well i personally think it's okay if u don take it to far look on the positive side but make sure each of ur parents noes about it and approves..as long as u don neglate ur studies...and be mentally prepared for sudden break-ups or anything cause u r still 11..u are still undergoing puberty so the way ur mind thinks will change surprisingly..

Be yourself.  If you are under 18 then you don't need to worry yourself.  Boys/men are a lot of trouble if you are not emotionally ready to handle them.  Focus on school, participate in extracirrcular activities and spend time with family and friends.  You have your whole life to get a boyfriend.

You are 11, you're not ugly, and you definitely do not need a valentine at this age. You want to know when my first valentine was? When I was 19 years old. Don't worry, your guy will come when it's the right time. You're 11, play, laugh, grow, and THEN worry about that stuff.. don't worry about popularity either... just be happy! :o)

You mean "caucasian." Anyway, you are 12 and you're too young to date. Guys your age are only after one thing, so don't even bother. Wait until you are older to date, i'd say 18. You can flirt, maybe go on dates, movies, kiss a little but don't go falling head over heels for every good looking guy. Take it easy. Focus on school work hehe :) How do you choose a guy? how about you choose zero, zilch, nada, nothing! trust me, you don't need a boyfriend now. When I was your age I never wanted a boyfriend because I knew they only wanted sex and wanted to have fun then break my heart so I chose not to get involved with any at all and now I am 21 and have a great b/f. Even grown men take a long time to mature lol, how can a young one like 13 grow up?? They want fun and you will only be just that. I'm not trying to get in your case but wait ok, and be patient!! Don't date, don't do anything you will regret; your reputation is on the line and once it's screwed up it cannot be fixed. You are probably an 8th or 9th grader. No boys needed. Chill with your female friends. Ciao.

No, you should not be going out with anyone at 11 years old. How do your parents feel about you "dating?"

Enjoy being 12.  Don't be a follower be a leader.  Not because your 12 year old friends have boyfriends means that you have to do the same.  They are a little to young to be involved with boys anyway, so don't feel bad, take your time.  Get your education, in a few years when you are a successful professional in whatever field of study you choose, they would probably have a few kids, a few baby daddies and no real job.  So don't allow yourself to be influenced and led astray, stay true to what you know is right.  Make yourself proud by doing the right thing and just have fun being a kid.

your parents are trying to protect you. A lot of parents are the same on that one. Next week I will be 26 & I have never dated in my life. I have always wondered when I weill meet the right girl. I am also a virgin. I say you should wait until you finish school & graduated college & get a good job then when you are in your 20's get a boyfriend. As I remember some years ago when I was like 18 or 19 my uncle asked me if I had a girlfriend, yet & I said no. He said good, you are too young. So take my advice. Don't start dating until you know for suure you'll spend the rest of your life with the guy. I now know why I have never dated in my life. People ask me why, but I hide the real answer & tell them another.

I was quite content when I was younger to not have a boyfriend, thank you very much. Even when my husband and I were dating, I would break up with him because I didn't wat a boyfriend. I can't remember if he ever broke up with me, but if he did, I know my response to him was, "I don't care." Boys were too much trouble when I was in school, and now, I se how my sister is going through an abusive relationship where she breaks up with this guy and then goes back to him. She was and always has been boy crazy; boys, makeup, and clothes is still all she cares about and she is 19. She dropped out of school to be with her man at 17. But that is another topic with another question

I am now in a fulfilling relationship. Before my current relationship I hadn't had a boyfriend in 8 years. (talk about a dry spell) A year ago all the guys that I had crushes on started approaching me and I had plenty to choose from. It's like I became more attractive. Just wait it out. Don't try to hard. When you stop looking for love, love will find you.

sweetheart, you sound like your 25 and going through a mid-life crisis...Don't "look" for any of that, just let it happen.  I know at your age <<under 16 right>> you may feel ready for a relationship, but your much better off with a guy friend than a boyfriend.  Think about the important things like school, friends, parties, fashion....Trust me, boys are trouble....Don't end up with someone and get pregnant at an early age, there is more to life than that....Look for that care and love from your family, you'll be better off.....If your reading this and thinking that you've heard this all before its because its true.....trust me i would know...

