well he's going to start dating no matter what you do.. i think it's best that you let him.. it's worse if he does it behind your back... if you let him then supervise.. meet his girlfriends .. it doesn't matter that you don't like them... don't let your son know.. because if he knows you don't like her.. your pushing him more towards her.. talk to him about sex and all the transmitted diseases. .. tell him that it's best if he waits..

Children are maturing faster these days...at least that is what the medical experts are saying. Girls are having their cycles earlier and boys are well you know earlier too.
30 or 40 years ago it would have been quite frowned upon except a few parents would drive the young boy and girl to the local indoor movie and then pick them up after wards..my parents did that with me a few times.
Today we live in a much different world; it is faster paced and everyone is in a hurry. Kids are dating earlier and even having sex much earlier. My advice is to allow them to date and to take them to the movies or swimming or what have you then pick them up and drive them to their homes. But also allow them time alone as well, maybe in the den watching TV. Yes they may play around a little but don't fuss at them if they do...It is just part of growing up.

I went on some dates at that age...but they were somewhat supervised. Like, my parents dropped us off at the movie theater, watched us go inside, then picked us up afterwards.
I guess it depends on your son and the girl he wants to date. Most likely his intentions are pretty tame. At least mine were at that age. Just keep the communication open between the two of you, that is soooo important. Don't make him feel like his feelings for girls is wrong or dirty. It's natural and he's becoming a young man. As sad as that is for you, it's an important time in his life.

No. If he is dating now, he will get bored with it and start wanting more from his female companions than just handholding.
Put it off for as long as possible. He should have friends that go out in groups, but no one-to-one dating.

He may want to be responsible, but that's hard for kids his age.
Wait a couple years, man.
Give him the TALK, if you know what I mean.
