It depends on how mature your daughter is. I would say either 14 or 15 years old, but not until 16 years old if she doesn't seem like she's ready to start dating at 14 or 15.

You should tell her she can start dating in high school. See how dating affects her school life, social life, etc., and if you think she is handling everything well, let her continue dating. If not, sit down and have a talk with her about what needs to change before she can start dating again. It is important that she doesn't neglect her school work or the friends she already has. If she does, it will only cause her trouble in the end!

It depends on how your daughter is. If she is responcible and does well in school, then IMO Id let her start at 16, maybe 14. The only problem with putting down rules when it comes to them not dating is that they may do it behind your back.
If your kid is rebelious, setting an age limit wont make a difference as she will do what she wants regardless of your wishes from her are.

It depends if you mean dating in a serious relationship, or dating in a serious and sexual relationship, since a relationship doesn't neccessarily have to be sexual to be serious or commited. If she's planning on having sex, then 16 (I'm 14, and where I live 16 is the age of consent anyway). Otherwise no younger than 12(or 13). I'm pretty mature for my age though, so my father -my parents are divorced- is lenient with me, mostly cuz he trusts me that I'm not gonna do anything stupid. If you keep the reins tight on a teen they're just gonna rebel or be sneaky, I have friends that are the perfect examples of a teen gone wrong.... smoking, drinking, having sex... etc, and it was because of overly-strict parents that they got into that stuff.

Well, moving in with a guy is a little much. But at least if she's dating, that's a few meals you won't have to pay for. But I'd say 13 is the youngest she should start.

I think it all depends on individual.If you child is trusting and responsible then I think 15 is old enough to go on a date with a boy whom you have met with the family a few times(and have gotten the down low on from every known source.)I think dates should start at the home around people and then they should be given private time at the home and then dating outside the home should be given in short time frames at first and then extended based on the review.Just make sure you lay down the rules before on acceptable behavior, all the tips on dating, date rape, drinking, driving, places that are appropriate or not etc.Talk about sex, your daughters feelings on it, sexually protection from std's and pregnancy etc.Make sure you enforce curfew.Hope this helps.Good luck!

Group dates or chaperoned dates.....I would say 14-15......Going out on dates alone with the boy, then 16 and older.......if she's mature enough to handle the situations that occur on these dates. Just make sure that you have talked with her before things like this start happening.

Before 16 the more you make a kid wait the more stupid stuff they will do. I was 14 or 15 but I was always able to date whenever I was ready.
