what time do you think is right for your kid to have a girlfriend/boyfriend?
everyone's been saying 'get an education first' but hello? its not like we're gonna have sex and babies, it's just the fact of actually being close to someone who likes you more than a friend.
any comments? torture words? anything?

I would agree with FRANK R, talking about his daughter being wise enough to make her own choices, it depends on how you were raised.. If your parents taught you all about that when oyu were young you should know what to decide when that issue comes about... Great parents make wise people....great and wise parents .... Make wise and intelligent children who can decide or decifer what they should do...Most children are pressured into having sex.....MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION THOUGH..... if you want to save your self for after marrige for the one you LOVE then do it...IF you want to sleep around then more power to you but, you know what is right and wrong just make the right choice and don't listen to what your friends say about it....They usually are wrong if they tell you DO IT... JUST SAVE YOUR SELF for the right person....

Being a parent is not easy... but when you kids get older you will know when the right time is..i think a good time to start dating would be around the age of 17 most parents want their kids to finish school first but is you allow your kids to date and then you see that they are not spending enough time with school then that is when you put a stop to dating until they can manage dating and school.

I don't think you can put a number on it -- all kids are different and have different maturity levels. Example I have a 14 yr old boy and he wont be mature enough for a few more years. On the other hand, my 12 year old daughter is VERY mature for her age, so I would like think she could date in about 2 years (although her father says she cant date until she's in her 30's)

I think that it would be different for a girl. I don't want my daughter to have a boyfriend until she is about 15, but my son had a girlfriend when he was 12 and I didn't have a problem with it.

Uh, why would they care about a boyfriend/girlfriend that you don't even have sex with? They are nuts.
There are so many more important things to worry about with kids.
But, does it make you feel safe, the fact that they care SO much (too much)? Maybe that is good.

my youngest had a boyfriend but she only saw him at school she is 11 my middle son is 14 and he had a girlfriend that called all the time. as far as dating my oldest son is 16 and still hasn't went out on a date. It all depends on the child and how mature they are. My children are allowed to have a boyfriend or a girlfriend however the only one allowed to date is my oldest one. i have no problem with them calling my house but they are not allowed to go off with them.

My girlfriend has a four year old daughter and I treat her like my own so I say never but realistically a good age is 16 or 17.

my son is 14 1/2 and just finished his fresh year at hs. it depends upon what you consider a boyfriend to be. is it just someone to hang out with? i don't think that there is any real way to go out on a date with anyone at that age so "going out" is the old going steady. my son was "going out" with a girl for about 2 weeks. it doesn't last long. so as far as going out on dates? i wouldn't let my daughter (6yr at this time) go out with a boy on a date untill 15 i think, it might change later, but right now, that sounds good.

I believe that you can have the best of both worlds as long as education is first and that relationship is second.
