Well kids always have their little boyfriends and girlfriends in school. It's funny because that usually consists of as soon as you start going out you avoid each other until one of you gets one of your friends to go and tell the other person that they're dumped and then you can suddenly talk to them again.
For something a little more serious, I'm assuming High School, I'd say 15.

If it was a girl (daughter), I'd let her have a boyfriend when she was in 8th grade. Provided, of course, that I met him first just to make sure he wasn't someone who was going to be really bad for her.
If it was a boy (son), I'd make him wait until probably his second year of high school. I'd still want to meet the girl, but I wouldn't be as concerned about her pressuring him.
I think this all has a lot to do with the differences between boys and girls. Girls mature faster, so they're emotionally ready to date sooner. And boys are less likely to become a victim of peer pressure.

You're asking for a lot of grief if you try to control this to the point of disallowing a bf or gf for your children regardless of their age as doing so will only make them more determined in having it and will drive a wedge between you.
My advise is to make certain they are under adult supervision whenever possible and to meet the parents of the child to make certain that everyone is on the same page in respect to supervision. You will also be able to better gauge what kind of person this other child is once you have meet their parents.

I don't think the age matters. My daughter had boyfriends from the time she started kindercare. When she was around 8 one of the boys who was her boyfriend asked her to the movies. I spoke to the parents and we thought it was so cute and yes, I let her go.To be honest I think my daughter attended skating dates, movie dates and Mcdonald dates from the time she was 6 years old. She has been dating just about her whole life. Boys would call on her to play basketball or ride bikes or just hang out because not only was she beautiful she was very fun to be with.
Then one day it happened. All the cutesy stuff was gone and it was for real. He wanted to take her out in his car.....no parents....they had been dating ( with parents ) for a long time so we all talked about it and decided it was fine.They went to the movies. I got a call late that night. Their was an accident. He was making a left hand turn and a car T-boned the Truck on my daughters side.
Although her voice was shaky, she was able to tell me that she was so glad she was wearing her seat belt. It had saved her life.
If you instill the right things in your children then the choices they make will be the right ones.
My daughter has made mistakes but they were her own, she learned from us the ones not to make and learned from herself ones not to make again.
Sex was taught to her form the time she could undestand that her private areas belonged to her and if mommy and daddy couldn't touch them then know one else could.
I have one AWESOME kid and I believe I was really blessed to have been given the opportunity to be her mom.
So, go with your gut and do what you think is right!Weare all parents to that one child...only once. Enjoy it!
