minumum age 4 dating

[ichigo81195]

I'm curious what do u think the min. age 4 dating is! I'd say 14 even though i wouldn't mind dating.

[飛雲]

Around 15 is pretty okay, it really depends how mature the couples are.

[Lust]

hmmm it depend...i seen some ppl dating at age13-14

[5th of April]

13 is cute. 15 if you want maturity.

[Infinite]

I think 15-16 is a decent age, not when you are in middle school, though.

[Guy]

Lol, my parents set the standard for me.

Requirements: Must have obtained a PhD of some sort.
Must have some sort of high-income and high-class job. And lastly, when I myself feel that I am ready.

Currently, I have met none of the requirements, but I'm perfectly fine this way.

[Konpachi]

anywhere older than 13 should be fine...

[Lucki]

depends on the person really, how mature they are and what not. average maybe around 15/16 when they know what they want and wont get pressured.

[飛雲]

Thats all parents want for their children but by the time their daughter meet some guy like that, it would be at the late ages of 20 or 30

[Dreams]

What do you mean by dating? Is that equals a couple?

[Pie <3]

I didnt start asking girls out till I was 15.

So I would say like somewhere between 14-16

[Mikado]

I started when I was 8 o.O..
But wasn't sirious :P
14 if want something real.

[Lind Ni Britannia]

I started dating when i was 13.

but for the minimum age, about 14 above is good. older, preferably.

[Hatsune Miku]

Well it does depend on what you ppl mean by dating... the Bf/Gf thing is just a game to most people 8-15 ... sure its fun:winking56 but for anything resmbling a serious relationship i'd say 16+... that asparation for Mr.Millionaire is a joke thou.. you'll quite posible never find him... and ur only told things like that so you don't date and stress your father out... idk y but for some reason they're really curious as to who the boy is... who's his family.. and what not.. but thats a different topic

[Shezmu]

I think 15-16 if you mean a serious date, or just whenever you feel like dating

[Arei]

15/16 - I don't think middle schoolers should be allowed to date outside of a responsible adult's supervision, since they tend to make bad choices and **** up their lives more then high schoolars cuz they're more curious about sex and drugs and what not and most don't have enough knowledge or understanding of their actions when they go into (high schoolers are just as dumb really, but more of them have an understanding of sex and what they need to do to be safe, even though alot of them don't follow it =P

[Samanosuke]

15

[Dreams]

It should be arround 18-21, less means, no serious relationship.

[Arei]

^Good point Dreams

I'm 16 and I havent had a boyfriend yet :P I'm somewhat scared to date, knowing how I am i'm afraid of them expecting to much outta me (no sex no sex no sex >.<) or I really dont want a "casual" relationship, I dont want them messing around with other girls while dating me and being loose, and im afraid that there are gonna be people that hate me for not wanting them to mess around >.<

[Harley Quinn]

Should never be afraid of doing what you want to do, if people don't like how you feel about things then stuff em'.

[L'Arc Enzeru]

mmmm.... 14 i think, it's mature enough

[Momentum]

Lol, my parents set the standard for me.

Requirements: Must have obtained a PhD of some sort.
Must have some sort of high-income and high-class job. And lastly, when I myself feel that I am ready.

Currently, I have met none of the requirements, but I'm perfectly fine this way.

Same here, same here. xD lol...

At least 13 and just like everyone else 14-16 if you want it serious.

[Pie <3]

It should be arround 18-21, less means, no serious relationship.

Wtf are you smoking?
Your saying that 15-17 year olds can't have a mature relationship?
Thats bullshit.

[Artemis]

I reckon 14.
But i know people who go out when they're like 12...
and one couple that's been together since 12.

So technically, 12 is pretty much the youngest i reckon is worth the bother. Younger than that, then it's more of a way to fake how mature you are to people. Which is pretty idiotic.

But ultimately its a case to case thing, depending on mental age and puberty and such. If you're serious and other factors like that. No point if you're just bullshitting around.

And with that I say Adieu.
(btw, this so happens to be my 200th official post. Not including non-counted posts. duh.)

