If you are happy then stay in that relationship. But how can you be happy if you say you kinda wish you werent happy. But my first boyfriend was when i was in kindergarten. But the right time to actually "date" is when you feel really compforatable with guys/girls. If you think of them a lot and count down the days till you see a movie with him, you are ready, if it isnt a big deal having a b.f and dont really pay much attention about him then i would say you are not ready. But if you are happy, stay happy, and stay with this guy.

I dont think there is a "right time" to start dating. I think that if you FEEL like you are ready, than go for it. But if your not, just tell him your not ready. Good Luck

I know some people who started dating as young as 11, and I also know some people who didn't start dating until they were 17. It all just depends on how you feel. No one can make the decision for you, you have to decide for yourself. But you said you didn't really feel like you needed a bf, so I would suggest waiting until you know you are ready. You've got your whole life to date people!!.. well, atleast until you get married lol

I think you just kind of know when you are ready to date. If you ave any odubts about it, you probably arent. You probably feel this way because you maybe feel attached. This isnt a bad thing. Maybe you just need space.

Please rate high.

i know how you feel.. all my friends have boyfriends and i dont because i dont need one.. and you dont either. you feel more free when your single and its fun flirting.. theres no right time to start dating.. when u really like someone and you want to date them you date them.. but at 14 you should be open.. hope it helps

Well, I have a boyfriend and I am 14, its alright to date, but I feel its better to not, and save your heart until later, because its more painful when you're younger. But when you don't feel right about a relationship, it usually means you aren't ready, or something about that person you happen to be dating is doing something to make you feel weird. Just remember, you should do what your heart, well, I'd say mostly your mind tells you.

It depends on how you feel.
There is no right or wrong time. It doesn't say anywhere "You must start dating at 14" or "you must not date until you are 16"
If you feel ready and the guy you like feels ready then go for it.

Have fun!

FunnyCide answered Monday February 14 2005, 11:14 pm:
I don't think that there is a right time or a wrong time. It just depends on your maturity and sanity levels. (lol) If you're very mature and don't get hurt easily, and wont go crazy if you don't talk to someone everyday, then you might be ok in a relationship. It just depends. If your parents don't want you to be in a relationship, then I would say, "No way!" Because that's disobeying them, and disobedience doesn't make God happy with us at all. Personally, I don't need a boyfriend. Sure, there are times when it would be awesome, and I do like someone. But I am not going to die if I don't have a boyfriend. At fourteen, you probably don't need a boyfriend. It might just cause you to lower your standards and fall. (like, maybe even sleep with someone when you know that it's not right and that your parents wouldn't approve) You're only fourteen. You have all of your life (God willing) to live and have boyfriends. Don't waste yourself. Be sure not to get hurt! For you, talk to the boy you're dating. Ask him how he feels about ya'lls relationship, and why he's dating you. Ask him if he feels that it is important to have a girlfriend. Then, pray about it. Then, decide. Peer pressure is heavy at this point in age, but don't let your peers make a descision like this for you. Happy Valentines Day!

well i had my first boyfriend at 12. i felt i was ready for a relationship so i went for it. but if you are second guessing yourself then you mostlikely you shouldn't be in a relationship. just remember. that relationships are fine but they should be fun! if its not fun then its not working.

there isn't a right time to start dating, everyone is different. if you really don't feel you are ready for a relationship, don't force yourself to have one, because it won't be fun at all! just let him know how you feel, and he will understand you. just don't wait too long, because it'll be harder!

I think that the right age to date is when you feel like you are ready to...Just becasue you arent feeling him right now doesnt mean that its not the righ time for you. I think that you should let him know whats good and tell him that you guys could get together some other time... but not now cuz u jut have too much goin on. Hope I helped!

there is nothing wrong with dating at an early age..just be careful and take it slow. dont do anything you dont want to do and dont take it too seriously. dating early will only help you when you are older. it makes you wiser and stronger for the next time. have fun with this one but remember, you ARE young and need to have fun...so dont be afraid to hold off dating if you dont feel comfortable right now. hope i helped and please get back to me with anything you need. take care hun.

Dear Age,
There is no "right" age to start dating. I'd say its where you as an individual feel comfortable about the dating concept. If you want an age number, I'd go with 15 or 16 just because it seems to be a good starting point. Although it is your decision to make.
