What age do you guys think people should start dating?
I've seen so many youg kids like 5th and 6th grade having a lot of boyfriends and becoming obsessed with boys and all that. I was talking to this one girl online, because she wanted me to make her an icon for AIM and it had to do with a boy and over the couse of about 4 days I've done one for 3 different boys and she's 12 years old, so I guess 6th or 7th grade? She tells me all of them. She says something like we broke up. I sad aww I'm sorry or something and she's like oh but it's ok I got another one. So it's like you don't actually love the person or really care, so why do it. I think kids should start like serious dating in high school. The youngest I think kids should date is maybe 8th grade depending on how mature you are...whats your opinion? If ther's already a topic on it sorry.

I love your Dom signature!
I tottaly agree! Sometimes i think your parents are right. Because if your only 'going out' with someone because hes popular or just because he asked you, i think its stupid. I put going out in quotes because I dont really think anyone really goes out (im in 8th grade by the way), a few more serious couples do, but most people i just dont get why they are going out with anyone. |

I can't stop the age that people start dating, but mostly I don't think people start having really serious realtionships until maybe 8th grade....However it's good for you to date before that even if it's not serious so you know people you enjoy being with, and people that you would like to be in a commited relationship with!

yeah that is the one plus to it...we were talking about that last year in school, but like when kids act all "Omg I love him" and then they break up and have another boy the next day. That's pointless I think.

^^haha yeah I know...kids at that age don't know true love, well some might, but it's rare. They should still be having fun being a kid, not worrying about oh he loves me we're serious and all that

i think ppl should start dating when u think u really really~ LOVE someone, like u can't leave that person, and like if that person dies then u want to die also. that should be at least 8th grade. i want a boyfriend too~ i mean someone really really cares about me and really really love me. all the guys i like are nice to me, but i don't think they LOVE me. im still looking for a true love~~~ |

everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but i think it's appropriate whenever a person has matured or knows enough about responsibility to do so.

QUOTE well i guess some ppl just wants a bf, for the sake of having one that's what it seems like they do...and yeah when they do reach that maturity level it's fine, like I said sometimes young kids do realize true love, but not many. They're too immature and don't understand. |

they just want to hook up so they can say.. "o yea, I dated him back in 7th grade" when they're like in high school. PLus to them dating is the best way to earn "popularity points"

Honestly, I don't think that we're capable of having a meaningful relationship until the later part of high school or even after that. However, there are exceptions because people mature at different rates. If you have a boyfriend or girlfriend in middle school or below, then most likely, it's just to have one or because they're the crush of the week...not because you see a future with them.

Yeah, I agree with you.
I regret dating the two guys I dated in 6th grade, I'm in 7th now. I realized that when I dated them, it wasn't a serious sort of thing. I now realize that I don't want to date just because I can. |

Well, it's their choice. In 4th grade here, people statred dating.
 My first bf was at the age of 11. 6th grade. We broke up a while back.. but yeah, aren't like all girls, no matter what age, obsessed with guys? I mean.. when hormones start kicking in.. guys are hot.  I'm obsessed with my crush.

HmMmM.. im in 6...
 i know dat sum guys does like me. but i dun like dem becuz dey're not kute . but uh.. mah sis n mah other frds , dey espically say dat i look older for my age. =D really older. which i am really proud of, dat means im growin up fast. ( i already got my pd =) so... but i think it really depends if ur mature enough to be wit someone u like. n lil kid thinks dey're so popular just becuz dey got a bf, or gf. dey're so retarded when dey think it like dat. u dun make urself popular when someone likes u. u only feel happy for urself becuz u got ppl attracted to u. =D dats a good ding !!!  bbbut !! ppl i mean ppl really start to get "obsessed" wit gurls/guys when u start developing..

i kinda get annoyed when kids that age like start having bfs or gfs and act like its serious or something. i think 8th grade is good or atleast 13.
