Is it wrong to start dating at 15?
371979
I started dating at 15 too and ended up with more than just a boyfriend. I ended up with a boyfriend  and three kids by the time I was 19 years old and couldn't go to college. I watched as all of the majority of my peers went to college and now they are successful. The woman always ends up with the bad deal.Men don't have to gain an extra 30-80 pounds because of pregnancy. I sure did while carrying my babies.Now I'm 27 years old and trying to take some college classes to improve my lifestyle for me and  my kids. Kids grow so fast every time I turn around they need something or their shoes are always outgrown. Trust me don't rush to get a man because most of them want sex as a part of the package deal naturally. You will end up like me or probably worst. Get yourself a good education and try to go after a degree, a man can pick up and leave you at any given time, an education will last you for a lifetime.Also  you will never have to depend on anyone when your are educated people will need you. And that's Real Girlfriend! Good Luck, I wish you the best in making decisions in your life because once you do, you can never go back in time and change your decisions.Women can do anything, just don't get caught up in the opposite sex, YETT!!!

THANK YOU for asking this question.  i will soon be 15 and am in the EXACT same situation...ive been asked out before but the guys always seem annoying and i want a bf.  no, you're not weird, atleast i hope, b/c this culture is just getting annoying.  not everyone needs a relationship so early, and though i really wish i had my first kiss and am kind of depressed about it, i kind of think of it this way(though i wish i'd ACTUALLY believe it myself): by the time i get my first kiss the guy im with will be mature and it will probably be a magical night...i just wish i wouldn't have to WAIT so long! well good luck and come talk to me if you find a way to overcome this problem(just answer one of my questions)\n\n<3\n\np.s. i just editied this...and actually some of the ppl who said u were strange i went and commented on, b/c i think it is RIDICULOUS to have had your first kiss at 5, doesn't that sound a bit stupid?  you'll find a nice guy who would rather be with a nice girl than a girl who thinks its more important to have been a baby prostetute than a lady...especially a smart lady....just go to school and be the best you can be...then, in 10 years, when you are making lots of $ and you're friend is a hooker, your husband and you can talk about how strange SHE is.  hehe good luck!<3

Okay, so basically, what you're saying is, as of right now, you're 15 and he's 24? While it may seem thrilling and exciting at such a young age to have an older man interested in you, or to have anyone romantically interested in you since at your age you've probably not had many relationships, there are a few things you might want to think about:\n\nThis man, and i stress the word MAN has lived a lot more than you, even though numerically it's "only" 9 years difference, he's reached a lot more milestones than you. Chances are he's graduated high school, had some secondary schooling such as college or university, could have been in the armed forces, and he's probably already had his first love and a few relationships since. Now you, as a 15 year old girl, still have the rest of high school ahead of you, college, etc. It seems a bit disturbing to be that a 24 year old man would pursue something with someone so young.\n\nI know boys your age may seem immature, unromantic, and this guy may seem older, and wiser, and mysterious, but the difference here is still something i think you should think about, seriously.  \n\nWhatever you decide, i hope it works out for the best.

as a 15 year old you shouldn't worry about such things. best friends are alot harder to find than girlfriends. be friends with her first when she is ready to be a "girlfriend" she will let you know in the mean time spend time with other girls have fun you have lots of time.

nothing wrong at all. everyone is different and time is no issue. at least you should have saved money by not chasing the other sex. get your future on track first, and finding someone can can later. once you are established you will be more able to find the perfect someone for you.\n\nand besides, dating is over rated.

Yes, sure I would, doesn't really matter how the girl looks. I'm not picky at all. But you're just 15, so I'd put off dating for a few years. It isn't like you're "not ready" as some parents or other adults might say, just you should enjoy life and not worry about dating or if you have a boyfriend every moment of every day. Take some classes, play sports, read, write, learn, and relax.

there is nothing wrong with not dating until you are your age. i had never even kissed a guy until a was older than you. your father is right that girls do not need a romantic ride to the movies, you just need a ride in general. everyone gets rejected at some point in life, you just have to take a chance.

It depends on how old you are and what you mean as a boyfriend. If you mean having a boyfriend like hanging out at each others house then middle school/ jr high. If you mean actually dating you need to be older.\n\nTo date you really need to be old enough to be able to say no to situations that make you uncomfortable. There is no set age for dating and having a boyfriend it varys with each individual person.

There is NO WAY ON EARTH that a 14 year old should be going out with an 18 year old.  It is not "against the law" to date, but anything sexual with him is a crime (for him, not for you).

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)

16\n\nI think one can go out with friends at a younger age, but true "dating" shouldn't start until around the age of 16.

No i don't think it's wrong as long as it's not ur girl friend and he really like her that's all that matters.\np.s. i'm a female and i'm about to be 15 in may.

i think its perfectly ok to start dating at 12. Hold hands, kiss but dont even think about anything else until you are 100% ready. Next time he wants to hold your hand, grab it and give him a big smile. =)

2 years can be a lot , then nothing at all if your 16 and she's 14 that's a problem .You don't say how old , you may be too young in her parents eyes to date .If your 17 and she's 15 then there could be legal problems .Now when your 23 and she's 21 , That's not the case but can you see what I'm trying to explain.If your 14 and she's 12 ,I'd be very upset your wanting to date at 14.I honestly can't see an answer without knowing the ages .Your shy is not a bad thing ( not totally ) Give yourself some time and get to know the family ( if you can ).With so many very young parents , many of us are guarding our teens from the possibility of it happening to ours,It's not to say your not a great guy , just not the right time . Parents should be respected , they support the children and have earned this right .If you were a parent How would you react ? What age should your daughter start dating ? If young and something happened , would you care that happened ? Sometimes teenagers don't look into the view of the parents .We want you to be happy and date and enjoy life But rules are usually for the interest of the child / young adult .

If you're both single, then go for it... \n\nAltho to save you from disappointment, go in with realistic expectations (people change a lot in 15 years - sometimes not for the better).. If they are cooler than your expectations, great... If not, you wont be "too" disappointed..

You'll meet the right person wether you're into dating or not. There isn't anything wrong with you, I don't much take any interest in dating either, Although I'm only 13. (well i'll be 14 May 1st). But I don't find it very enjoyable. I enjoy just sitting around on the computer most the day and leaving for school and church, There's nothing wrong with you. Or there would be something wrong with me too. So it's ok, You wont be alone forever unless it's meant in gods eyes for you to be. Which I don't think that's so cause god made man and women to be togather. So you wont be alone forever, just have faith. All things are done through god. oh, and Good Luck finding your true love.
