depends on the person and the person’s family, just don’t rush it sometimes when your young and in a relationship it’s more drama than fun.

Don’t decide, oh, I’m 16, so that’s a good age to start dating, and then go out with whoever will have you. I think it’s better to just go with the flow, and if you meet a guy who you like, and who likes you back, then go for it. Keep it casual at first though. Dating at age 12 is a lot different than dating at age 18. If you’re that young, I’d say talk to your parents about it, but don’t ask their permission. If you like someone you can’t just turn off your feelings because your parents say you are too young. But don’t do anything that will get you in trouble. And don’t go looking for a boyfriend just because everyone else has one. But also, don’t sit at home moping about it. Go out, hang with friends, and eventually you’ll meet a guy who will want to go out with you, even if you have to wait a long time. Good luck.

I think when you are ready …you can feel it. I’m more for dating at a later age so that you are prepared and knowlegeable of heartaches, love, breakups and responsibility. I think part of being young is enjoying being single and happy, so that when one day you are attached, you will have enjoyed learning about yourself and what you want!

“The Talk” begins the first time your child asks, “Where did I come from?” Based on age you give the appropriate response.

Example: To a five year old you would say, “You came from Heaven, and to get you down here on Earth with us, God put you in my belly. Then Daddy and I went to the hospital when God told us it was time and a doctor took you out of my belly.” In that scenario you did not lie, but it was the kind of truth a child could understand.

Children should be allowed to date in groups at 12-13 years old. If its not a school night and there homework is done and they are making reasonable grades.

One on One dating should begin at 15-16 years old. About the same time they would be getting a drivers license. Consider it a right of passage.
