Answer 1

why dose every buddy ask that Question NO!
if you can whach PG-13 and up movies why do you think you can't do all of that

Answer 2

I think it is- for one on one dating. Dating is for serious relationships which someone 13 years old is way too young to get involved in. Relationships are hard enough when you're an adult.

But it is definitely not too young to learn how to socialize. I don't know if you're the parent or the kid asking the question. But I know my parents made a big mistake by declaring absolutely no dating until I was 16- as I didn't learn any social skills and still have problems today as a result. Kids at 13 should go to parties and dances with others their age. Do things with "friends". It's hard to learn to socialize if you wait until you're older and everyone else is comfortable but you. That's when you tend to give up, think you're just too different, too dysfunctional.

Answer 3

I certainly think so, I do not allow my 13 year old to date until she is 16 and if she feels comfortable with it at that time if not till later. My 17 year old son has dated only once and he has preferred to concentrate on school and basketball (he plays varsity point guard) because he does not have the time to date with homework and practice, if he were to date this would be an acceptable age. He has many friends both boys and girls and he eats out with them or goes to games with them.

I say have fun , get to know people and figure out who YOU are.

My sister always tells my son, " girls are nothing but trouble " and she tells my daughter and her daughters , " boys are nothing but trouble " she has been saying this since my son was 11. I dont know if this has made a difference but in a way it is true.

Answer 4

Well I am now a grown successful women and I can truely say I started dating young. I was with one guy from my freshman year till about 1 year after I graduated high school. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOWEVER! You need time to be a kid and date around to find out what you want and to explore there is a lot out there! So keep your head straight in the books but go ahead and explore dating on the weekends or spare time! **IF YOUR PARENTS APPROVE**Don't lose trust with your parents or when you do start dating you won't be able to do anything! So be up front n honest with them and gain your trust n you'll be happier with more freedom!

Answer 5

It really depends on your maturity level.If you are real sweet,honest,reliable,and know how to accept responsibility and know how to say NO.Then I would consider you old enough as long as you choose guys that are the same.A date to the movie,bowling,skating,ball game,a carnival or anything like that would be appropriate for a 13 yr old.It would be up to you to make the right choice of appropriate places for a date.Also if you were my daughter,I would expect you to be responsible enough to be able to call home and say Mom or Dad,I am at a place I do not feel comftorable at or I feel unsafe,Will you come pick me up,and be able to do this before things get out of hand.Children your age sometimes have it in their minds that they can survive through anything and they are affraid to call parents for help,They feel that when they are in situations,If they can hold on just a little longer then they can get out of this situation themselve,but this is for your own safety.Sometimes this second of witing to call is too late.Remember these facts even if it is with someone you know well and trust.

Answer 6

13 isn't too early to start dating I think. As long as the dates are acceptable. And so is the behavior on the date. Just kissing, and going to a movie. Thats cute and fine. If the relationship goes too much further, then I don't think so.

Answer 7

yes I think it is to early. There is nothing wrong if you go out as a group but not one on one dating. You have other things to worry about right now why have the pressure of some guy trying to get you to have sex? You are to young to have a child and that could easily happen. there is no 100% birth control unless you do not have sex

Answer 8

Yes, it is. You can't really "date" at that age anyway without a chaparone to take you places. That is an age to learn about people, how to get to know them, how to treat them as people, how to be treated and what to say when you're unhappy with the way you're being treated. There are too many things you need to learn before you really start to date. This is an age where you should start doing that.

Answer 9

Speaking from a mother of a 12 year old daughter soon will be 13 I would say yes...You girls have your hold life ahead of you to think about boys and dating but then again call me old fashion but I think education should be who you are dating and thinking about. Looking out for your best interest at heart.

Answer 10

i remember when i was 13...i had all kinds of "boyfriends" but its all meaningless. around the age of 16 you start having REAL feelings for a person. right now it'd be stupid to date. just have fun with your friends. too many young kids are having sex at like 14. dont do it. i'm telling you from personal experience (im only 19) wait until u truely love someone.....wait a couple months after dating atleast. or better yet---wait unti you are married. i know what its like to be in a race w/ all your friends to get w/ someone like that. remember this!!!!!

Answer 11

In my opinion yes. I believe that the main focus in your life right now should be your education. I started dating at a very young age and regret it. I think I would be in a much better place in life now if I had focused on school rather than the girls.