[Hannah]

i have s sister, age 18 and i dont want her to go on dating
hah for me, it should be after college LOL

[Twinky]

personaly after you get into high school, more like at the end of freshmen year, when you actually get more mature. or at least when you get a lisence so you can drive your date out.

think about it, how does it feel if your mom is sitting behind you, while your driving your date to the movie theater, LOL exactly.

[e:bil reira]

14-15 coz this is when people are getting more mature and the time where most people start to get a part time job in australia (well in my school anywayz) and this is also when they actually have money to go out. Plus any younger- the relationship will probably be over in like two weeks...unless its a special case.

[Nicole]

I'd have to 13-14 for gaining experience. 16-17 for anything more serious.

[Fearful Shino]

funny hearing that from you reira... *my friend from school*

i did have a friend who went out at the age of 12.. dumped her boyfriend in a matter of months... then dumped another in around 1-2 months..
then moved on.

well, i reckon during the uni age? cause that's when you have the free time, and the cute thing about each other teaching eachother. so.. 17--- 21 yeah.

[e:bil reira]

kia...=.=
we're talking about sammi wong right?
she's a special case...i guess.
uni age would be pretty cute...but it just depends on the person.

[Fearful Shino]

yeah. i guess so, due to the reason of your culture, your world view, your up bringing, so there is really, no min. age for dating.

@reira: duh. weren't we talking about her today?

[e:bil reira]

kia:wasn't really paying attention today and i kinda forgot being hyped up on my meds. ^.^

u know u also forgot interests, hobbies etc.

[Miss M]

15... if ya wanna have a mature one... :3
any younger than that is prolly called "puppy love"
well... it depends on how mature they are... :3

[+]-[+POPS+]

15 / 16 seems to be a decent starting point but not to get serious for a couple of years.

[Reenee_2340]

i wudd say when u start high skool around 14-18 yrs old cuz ur older n more mature n wont do anythin stupid......

[shaberry]

Lol, my parents set the standard for me.

LOL...nice! You just gave me an idea for my kids...lol...when I have them. But personally...I think dating is ok at 16-17...originally I'd say what Sacae's parents said...but I'm being a bit optimistic.

[Dreams]

Damn, are you guys nuts? 13 years old, and dating? With what money!??!

[shaberry]

Damn, are you guys nuts? 13 years old, and dating? With what money!??!

Hahahaha...yeah...lol..."Hey mom...can I get $50 for my date this afternoon?" LAWL

[Pie <3]

50$ is nothing....


And should money be the reason to hold you back from love? Bullshit.

Although I personally do not think 13 year olds can have a proper mature relationship.

[Reenee_2340]

^ pie<3 arent u a balla??? lmao j/k

[Tyekanik]

to me dating always denoted not having to have others drive you. Highschool also seemed to do its best to suck the seriousness out of life itself, that included dating.

Post graduation, there's being serious in private with your 'true love' and then theres the serious that people close and not close alike to you can recognize and appreciate.

[..::Mr 999::..]

if in my country you can dating in 14 years old but in another country i don`t know......????

[Guy]

LOL...nice! You just gave me an idea for my kids...lol...when I have them. But personally...I think dating is ok at 16-17...originally I'd say what Sacae's parents said...but I'm being a bit optimistic.

Lol, thanks. At first, I thought it was a bit too harsh, since everyone seems to start dating in high school, but what they said did make sense, now that I think about it.

PhD part: usually, romance can really screw up your education life. My uncle once fell in love when he entered college; he almost didn't get his bachelor's degree when he broke up with her! Thankfull, all of my family members were on his back, so he snapped out of it and he has a PhD in some form of engineering.

Money part: Absolutely crucial. I have no idea how you can start dating without money. Most romantic getaways cost a fortune.

"Waiting until you're ready part": self explanatory.

[boredomlover93]

i know some people who started when theyw ere like grade 5? 6? really young age thats what i remember

[shaberry]

Yeah...now that I'm older...I really don't see a point in dating when you're younger. Saves you from unnecessary drama. -.-;;; Iono...that's just me though. Aside from that...I'd rather be focusing on school so I can graduate and be rolling in dough later :redbiggri I'd rather be rich and single...than broke and in a relationship.

