I think that, that is too young. Yes you could of had one in kindergarden, but that meant nothing. You should at least wait until your in 10th grade to start worring about a boyfriend.

Just be yourself. Guys your age just see sex all around them, so be careful. Don't try to change for anyone, but be more sociable. 13 is quite a small age to have a boyfriend in the true sense of the word.

Nothing. You essentially answered your own question with your last sentence, a question in any case that can only be appropriately and accurately answered on a very individualized basis. It's not about an age differential, it's about the quality of person. It's not about possible risk or societal misgiving, but about personal expectation and scope of maturity. It's not about being too young (unless you're twelve, in which case you shouldn't even be asking this question), but about being emotionally and mentally equipped for more than your own age group tends to offer as a general whole. In the end, age factors in very little with the one primary exception of life-experience and what that means to the stability and wisdom of a person. You will find similarly aged people the world over experiencing the same relationship pitfalls as are potential to an age-imbalanced relationship. Difference in age, in most cases, will be a much smaller factor or culprit in the risks of danger than will be a person's inability to adequately judge character and establish their own self-awareness (whatever their age).\n\nI'm 33. I was just married in December to a beautiful, capable, very worthy 20 year-old. The age-thing crossed our minds (and everybody else's), of course. But it was a momentary waste of time once we (and everybody else) looked past it and into the realm of more meaningful things. People tend to hold age alone accountable for the way a person may or may not be. This, in my experience, tends to be an unfair generalization across the board. Truth is, regardless of age, there are many other facts about a person that go into their making. Look at the person, not the number of years they've been alive (which opens the door for people your same age or even younger than you at the same time).

you should specify an age so that you will not get guys that are way too old for you. Unless you do not mind!

Preferably around 18, no younger than 15 or 16.  It's more about the maturity of the person and how responsible they are in practicing safe sex and prepared for any "accidents" and consequences.  I was around 16, and was ready and responsible enough and had a steady partner I loved.

Any age is good as long as you both want to and dont need to,but yes it is a good age as you have started to accumulate possesions by then and understand that it is good to share your life with someone,other then for the thrill.

Why 16 or seventeen? I think it's silly. You should start dating when you feel like you're ready for a serious relationship. It's not age dependent, but it's rather your what and how you feel about initiating such a relationship. Remember, it's not a game, not an experiment. It's not fair to experiment with people's feelings, but if you feel like you're ready for a relationship, go ahead. I'm 22, but I still don't feel mature and brave enough to initiate a romantic relationship. (plus I don't have the confidence to do that, but that's another story)

Nah, you don't need one.  Have as much fun as you can without one.  Enjoy your free time and not stressing about it.  One will come along eventually.\n\nRemember, it's better to not have a boyfriend than to have a boyfriend who is a jerk or a loser.

8th grade, huh?  That makes you about 12 or 13.  Hmm, I can give you an answer from the standpoint of someone about 10 yrs older...but I don't think that's what you really want.  To be brief and to the point, find a guy you like and want to be with because of who he is and not because you want ppl to envy you and your boyfriend.  If you do like I say, ppl will envy you because you're with someone you want to be with because of who he is and what you'll have together.  If that doesn't make someone envy you then I'm as far removed from the human race as humans are to ants.  Btw, don't flaunt someone like you're talking about...you'll quickly find that you don't have that person for very long if he's really a nice guy.

thats perfectly okay. i am 17 soon to be 18 and my boyfriend is 21 soon to be 22. i love him with all my heart. older boys are hotter more experinced and know how to treat a girl. i'm his little princess. but tell your friend to be careful some boys are in it for the booty action. so i wish good luck to your friend.

Its not at all about the age. Its all about compatiability. You guys should be on the same wavelength and you should have trust. being able to communicate properly is also one of the major criteria.\nAge difference does not matter.

I don't think we should allow society to dictate age restrictions in relationships. There is a 21 year age gap between my boyfriend and I (I'm 27). I have never been happier in my life. Just like with any relationship, it needs to have the essentials like trust, understanding, communication, interests, goals, etc. If those elements are in place, then nothing else matters. Love is the greatest feeling in the world, and age shouldn't stop anyone from experiencing it.
