It's hard to convince your parents that you want to date. It took me a while, so I'll tell you what I did.
I talked to my mom, calmy at the dinner table with no one else listening. "Mom, I'm 15 years old...I'm getting older and plus I'm into guys. Is it oaky I date, but not like into a deep deep date. Just like hanging out at each other's houses and movies and malls, but nothing actually serious."
You have to convince her that you will not have sex because many mother's fear that. Tell her that you will not kiss him until you are older. Just try to convince her even though you might have to suffer a little like the kissing part.

Wait till you find someone you like. When you have found the person, and perhaps he will ask you out... tell your parents that there is a nice boy you meet, and you would like to get to know him... then say that he asked you out on friday night to go to (insert what you plan on doing)... and only say this if you have planned something for friday. This way you are being upfront, and by saying you want to get to know him... it makes you seem like your not going to rush into anything. They might want to meet the person who you might date. Pick your moment.

If you are under 18, and your parents have a great marriage, ask them at what age they started. Just go by the good examples..

If you are not old enough to talk to your parents about dating then you are not old enough to date.
simply sit down and say, mom & dad.. i would like to start dating.. what are our family rules? that will get things started...

First learn to spell.
Then ASK your mom what age she started dating and to give you some tips about what to do and what to avoid.

just tell them that u think that u r old enough and responsible enough to try dating and actual show them that u are with other things in ur life bcuz if u really prove to them that u r mature enough to date they will allow u to trust me. i hope that helps:)

You just ask them. My stepdaughter went thru this. She would talk to me about it, and shed ask, How do I ask my dad? Id just tell her, when hes home and not doing anything, just bring it up. You wont know till you ask.

just tell them u r ready
you could go up to them and tell them that you think you are ready to go on dates. you could tell them how responsible you are and prove u are ready. whatever you do try not to bring it up too much. don't harpe on it. well. good luck!
