Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
First you need to think of a few things:
What does dating mean to your age? Will that mean you go out to a movie? Eat some pizza together at your house or his? Does it mean making out? Or does it just mean putting labels on each other as "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" and holding hands in the hallways at school? You need to know that.
Next, how do your parents feel about you dating? Talk to them. Get their feelings on if you're too young to date yet. Many times parents have a keen insight on things like this that you might not see yet. They might also be willing to help you have a nice time at you house with your soon-to-be boyfriend if they approve. Talk to them before making a decision.
Asking if someone wants to date you means:
"Would you like to get to know me better outside of our usual setting?"
Your usual setting is probably at school, right?
So, he's asking if you want to get to know him better when it doesn't relate to school. He might be interested in things like guitar and music or really into movies and skateboarding. Those are the things you learn about someone who you are dating sometimes. As the relationship progresses, you learn about more of their secrets and what really makes them who they are today, what they want in the future, and where their life is heading.
If you like him a little AND WANT TO GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER then it might be a good idea to date him for awhile, provided you have the discussion with your parents and are clear on what "dating" means to people your age. Your answer might be yes or it could be, "I'm sorry...I feel like we're just too young to be putting labels on each other like that right now. If you're really interested then ask me in a couple of years and maybe I'll give you a chance because you're a good person from what I know. I'd rather just focus on building healthy friendships right now."
Steps:
Clarify what dating means to 10 year olds.
Talk to your parents about dating.
Make a wise decision and let the boy know promptly.
