my two are 13 and 14 going on to 15. They talk about different people they like at school but it changes every couple of months. I beleive they will fall in to the natural rhythm of social activities on their own. Some may take till they are 21 or older before they are ready to take dating seriously. Let them have fun and explore in their own time.

well i believe it depends on the charecter of ur kid. if she/he knows were to stop and what is right and wrong then it is ok.. i had a boyfriend at the age of 11... well that means he called me his girlfriend and i called him my boyfriend and we said i love you and stuff like that but it was not serious and we just did it cause its what we would see on tv. at this age nothing is serious so if your kid wants something at this age dont be afraid of it, there r very few kids that do serious things like sex and stuff at this age and you can understand if your kid is one of them.. beleive me! i have a family friend who's daughter is 9 years old and has a "boyfriend"... so i think that kind of realationship is natural. on tha other hand if the kid is mature and wants a boyfriend for something serious meaning they will love eachother and support eachother and so on then i think its ok from age 16 or 15... but then again nothing is serious at this age . all u have to do is make sure ur kid knows were to draw the line in the phisical part and what is ok for this age and the consiquences of his/her actions. you should not say no to your child in this matter or at least in its face as a straight answer.. it may then do it as rebellion which is the wrong reason plus if he/she really wants to they will just do it behind your back which is worse cause then you will have no idea and will not be able to give your child advise... i hope i answered ur question!

Well that depends on your definition of "boyfriend/girlfriend".
I don't think they should be allowed to date until 16. However, if they want to go out in a mixed (girl/boy) group or under the supervision of an adult, it depends on the maturity of the child in question.

I would say 14-16, although I have a 9 year old boy who I frequently tell "don't worry about girls, they'll always be there, do all the other stuff you want to do, then you can think about girls". LOL, we'll see how that works!! Despite that, I do think dating is important, how else can they figure out what they do and don't want in a mate?

16 is a good age, because most kids ae usually mature enough to be in a seroius relationship. Some kids do mature and are able to understand things at an earlier age, but if you do want them to date, I think that it should be like when your child can be supervised, so that nothing can happen without your knowledge. If they want to date at an age that you think is too young, tell him/her that it should be when you or the other kid's parent's are close at hand. (allowing them to be in the bedroom with closed doors is not a good idea either, if you don't want them to engage in sexual activity.)

My mom did not let me have a boyfriend until I was 16. But my real first boyfriend was when I was 15. I turned out OK!
