Answer 1

If "dating" consists of holding hands or talking to someone at school, then sure.

If it means doing more than that....no, no and no.

Answer 2

This is a personal choice and one that also depends upon your parents. You must decide what you want to do for yourself, and also consider your parents restrictions.
Just because your friends are dating doesn't mean you should feel that you should do the same, especially if you're not ready.
Dating is a lot of responsibility. Relationships often interfere with school, because of the emotional side of it all. You could get hurt, heartbroken, or worse yet end up pregnant. I'm hoping that was not part of the equation... but dating often leads to more than just a 'holding hands' relationship.
My best advice is to ask yourself what do you really want in life? Do you want the responsibility of a relationship? Do you want the reputation of dating at such a young age? Do you want an education first before leaping into a relationship? Just decide what you are ready for and what makes you happiest, and again remember to respect the wishes of your parents, they do have the last say.

Answer 3

Nooo, don't date. You can have crushes and whatnot but you will be much better off if you wait until you are at least 15 before you have a boyfriend.

People who are dating right now, are missing out on being a kid and they will never get this time back... the fact that you are asking this question is a good sign...you know it's probably a little too soon.

Just let your friends do what they are going to do and try to make friends with people who aren't in "relationships".

Finally, I think you should talk to your parents about this and let them know what is going on with your friends. Let them know how it makes you feel and ask them to help you find people who are interested in other things, like going to movies or karate or dance or something like that...

You parents will be very proud of you for using your good judgment--heck, I'M proud of you.

Answer 4

I did when I was even younger, lol. But I think it's a mistake to date at that age.

I think you should wait until AT LEAST 8th grade, if that seems impossible, then try near the end of 7th.

I personally would say that the BEST time to start dating, like Real dating, would be sophomore year, but some fresman can handle it.

If you are more mentaly mature than most people your age and you can find someone who is as mature as you are, then you could probably start dating now, if you REALLY wanted to.

Remeber, you don't have to do things just because lots of other people are doing them.

Answer 5

Dont date just because everyone else is dating. If everyone was jumping off a bridge would you jump too? If everyone was smoking would you smoke as well? The question is do you want to date? Plus you are only in the 6th grade, you are still young. Have a chance to be a kid! I mean...would you want to have a kid at age 12? Not saying that is going to happen...but it could. One of my coworkers was telling me now she had her first child at age 14! And she is 22 now...with another one on the way. I am 20 and I couldnt think of having a child at this age. Matter of a fact...I am 20 years old and still haven't really dated yet. That is because I dont want to just date someone just for the mere fact of dating. I want to be with someone who I think is worth my time and someone who I can get along with and who understands me. Dont date yet, be a kid, keep your mind in school.

Answer 6

Take your time. You should only date when you feel comfortable, and you NEVER have to go along with what everyone else is doing just because it's a popular thing to do.

I didn't date at that age. I'm so shocked to hear how many couples there are in 1st grade! People are dating too young, I would wait until high school.

If you're comfortable, go for it. I do not suggest it, though. Boys at that age can be kinda dumb.

Answer 7

I remember when I was in 6th grade too...Lots of kids were dating but none were lasting relationships. If you have a guy that you like a lot and you won't mind going out with him, then go ahead. But dating will take time out of your homework time and possibly distract you from school. Some of my friends had bfs/gfs, and it caused them lots of stress. However, like I said before, if there is someone who you can go out with with few problems, then if youre ready, go ahead. You start dating when youre ready, (and your parents should say ok). Hope that helps!

Answer 8

I was in 6th grade when I got my first boyfriend . It was mainly because all my friends had boyfriends. We were together for 8 months and never kissed. We held hands a few times. I wasn't ready. Only you can answer this question.

Personally I don't think so.

Answer 9

I would say no. Its a stressful distraction. Do your school work and get into a good college. So you at least have the chance to get a decent job. Don't date Worry about your future and everything else will fall into place when the time is right. Develop and become your own person/

Answer 10

i remember 6th grade. its hard. even though everyone is dating doesnt mean that you have to. Date when you feel that your ready to. Also make sure its okay with your parents, the last thing you want to do is upset them, and then you wot be able to date until your 35! just kidding, but date when yout ready not just because everyone else is. I personally think 6th grade is to young, have fun dont worry about the pressures of dating.

Answer 11

Hmm... I'm sure it's okay just watch yourself honey. Don't go out with someone you will not be happy with. Dating won't (and shouldn't) be serious at your age. When I was in 6th grade, I had a boyfriend and wow it was so pointless and stupid. He lied to make me like him, and he only liked me because of the way I looked, not the way I acted. I ended up breaking up with him, and it was so confusing. I simply addressed that I wanted to be ' just friends ' and he kept asking me out after that, and smart protective of myself me, said no. It was a good decision because 2 weeks later I met one of the nicest guys and went out with him for a while. Anyways, the point of that was DON'T MAKE STUPID DECISIONS!!! Baby, guys come and go, so don't let guys change you! Also, school work always comes first.