16 is way too early for that promise. I know at 16 you think it is the right time, but trust me, I was there at one time. At 16, he may want to play the field a bit as he gets older, it seems to be the way with guys. I would suggest moving on. You will realize you will have plenty of other guys in your life, but give it time and don't rush into anything yet. Enjoy being single and get to know yourself. By having all long term relationships at your age, it makes it hard to find out who you are, instead you tend to lean towards what your guys are like and so on. Find yourself and save that sort of promise until you are at least in your 20's.\n\nI know it is hard, but believe me, time will heal your pain. In the meantime, be around people who love you and make you happy. This is a good time to be around friends and family you may have neglected when you had a boyfriend (maybe not, but I know some girls do), and ultimately this will help you through this rough time.

You are too young for that.  If you ever wnt any boy to respect you, u cant be doing that kind of stuff.  Focus on you right now or before you know it youll be 17 and pregnant with no dad for the baby.  You dont need a boyfriend.  Change him in for something that will make you feel better about yourself. Exercise instead, then by the time ur 18u can meet someone worthy of you

I first want to say this...being in middle school tells me you are an early teenager.  Being a teenager is quite challenging in itself and doesn't seem to be easier when your peers "make fun of you."  Let's say this - there is so much time ahead of you for boyfriends that one day you'll wonder why you were even worried about this at all.  I have a son who is probably the same age as you and I'll tell you something, the girls are always makeing googoo eyes at him and he likes them back, the funny thing is this..HE IS TOO SCARED TO CALL THEM!  I SWEAR TO IT!  He has even told me he is scared to call them!  So, it may not be that they don't like you, it could possibly be that they are chicken!\n\nIn addition, so much will change for you in the next 4-5 years you won't believe it!  Your mind and thought processes will change drastically, your body will begin to change, your friends will begin to change, and everyone will be going through this all at the same time!\n\nDon't sit around feeling sorry for yourself because you don't have a boyfriend.  One day you will wish you had time to yourself and that you didn't have to deal with the hassel of having a relationship.  Trust me when I say this....but your time will come.  Just worry about being yourself and doing the things that you love to do without feeling you need someone else like a boy to make you complete.  Look out for #1...and #1 is you!\n\nI know it is easier said than done, but let me tell you, everyone was a teenager once..including us parents.  And we liked the opposite sex and we all wanted boyfriends or girlfriends, the funny thing is, none of us were ever brave enough to say to someone that we liked them!  So just sit back, relax and let things be the way that they are and just be yourself!  And if your friends still make fun of you, just sit back and watch them...they'll be heartbroken before you know it.  Relationships in the teen years are really what I call "practice for the real ones you will have as an adult."  Meaning it won't last now, but in the future you will have gained more knowledge and insight into what real relationships are all about and knowing what you expect from another person.  \n\nIf you feel that strongly about being made fun of, talk to your parents.  They are there for a reason...to help you grow up!  And never underestimate how your parents would or could understand you...again, we were all teenagers once ourselves.\n\nSMILE!  IT MAKES PEOPLE WONDER WHAT YOU ARE SO HAPPY ABOUT!

Of course it is only natural that you would want a boyfriend.\nYour not the only one that has said that they do not want to get\nmarried. There are guys out there that does not want to get married either.\nAs for children there are no rules that you have to have children. Life for you looks like you have it planed out. It may take awhile for you to get the career that you want and marriage and children is not for you.\nThis does not mean that you should not have a boyfriend. Companion ship is part of life and a guy friend is ok to have.\nRight now it would not be serious anyway you are 13 and you still have a long way to go. Just think about your career and leave the rest for as it comes when it come. O.K.

=I think 11 and 12 years old is way too young for a relationship.  How about a real good friendship for starters. If he wants to ask you out for a soda after school that is fine.

Take your time getting a boyfriend. Your young and don't settle for one and get messed around by someone who will not treat you good.............