[Guy]

Romance in high school is definitely overrated. It is pretty much guaranteed that you'll break up because you two will go to two different colleges. I mean, if that were the case, why would you want to date in high school in the first place? To waste money? To waste time? Or just to know what it's like to have a heartache?

[..::Mr 999::..]

dating when Junior high school always there a law but some people in my country do it..

[Hathore]

umm i would have to say 14 for both boy adn girl

[Neko Rae]

I guess it depends on the person. But I think 13-15 year olds are too young to really date

I don't think I will try dating until I'm done with college. So probably not until I'm 20

[raindrops028]

15...

[Achilles]

13 would be suitable.

[Tobi]

I think, 14-15. Depends on how mature the persons are.

[raindrops028]

Some people do it beacause they just wanna have fun......Maybe you guys may think that way because you have to treat your gf everytime you go out etc...etc..etc...

[SoundWave]

I'd say 15+..

[Unrefined-Nemesis]

As long both parties are both mature enough to handle the pain and hardships together.

For me the appropriate to be having relationships are during your teenager years, let your hormones run and enjoy these years well as they are the shortest of them all.

[shaberry]

For my kids...they can start dating when they can pay for their own dates *grin*

[Ryuzaki]

For my kids...they can start dating when they can pay for their own dates *grin*

lol, that's a good one!:redbiggri

I'd say 16+ would be the minumum age, if that was my kid.

[momo-taichou]

16 is when Im allowed to date.
for me: i change my mind... but people i think can start at 15

[Neko Rae]

I think that 13 is way to young for dating. I would wait until I'm at least 16

[Kray]

So, working with a summer camp of 13-16 year olds, I can definitely say that's when it all starts.
Every day there's a new couple, and every day there's breakups.
Fights about the breakups, and new couples.

It's a never ending, vicious, cycle.

And I just sit back at watch the teenagers go at it.
Hahaha.

[*<Grove>*]

But some 13 year olds don't know the true meaning of daiting and love.......they just do it for to look more mature I guess.

[Geb]

And I just sit back at watch the teenagers go at it.
Hahaha.
you sadist! :P


hm, cca 14-16 (?)

[Velham]

I've seen people date when they were at the age of 13, i think the minimum is around 14 or 15.

[Tōshirō]

Age is nothing but a number. If two people love eachother, then they shouldn't care if they have to be a certain age.

-Hitsugaya

[momo-taichou]

@Toshiro thats really cute! i agree =]

[Sliferhaven]

It seems that many people are saying 15-16, or 14, but I agree with Toshiro. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Mainly because younger humans probably can't handle a REAL relationship. To me, there are two types of relationships: one is for status, the other is for love.

[Isis]

I would say 14 should be the minimum age but it also depends on what you're parents say and from what cultural background you come from. Which country you're from sets that too.

In my country, a lot of young people date but there are still a lot of people who frown upon it if you're not 16 or older. As for me, my parents have said that they won't allow me to date till I'm 18. Well, I've sorta broken that seeing that I have been on dates and kissed and all that but havent actually had a real boyfriend yet. That can wait till I finish HS lol.

[relph]

i think its up to u and ur 'rents to decide together wen ur ready to date

[SLVR]

serious dating 16-17. Here it is the legal age you can drop out of skool and suport your self so the same can be saaid about a relationship I feel

[DatLatina!]

Well even though I'm 13 I think the serious dating starts at 16 or 17 not like 9 or 10. That's jsut bs relationship

[relph]

right on sis fight the power!
hehe i do agree

[Kamy]

dude i don't even like girls when i was 12(i'm not gay) so just forget about dating at that age, so i think around 15-16 is appropiate.

[DatLatina!]

But it aslo depends on the couple too....If they think their ready at 14 or 15 then they are but if not then not there is no need to have a serious relationship when your young

[II Xion II]

I say you can date in your mid-teens or so.

