How old you think the appropriate age of starting to date is?

16 is ok as long as you are dating your school pal. Else wait until 21

30. You're past your immaturity, know what you want in life, and accept your past, and ready for your present. I'm only 22, so this is the age I think. I may change my mind when I turn 30, or a different age, lol.

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

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.

around 16-18 years old...depends if u truly love the girl with all the intensity in your soul and heart...and if u do once you hit 18(the legal age)I would go for it.

Nothing wrong with dating someone twenty years older if it works for both of you.  And you are at least 18.

A lot of it depends on the peoples ages.  If a 14 year old wants to date someone 3 or more years older than them then that is a bit much.  But if a 35 year old wants to see someone 40 it would be more appropriate.  Most of the time it comes down to maturity, experience and norms of the society.

I guess that really depends on what kind of relationship you are looking for. Quite honestly, if I am looking at buying my first house when she's checking up on her social security benefits, or for quality nursing homes.. the age gap is too big.\n\nOtherwise, it's not at all bad to date a woman who's older than you. Your personalities and interests should play a bigger part than age alone. Though, the age factor can SOMETIMES be a deterant but only you can really decide if/how much that bugs you.

=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.

I bet your going to get a lot of similar answers, but I do not believe there is a right age.  I do believe someone in their 30s is much more mature and much more capable of knowing they are ready to be together.  The younger you are the more likely you are to divorce according to statistics.

I think that you should wait until you do reach 18 before getting romanticly involved with him because too many bad things could happen if you guys get into a fight since you are still a minor. But after you turn 18, you should go for it. I'm 26 and am dating a 42 year old. Most of them still act like they're 15 not matter how old they get. lol

It depends on the maturity level of the kid. My son I think would be fine at being allowed to date at age 15 (opinion subject to change w/o notice).My niece,who I love as my daughter, I would not let out untill she is 18.I love her, but the girl has no kind of good sense!

I think that so long as it doesn't bother either of you - go for it. When I was 18 I dated a guy who was 40 - there's nothing wrong with it so long as you have things in common and you don't let the age different impact the relationship.

I say 16, or 13 if you do group dates, and parental supervision. Under 13 is too young. Unless u live near them and near a movie theatre etc or whatever, your too young. But there isn't an age really. Well first u have to like a guy, he then has to like you. And then ask you, or you ask him out.

16, only on small litte dates. Like movies or bowling. 18 for serious dating.
