Default Dating. What age is too young?

If u have kids that are at that age or have a opinon on this issue express it.
IMO i think real dating should start no earlier than 14 or 15 depending on the maturity level. Before u start letting them date u need to reittirate "the talk" as well.

For my daughter, dating will begin when I'm dead.

Default Re: Dating. What age is too young?

Megan started dating at 13, Dylan at 15, Dane 13, Cassie just started dating so 14. Jonathan apparently started dating at 12.

For us it all depends on the child, if they show enough maturity to date at 12, why not? Of course that's to say that Amber and I need to know who this boy/girl is, and the first few dates be at either our house or the other childs house under parental/guardian supervision.

i started dating at 14.........but i look back at it now, and relationships when you are that young just cause stress.
16 is the golden age.

Default Re: Dating. What age is too young?

It depends on the child and how mature it is. I think I'll allow my kids to date when they think they're ready for it. And if they should discover they're not ready even if they thought so? Well, all they will have to do is stop dating.

My kids won't need to have "the talk" before they start dating. "The talk" in my family is a long process starting when they're very little and ending once they will not feel at ease about talking with mommy about love and sex anymore.

Spoken like a true dad LOL. it prolly depends on the kid. I am not wild about my niece having bf's but as so far it has been fairly innocent and closely supervised i figure it is better to pick my battles!
