What do you think the appropriate age for dating is?

we will let our daughter date when she is 17 the whole reason for dating is to find the one person for you to marry. anyone that would let there kids be alone with the opposite sex at 12 or 13 is   just not a responsible parent.

I am 25 and my fiancée is 21, personally I think that anyone who says they wouldn't go out with anyone younger than them is being a little narrow minded, surely the person matters more than how old they are?  \n\nAs for dating (if I was single) as long as I connected with that person and found them attractive (and as long as it was legal!) I wouldn't have an age limit at all!

I was only 12 yrs old when i started secretly dating a 19 yr old guy.... it was fun because it was forbidden and nobody knows until my Dad caught me. I was grounded to have dates intil I was 18... My point is, there is nothing wrong in dating someone older than 18 while you are an underage. As long as its a harmless date. Harmless in the sense that both of you are just enjoying each others company (no sex involved). Its only a DATE...not marriage.

it depends on the age difference.\n\nI'm 18, I wouldn't date a guy younger than 17.

From what I heared is best between 20 and 25. This way you are grown up enough and young enough too. For a man is best they say between 25 and 30.

as long as you're both at the age of consent or older... you're cool... 27 is more than an appropriate age

Well, that depends on your age. I'm dating a guy that is 21, but i am also 21.\n\nI think it is fine as long as you are at least 16.

Yes, I do think 13 is too young to be dating. I think 16 is appropriate, or at least till you are a freshman in high school. I think the point being that you are too young to deal with some of the things that you will inevitably face while dating. Just take your time and be young for now...I didnt start dating until I was 16 and I dont feel like I missed out, because when I did start dating there were less restrictions on me and I could drive...because lets face it, you really dont want your parents to drive you on a date do you?

I would say it depends on how old you are and whether the date went well or not.  If you are consenting adults, I'd say "yes"

I'm 15 and I date and so does everyone in my high school.  You can't put an age limit on love and attraction so it shouldn't matter how old you are, as long as you are being safe.  I think that teen dating is great because i sure can't imagine life without it.  It's great that you've found someone that you love and you shouldn't let anyone tell you that you are not old enough to have a serious boyfriend.

There is not a thing wrong with a 14 and 16 year olds to date each other. As long as you understand what dating is. \nMany think dating is a relationship but that is not the truth. Dating is spending time together sharing in activities and having fun. It is to enjoy each others company while getting to know each other. \nAlso many may disagree with me and call me old fashion but, I urge you to take things slow and really get to know each other and try not to pressure each other into a relationship. There is no rush and enjoy your teen years for once they are gone there is no going back.

15 is a reasonable age to be dating. I started at around that age. I would not let her date anyone more than three years older than her and would prefer any boys 18 years of age to be Seniors in high school. When she is 18 she can do what she wants but until then she is my daughter and I will do what I need to in order to keep her safe!! Of course meeting the "date" is a must and there will be rules such as what time to be home, and letting her know she can call me for ANY reason if she needs to no matter what the time or where she is!!

Although 18 for girls and 21 for boys is the minimum recommended age for getting married, i think its better to spend as much time as you can with your partner to know them better before you get married. And whats the rush, you still have a long life ahead, enjoy life now, theres a lot of time left to take these decisions later. 18 is the age to do other things, not getting married.

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.

I think love IS at any age.  It is just the level of committment offered at the age.  Your age you shouldn't be looking at marriage or kids but your future, enjoying your time with limited responsiblities.  But my age i am looking for someone to share my life with, raise our kids, and retire with.  But all the same it is true love when in your heart you feel this persons' thoughts and feelings, needs and wants are important to you beyond anyone else's (except for your own, don't lose your identity)

i think 10 years younger is ok and no one 10 years older would be sufficient don't you? Why are you worried about it anyway? Date who ever as long as it don't consist of going thru the high schools with the trunk of your car filled with a Playstation and candy and sodas to lure your dates.
