about 14/15.

Well, I am only 14, but, my dad said that I can have a boyfriend, but I just can't like go to the movies with him and stuff, which is okay with me, but if your child is responsible then i think that 16 is good and let them kiss once in a while, just no touchy feely stuff, that all.

liddylflirtx3 answered Saturday October 23 2004, 4:19 pm:
I think I'd let my child start dating whenever he/she felt really seriously ready. Probably around 7th or 8th grade would be appropriate. I would have to approve of the boyfriend/girlfriend and I don't think they would "do" anything at first. Hopefully after dating awhile - then they would kiss or something! Hehe =)

MyPainIsReal answered Saturday October 23 2004, 4:19 pm:
Well I as a kid would like to date and go places with my boyfriend but parents don't like that so I would say when they are 13 and 14 they need to go on dates in groups. With more than one couple and just hang out. Or if one of them has a older sibling they could take them somewhere and supervise instead of the parent having to go and be embarassing. At ages 13 and 14 I'd say they could hold hands and hug and a kiss every now and then but nothing too serious. No sexual interactions with each other such as sex. For serious dating I'd say 16, 15 minimum. At that age they can handle dating alone without a parent. I wouldn't want my child having sex but if they wanted to, I'd ask them to come to me first and such. So that is what i say about it.

Like someone else said, group dating would be ok when your 13 or 14. But I'm letting my kid go out with peopel at 16, and I'm going to have to know everything about the person their dating. because kids these days are sleeping with everyone, it'll be worse when I'm married and have kids!

FrEe2bMe answered Saturday October 23 2004, 4:03 pm:
Well, I think like group "dating" or rather "group hanging out" is okay when you are like 13 or 14. Like if a bunch of guys and girls go to the movies together. But like actual dating with like the guy driving the girl somewhere i think it's best to be 15 or 16 at least. I would let them go to like dinner, movies, party, football games, shopping, park, anything really as long as you trust them and are aware of who they are with, where they are going, what time they will be home, and what they are doing. It's really a trust and maturity thing for most parents. If they think you can handle it, they'll let you. :)
