Answer 1

13 is too young, listen to your parents

Answer 2

This of course is only an op ion everyone has one.is13 to young to date for out dates yes but you might ask your parents about in your home dates on the sofa holding hands watching movies eating popcorn.Remember they love you an just want to protect you from things that would hurt you not only in body but in spirit as well so listen an ask for this compromise don't demand anything if they say no show you are hurt but don't back talk or pitch a fit then give it a week or two an ask again an if this guy is after more than one thing most guys are then he should agree as well if not then you know what was on his mind an you don't need him or the consequences that come with a relationship of that kind!

Answer 3

Yes, 13 is too young to date. Even though your parents may be wrong about this guy, they do know more about life than you do. You have to admit that. You are only 13 and you certainly don't know everything yet. You are still learning. You main thing right now should be school. If you start worrying about guys now, your heart is going to be broken so many times before you even get to college. They are saving you from unneeded pain. Listen to your parents and respect them. Be adult about it as much as you can at your age and simply wait until you are out of high school. That is actually a better age to date anyway.

Answer 4

When i am a parent, i won't let my 13yr old date. I say you can date at 18. There is nothing wrong with guy friends and having a crush, but that kind of thing is too serious for a young child who should focus primarily on school and finding herslef and enjoying youth. I'm sorry that your parents have mandated the no boyfriend thing without an explanation. I had close boy friends at 13 but we never did anything both hold hands... and it was at 17 that i had my first real boyfriend, but i was working and had finished studying. Good luck sweetie :)

Answer 5

13 is too young to date.You need to be able to make mature decisions when it comes to dating and at 13 you just don't have enough experience to make good decisions. You should be allowed to talk on the phone with him, though. But I also think waiting until after high school is too old. Maybe your mom can meet the boyfriend at your house and see if he is anything like his mom, and he can come hang out as long as your mom or dad is there.

Answer 6

I think you should be about 17 to date...
13 I think is way too young.
:)
But if you really like him just talk to him on the phone and online and maybe invite him over to see your parents so they can get to know the real him...
But I dont think it's very safe going out with him just the two of you...not yet.
And it also depends on how old he is if he is 13 I dont see any harm in leting you two date but if he is like 15 or 16 or somthin then I dont think its such a good idea with you being so young.

Answer 7

Date? Probably not. Have sex? Definitely. Are you wondering why I added that second part about sex? Well, a lot of people who date end up having sex. You are WAY too young for that, and your parents may be concerned for your well-being. If your "boyfriend" has taken after his mom, which is common, then your virtue and life could be endangered if he and you are irresponsible. Pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases are a very real and dangerous threat to your livelihood. So whereas I don't think 13 is too young to date, I hardly blame your parents for wanting to restrict you. It is for your own safety. Better safe than sorry.

Answer 8

Because you are thirteen! Niether of you can drive, you don't have jobs to pay for your date, and you can't get married. In essence, what you are asking for is a play date with some guy.
It's better to wait until high school. Why waste your time with someone you'll break up with in a month? Your mom is using widom :)
As for ligget_04, dating an older guy is a mistake, all they want is untouched meat.

Answer 9

Just because his mum's a whore doesn't mean that he will be. I'm 14 and I've been daitn gmy boy friend since october 2006. I say that if you start dating at 13 you'll learn how to deal with a boy friend better and you'll have more experience by the time your 15 then sosme of the other kids in your grade! Your a teenager you live to make mistakes and learn from them!

Answer 10

Even though I know a fair amount that have, I still think 13 is too young. Most don't know the commitment that comes with it. This is why you see these 13 year olds getting raped and such, i'm not trying to be mean, but I see it on the news too often to ignore it.

Answer 11

Because you are too immature and your parents only have your best interests at heart. The more you whine about it, the longer it will be before they allow you to date. So concentrate on being respectful and becoming a nice young lady that will someday attract the right kind of boy. Have a lot of different friends...maybe your parents will be agreeable to allowing you to have small groups of friends over to hang out and play games occaisionally...with your parents at home...if you have good friends then you shouldn't have any worries about them coming to you house as long as they have their parents permission.
