personally i would say like 16...because then you can drive and you dont have to have your parents drive you on your date.

nowadays there is rly no age limit because if you tell your kids they can date at a certain age they can still do it out of your control so i started to date around 13-14 even though my parents told me i could start at 16 i just ignored them and contiued to go out with him.....i think you should go with your heart and go out with someone who you truly feel is worth your time and a good boyfirend
<3 hope that helps

I have a five-year-old daughter. I plan on allowing her to date at sixteen. Until then, she will be permitted to go out with groups of friends, but not one-on-one with a boy.

And yes, I'm terrified of that day.

i think it all depends on the person. I think once you enter highschool is when you can start dating but no serious relationships or like anything beyond kissing till atleast 16 .

in my opinion the year that people starting "going out" was when they were 13. but all they really did was say they were going out, and then just hang out with a group of friends. i think the age that it is good to actually start "dating" like one-on-one is 16, once both of the people can drive. but that is just my opinion.

MelLeDisko answered Wednesday August 30 2006, 12:45 pm:
Well, I guess being able to date is also based off of maturity and all, but I say around 16 is a good time to date. It's just old enough to drive, so you wouldn't have to have your parents escort you everywhere, and it's a good older age and more responsible age where you're more aware of sex, condoms, etc.


But, if you're younger than 16, then show your parents how mature and responsible you are. And talk to them about it, and ask them when they feel it's appropriate for you to start dating. And if they say an older age, just be like,"I understand, but do you think if I was allowed to go on a group date to the movies, could I go?" Because then your parents will at least know where you are, who you're with, and that you and the guy aren't off alone somewhere.

I hope I helped. <3

thelaura answered Wednesday August 30 2006, 11:48 am:
I, personally feel 16 is a good age to start dating properly, as by this age, you've either learnt about/or learning the ins and outs and everything you need to know. Which also wouldn't involve being pressured into doing anything you wouldn't want to.
But it all really depends on how mature the person is. and whether their parents can trust them!

naturally_sadie answered Wednesday August 30 2006, 11:13 am:
It depends how mature the person is. I started dating at 10 (yeah I know pretty young) but I didn't really go on dates and we didn't really call it "going out" and if we went somewhere are parents came so it wasn't actual dating. I think the best time would be when your parents feel its right for you because if they don't want you dating and you date anyway they ALWAYS find out and its a hassle to gain their trust back. Also don't start dating until you're allowed to go to the movies and mall by yourself because if your parents are there watching you on your date, its NOT fun.

I hope that helped!

When you don't need your parents to drive to wherever your going. That goes for both men and women. I think kids are gettting too involved with the opposite sex far too early and there is simply no logical reason for a thirteen year old to be going on private one-on-one dates. Hanging out with a group of friends is fine though.

lostinpraise answered Wednesday August 30 2006, 7:19 am:
'Dating' changes a lot with age and maturity.
For instance, when you're about 12, some people start hanging out more with guy, maybe to start off with in a group but then pairing off a bit more, but nothing serious, and as you get older, it becomes more about individual relationships rather than groups of friends, and older still, more serious relationships. So whatever you're view of dating is at the moment, go with whatever you and the guy you like are ready for. There's not set age because you change so much at different ages, just make sure you're comfortable with everything, that you're not doing anything in secret from your friends or parents, and make sure you have support from them too. Have fun, God bless!

Whenever you find someone who you like, and likes you back. Just dont rush yourself, and dont do anything you dont wanna do.

You should probably wait til your parents are cool with it too, because its a hassle trying to keep up with all the lies you would have to tell them.
