Starting at 16 yrs old is a good time to start dating. It is best to start with group dates and save paired off dates for later, once you are more serious about finding a spouse.

I am not a christian but I will answer this anyways. I am letting my daughter date at 16 years old. She is 15 now. I think a good age to date would be 18 actually now because you would be considered an adult and anything you did would be an adult decision. I am not saying going out and having sex or drinking or anything like that. I don't think you should be doing that anyways. I think that while you are in school you should be studying and having a good time with your friends. If you want to get to know someone better then there is always going out with a group of friends. Maybe it is because my daughter is almost 16 or maybe because I am old fashioned. I just think kids grow up way to fast now days and they need to take time to be a teen.

I think that depends on a persons level of maturity. If you are mature enough to handle yourself at 15, then that may be a good age. Also, it depends who you are going out with too. Is this person mature, respectful, and you know them? Are they Christian? The idea of group dating is good I think when first dating.
Rules of dating: Respect yourself and others will respect you. Never put yourself in a situation that you can't get out of if it turns dangerous. Know who you are dating; talk to them beforehand about important things to you...do you agree with their answers? If not, no date. Be friends first, no emotional attachments until you really get to know them well (which takes at least 18 months).

The answer lies within you. Are you ready to date now? Do you feel as though it is something you can handle emotionally? Then I say go for it. Talk it over with your parents and come to a decision mutually. Talk with the person you're interested in dating (if you have someone in mind). Trust your instincts.

Depends on what you call a "date". For a simple good ol fashioned healthy boy-girl relationship, any time is a ok. But for those looking for some serious romancing, usually it's best to wait until you're ready to marry.

hon,
I believe you can date when first of all your parents agree with it, you feel it is what God wants you to do. Probably preferably after highschool, most highschool dating relationships aren't worth the trouble, save time, you grow up fast enough why rush things.
I hope that helps you

whenever you are ready and whenever your parents allow it... most people this is between 13-18 years old. Personally, my parents didn't let me date until I was 16 and could drive myself; I also wasn't allowed to stay out past 9 on school nights.

When you feel responsible for your actions. That is the age.

Never, dating is of the devil.
Have your parents arrange a marriage for you.
(I'm super-serious.)
