Vendetta answered Saturday October 8 2005, 6:16 pm: Although most girls (around here at least) start dating when they are eleven or so, I personally think thirteen is too young. Girls who date too young are predisposed to get taken advantage of at that time and generally turn out to be the whores of their high school. No one wants a reputation of being "easy". However, if you really want to date, just maturely talk to your parents about it. [ Vendetta's advice column | Ask Vendetta A Question ]
Chewshi answered Saturday October 8 2005, 5:59 pm: I'm 13 as well, and I don't believe I am allowed to date either. I like this guy alot and have the feeling that he likes me, but I respect my parent's opinion - my mother doesn't want me dating until I start high school and my dad hasn't mentioned anything about age, just how picky he may be about him. Be nice and understanding about this situation, and if you do get asked out, try to make it a double-date with a friend that your parents love, and they may loosen the knot a little. Let them know that you can trust them. Being eager makes them nervous about them letting you, they probably think you'll move to fast if you bring this up too much. Go somewhere that is totally public so they don't worry at all about 'being alone.' [ Chewshi's advice column | Ask Chewshi A Question ]
TRAGiCxWH0REx3 answered Saturday October 8 2005, 2:31 pm: Everyone has different beliefs. If you think you should be allowed to date, have a talk with your parents. Explain that you are responsible and you know what to do in uncomfortable situations. Tell them that you would really like to date. Do NOT argue though, because that will make them think you are childish. Good luck! [ TRAGiCxWH0REx3's advice column | Ask TRAGiCxWH0REx3 A Question ]

DancinCutie08 answered Saturday October 8 2005, 11:59 am: well i think its reasonable sorta. i mean your prob not going to find your true love at 13 but you should be aloud to just go out and chill with guys. if your parents wont let you i would recomend just hanging out with guys as friensd more and maybe they would allow you to date [ DancinCutie08's advice column | Ask DancinCutie08 A Question ]
mystical_breeze answered Saturday October 8 2005, 11:15 am: No, you're not too young (in my opinion). I think thirteen and fourteen are good ages to start dating. Even my mom said thirteen is a good age, and fourteen is a good time to get your first kiss. <3 [ mystical_breeze's advice column | Ask mystical_breeze A Question ]
eternitysofbliss answered Saturday October 8 2005, 11:10 am: yes, you are too young. how many teens get married? How many marrigages end in divorce. Times have changed, Its rare to see anyone marry there high school sweet heart anymore. If you gonna rate me bad for that then dont rate me. If your still not convinced that your young, how many bills do you pay; how do you get places. How do you get clothes. Respect your parents wishes because they usually know best.
I must tell you that most who look to date will not find the right person, the right person usually just comes into your life and you know it. Dateing at 13 isnt really all that good either. What will you do, go to a place(something like rollerskateing) and hug, maybe make out. Just go places with friends.
THe pyschilogical answer to why you feel the needs to date at 13 is that you want to be older and you feel thats what older people do. So the truth be told, you only want to act and be treated older. You can only be 13 once, act 13, 13 is such a great age, there are so few cares. just enjoy life. [ eternitysofbliss's advice column | Ask eternitysofbliss A Question ]

no that is not to young to date
rainbowcherrie answered Saturday October 8 2005, 10:47 am: I see where you're coming from here, 13 isn't too young to date really, but I guess it depends on who you are.
I had my first kiss when I was 11, going on 12, and I started dating people a little while after that. I started my first full on (meaning actual going out, kissing etc), long term relationship when I was 12 but most people begin dating when they're around 13 or 14.
You didn't actually ask for advice on how to be allowed to date but I'm guessing you want it anyway.
Try showing your parents (or whoever is responsible for you) that you are mature enough to be allowed to date people. Do what they ask you to, when you go out with friends, make sure you're back when they ask you to be. Once they see that you are old and mature enough to date, then try talking to them about it. Approach them when they're in a good mood and say something like "I might go and catch a movie with this guy from school at the weekend, would that be okay?"
RockStoleMySoul answered Saturday October 8 2005, 10:46 am: The question is not are you too young to date. The question is are you mature enough to date. No one can determine that but you. Dating isn't about holding hands and making out. It's about having a real relationship with a guy and being able to talk to him and be there for him, and vice versa. So unless you feel ready to make a commitment, then no, you aren't old enough for dating. [ RockStoleMySoul's advice column | Ask RockStoleMySoul A Question ]
sweetjewel answered Saturday October 8 2005, 10:45 am: why dont you just wait until the guy comes along.. why worry when there isnt a guy to ask you out. if there is a guy then they are pretty immature so you might be wasting your time [ sweetjewel's advice column | Ask sweetjewel A Question ]
