yea its so annoying how kids as young as like 10 start getting obsessed with the opposite sex (usually seems to be girls but...)

i think an appropriate age is about 9th or 10th grade, because you're just so much more mature (usually) and are more... yourself. you know what and (hopefully) are comfortable with what your beliefs, self image, and just who you are. this makes people see each other for who thy really are, and then can have easier and better relationships and understandings.

end of speech lol

lol nice speach I agree. I know when I was younger I wasn't much like I am now like with what you said about being yourself and all. Being in the middle of 9th grade, I know more about beliefs and who I am and what not haha yeah

and above me...you only have to click the add reply button once, not 25 times

i remember when i was in 5th grade.... there's was a couple in my class T_T ...that is TOOOOO young

[youdrivinmegrape...]

^^ yeah 5th grade is exteemely young...when I was in 5th grade, well mostly 4th grade we still ran away from boys in the school yard, nowadays the girls are dating em

[priyas]

i agree.
i think waiting until high school when you're actually committed/mature would result in a better relationship

[youdrivinmegrape...]

pryiyas...you mom's probably right there haha...and for ur attatchment, are you trying to make a signature?

[OriskybusinessO]

yea... i used to think like that priyas. But now i realized that my perents were probably close, they say 16, which think is ok, even thought i'll be a junior...

[Shattered_Hope]

I think that nowadays, many couples that are in their teenage years and younger are together becuz they dont want to be alone. When you see a couple...they're making out, holding hands, etc. it ends later in the month maybe, and the cycle plays itself again..I doubt many people are serious nowadays...but there are some that do take it seriously...so I think it depends on the person to begin with...

o... well im nearly 13 and ive been going out for 3 months ... people say im really mature...not cuz im dating , but because apparently i am... im one of the first ppl dating in my year...but i can tell he really loves me...do u think i should be going out?

[-SuN-KiSSeD-]

Yeah, it's really hard to judge what's the appropriate age...but I guess somewhere between 8th grade to highschool should be the starting point. It's hard to judge whether people are in a relationship just for kicks, or if they really wanna have something special with the person...
Although, my sister's friend just got married and they've been going outsince the 7th grade!! that's insane but so sweet lol

[lilsweetdevil08]

I think 15 is the right age...Maybe 16. I think that is the right age.

If you are mature enoguh, and it doesnt seem like on of thoese '2-weekers' yea.

[D1SMANTLED]

To date just for fun, i guess 13.

To date seriously (for marriage).. after high-school.

[xourzest]

i dunno im 10 but like 2 guys asked me out i said no..lol.but not jarrett...

[apple.]

yeah, i think people should start dating at least in grade 8.no before

[DixieDaCutie]

to date for fun, 12-13...it really depends on the ppl.... as long as they dont take it too seriously then any age is fine_!

[Spunknicity]

i sorta agree. i think that middle shcool is about right, because people like me at that age can have perfectly fine relationships and not just like, "oops, there goes another boifriend, oh well, too late, got another, oh whoops that one's gone too.."

[hpsm2]

i guess in eight grade is appropriate? My brother's new school, almost all the students there are desperate to have a bf/gf.

[hpsm2]

oh ya and my brother is only in elementary. All the people there are desperate. No offense though but it's gross cause this one girl urged my brother to be her's.

[youdrivinmegrape...]

^^ That's screwed up...no offense to nay of you but girls between grapes 5-7, usually the younger one's can get very desperate. I know this one girl and she's 11 she has "I WANT A BF!!!!" witten all over her profile and all that crap. It's kinda weird, and very desperate =l

[*mzkandi*]

i think it depends on level of maturity & common sense.

i totally agree. its always funny to hear 12 years saying that they are in love....i think to myself girl you dont know what love is. i didnt start dating til i was 17 becuz by then i was getting ready to go to college and leave all the immature boys from my hometown behind

[tabbyradburn]

I know this one girl who dated my best friend (best guy friend) and it lasted only 3 days, and the next day she was basically all over another guy. Jeez...she's had like...30 boyfriends since 5th grade, and we're only in the middle of 7th grade. (My friend counted. 0_0) I felt sorry for my bgf. ='(

[xLil SweetnezZx]

I H A T E it when my friends get on like that >.< They've all had boyfriends and girlfriends in the third grade and they think of it seriously.....I think they need help. =D