But that depends on what you mean by dating. If it is something more, maybe you should wait until you are at least 18, if you know what I mean. ;)

[Christian Lub]

i think it should be 13 casue your a teen now and its tyme to start growing p and fixing your life

[wakalaka]

[motoki]

I personally don't think people who are around the age of 15 and below should be dating seriously anyway...that starts at around 16 or so...
but i've seen 12 year olds hold hands and kiss, and in my head i scream 'Why are you dating...what can you do?' and to think of them having sex is nasty because its child porn to me...but of course there are 13 year olds who get pregnant...which is another reason they shouldnt date

for me personally, i say my minimum age to date someone is around 23 or so.
but in general..i say 16

[Neko Bam]

I'd say around 20, then they are mature enough to decide for themselves, and not make stupid mistakes like getting pregnant or whoring themselves out and such

[Evil_Mirai]

I'm for maturity too... I guess I'd say 16, however 18 would be even better lol Well... I find it so ridiculous when I see a 14 year old girl expecting something more serious from her 14 year old boyfriend [sometimes even 12 year olds...]. That's really not the age to have a serious relationship, but they're even too young to realize that.

[Vivi_Hino]

Well...to be honest, i don't think there is a minumum age for dating, because i know people who were dating since 1st grade. >.< I find it hard to believe myself.

[raimanu]

i don't think there has to be a minimum age impose.
everybody is different, people mature differently.
so some are ready to start a relationship faster than others.
it's especially true for girls, since most of them date a guy usually a couple years older than her.
the boys her age are usually still too involved in video games...
there's nothing wrong with this of course, boys mature slower than girls it's a fact. though, some boys due to a diversity of situation grow up faster....
so it's really a personal decision to decide whether you're ready or not to start dating.

[Miss Murder]

14-15 years if you want a serious date.

[Princess Tofu]

Well...to be honest, i don't think there is a minumum age for dating, because i know people who were dating since 1st grade. >.< I find it hard to believe myself.

yup . u_u

[obvious troll]

there's no such thing as a minimum age for dating, different people achieve different maturity levels at different ages.
the way I see it, if you're mature enough to know that sticking your ponos into someone's vagoo can get you in a lot of trouble, you're old enough to date.

^^
it feels as if i'm reading my previous post.
shorter, more direct, i like your version better than mine... ;)
and i agree with you.

[ishi-chan]

15 is a decent age.

But if they're searching for love and such, 17 or 18 is the age. I doubt people any younger will know what real love is.

[M I Z U]

13 sounds about right.

You're in the 7th or 8th grade, almost going to High school.

and about the time girls become girls and not just schoolmates with long hair.

You're bound to be attracted and have a crush on a girl.

If it doesn't work out, break up before high school, and then start anew.

[Shaftronics]

Dating in my opinion is getting to know a person of the opposite sex better in a personal way, which might evolve in a very fruitful friendship. It is natural for someone in a relationship to have a best friend of the opposite sex to confide in if he or she has problems with his or her current spouse. Its only natural to have an "advice giver" to know the other side of things.

But yes, experimenting in life is very normal. People get along and break off.

But if commitment is what you're looking for, no younger than 16 or so.

[Kenji]

It could be as soon as 7 years of age since in some cultures couples are engaged from birth, if any of you have seen/read, Shaman King Yoh and Anna are a good example of this.

But for me it's 18-21, I'm not up for a date that will leave me dating a new person every 2 weeks, I want someone committed to me.

[StormsFury]

I think 16 is a good starting point but there are exceptions

[micky]

I think that if the couple wants a serious relationship, and not the kind you get in, like, middle schoool, 15-16 is a good age.

[Aristocrat]

age aint nuthing but a number~

hmm
i would say
14 or 15

if they are mature...13

i dunno..depends on the person

[Sushi]

my sister (12) says she has a "Boyfriend" but they don't "do" anything. AT that age it's just a public declaration that you like this person and they like you back.

A good age to begin dating would probably be 14-15 (freshman in High School) if you want a serious relationship, not just a declaration of affections.
