How old should a girl be before she can date?

Question

any adults?

Answer 1

I have noticed most people start dating at around 10. My dad has always told that i could only date after my drivers licences but i started at 13...I think 13 would be a good age.

Answer 2

Well, I'm 17. I guess you can almost consider me an adult. But here is my opinion.
Dating has to deal with a deep intamte, but not sexual, relationship with the opposite sex/gender. When done at a young age, say about 12-14, this can soon become the focal point of your life. It is not good to start dating then, when you should be more conserned about school, however there is never an age restriction on becoming freinds with a person of the oppoiste gender, in your case a guy. I think dating would best be thought through before taking place, and the understanding that later on in life there is a possibility of getting married. and not just a slim chance. You can find out what their like personality wise and how they are just hanging out as freinds first. You know how a person is like when you hang out with their freinds. Dating and breaking up continuosly is a practice not for marriage, but for divorce.
I have only dated once, and stoped because of the request of parents. I am not just regurgitating what they have told me. I took all this into consideration before me and the unnamed man started dating. In fact we are still in very good contact and still have the same feelings for each other. Later on, if it is God's will, we may get back together again once the criteria my parents have requested has been fulfilled. Till then, we are to be good freinds.
I belive you want a age in years. I would say no earlier than 16. Then you are mentaly mature enough to grasp the wonderful responsibility is means to bring this other person into your life.
Love is not a game, and not just a feeling that you fall into and then later fall out of. If so, then that isn't love. Love is a recognition that you have a deep connection with a person, and all you want is what is best for them. You want to be with them, by their side through thick and thin, and if necessary give your life for them.
"No greater love is this then to give up his life for a freind." - Jesus Christ
"Love is patient and kind. Love is not jelous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. Love is not rude, is not selfish, and does not get upset with others. Love does nto count up wrongs that have been done. Love is not happy with evil but is happy with the truth. Love patiently accepts all things. It allways trusts, always hopes, and always remains strong.Love never ends." -1 Cor 13: 4-8a
God bless you

Answer 3

30 HA HA only kidding. Depends on the girl and how responsible and mature she is(Mentally not physically). Also who she intends on dating. Do the parents know him and/or his parents. Does she know the consequences of dating should she make a wrong decision Is she strong enough to say no. Group Dating sounds good safety in numbers. But definitely not before they are 15.

Answer 4

i started dating when i was almost 14, but i think 15 is a good age. then u have your permit, and can drive. you're responsible, but yeah. i think i started dating a little too young, but yeah. i had my first boyfriend in 5th grade. but kids these days are growing up too fast. i think that if the person is old enough to say no to something they're not ready for, they can go ahead and start dating. but like in middle school, there's the little "together" thing going on. when 2 people like each other, they get together and become a couple. they don't date, but they have everyone know they like each other, walk together, and on occasion hold hands

Answer 5

#1: what ever your rule, make sure you are able to follow through with it

#2: It must apply to ALL of your children, not matter the gender, intelligence, or maturity level

I am not allowed to one-on-one date until I am 16, but group dates are fine as long as there are parents in the house or we are at a movie, etc. Make sure that there isn't a lot of down time when you and your boyfriend are alone. Taking it slowly is not bad, and it makes your relationship all the more precious.

Answer 6

For me it was 16, but that doesn't mean I wasn't going out with a group of co-ed friends, ya know? It just meant at 16 I could do the one on one thing. I think making your kid wait until they're in College to date is not only cruel and unusual, but not very practical. Chances are, they're dating someone without you knowing it-and believe me, you can be with someone and not have your parents know. So whatever you choose to do, make sure it's fair, consistent, and right for you and your child.

Answer 7

I'm 24 and I think high school is the best time to start one-on-one dating. I have no problems with 7th/8th graders going places (the mall, movies, skating rink) in groups, but I know at least for me, high school made me more mature. (I also have no problem with a 3rd grade girl having a "boyfriend" who stands next to her in line and sits next to her at lunch.) I went on my first real date in 10th grade and it was no big deal between me and my parents. Make sure that whatever age she is, she is mature enough to know what she wants and does not want out of the relationship and what behavior that you, as a parent, expect out of her.

Answer 8

It depends on the maturity of the girl, but I would say never before 16

Answer 9

You should have a driver's license before you should be allowed to date. That way you can drive and if he tries anything funny you can kick him out of the car!

If you choose to date younger than 16, "group" dating is appropriate. There's nothing wrong with meeting a bunch of friends and heading out to a movie with the guy/girl you like. And there's strength in numbers.

Answer 10

i think that 13 is i good age. i started when iwas 14, but almost all of my frineds started around 12. at 12, relationshps dont really mean anything, but there is no reason, as long as the parents know the guy, that they cant date.
