Why 16 or seventeen? I think it's silly. You should start dating when you feel like you're ready for a serious relationship. It's not age dependent, but it's rather your what and how you feel about initiating such a relationship. Remember, it's not a game, not an experiment. It's not fair to experiment with people's feelings, but if you feel like you're ready for a relationship, go ahead. I'm 22, but I still don't feel mature and brave enough to initiate a romantic relationship. (plus I don't have the confidence to do that, but that's another story)

You should talk to kids when they are asking questions. If a 4 year old asks where babies come from, you tell them using age appropriate language, but correct terminology. As they get older and closer to puberty, you should give them more information so they know what to expect. I would say before they are teens you should have the full sex conversation. Kids now are having oral sex as young as 10 and 11, so if you wait, chances are they'll get their information from peers and not you.\n\n\nBk's Mom said it very well down there ...that's exactly what my mom did and it lead to an open dialogue between us through my teen years, and I think worked very well

sex isn't just an act there are emotions that will go along with being with someone in this way . If he really loves you he will wait dont comprimise your morals  your only a virgin once once you have you cant go back  yes you can remain from having sex but your so young sex will always be there. i dont know him  but the guys i dated will tell you what ever it takes to get you into bed the good ones wont pressure you    i know  its hard  we have all been there   also if you happen to get prenant are you really ready for  all that respnsiblity  it will change your life .  some people are more mature than others at this age  just write down your thoughts  maybe seeing it on paper will help you decide    go talk to girls your age and get there input the ones that have babies on just the ones that have been through this stuff   you said you have morals and goals    if you are a religious person  go talk to a  teen  counselor than can help without judging  you . and if your parents  change their mind and decide to press legal charges against him because of his age  prison isnt going to be a place for him    dont risk  doing that to him     even if you dont want them to they can still override  and go to the law    i'm  not trying to scare you  just want you to get all the  facts before you make the decision   i wish someone would have told me about all the emotionally things that go along with sex    i have been with several  guys  when i was your age  i'm 20 something   and i still have  emotions from my first time  and  the times after  that.  there is so much life to experience  take it and run but be carful.

As to how you date, it depends on your culture. In the US, you ask her to go to dinner and a movie. Meet her parents, make polite conversation for 5 - 10 minutes, tell them when you will be home.\n\nFeeling comfortable is a matter of not pushing. Don't try to [hold hands / kiss / have sex] on the first night, for instance, again depending on your culture. Ask her about her interests instead of talking about yours.\n\nDepending on your age and experience, she will probably be as nervous or not nervous as you. Two 16-year olds are ALWAYS nervous. A 40-year old divorced man and a 40-year old widow should be less nervous; they have seen more of life. If you are a 40-year old divorced man dating a 16-year old, you should not; pick someone within 5 years of your own age.

When you feel its right. Not on the first date and make sure you know their sexual history and that they are disease free.

Judging from this board, I'd say it's because 12 year olds seem to think they need a sexual relationship.  If you start before you are mentally mature, how can the act of sex have any real meaning?  It's just something to do for most of them it seems.

There is no magic age (except 18) :) It is okay to wait. Despite the message of the "new virgin" crowd you really only do get one first time. Once you are in a relationship with someone that you care about (beyond just a physical attraction), then consider it. You will be in a very vulnerable emotional and physical position, and you have to absolutely trust your partner. Has he/she been honest about his/her past or disease status? Is he/she really committed to you or is he/she just trying to get in your pants? Once you can pose these (and other) questions, and know in your heart that you have gotten and honest answers, then it is too soon for you no matter what your age.

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.

16\n\nI think one can go out with friends at a younger age, but true "dating" shouldn't start until around the age of 16.

Don't know how old you are, I'm figuring sexteen or seventeen. Take is slow, there is no rush.

Nope, Age doesn't matter. If the relationship is good, that's all that matters. As long as you are both ready for every step together (Kissing, sex, marraige kids).

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

17.  At the time it seemed right but it did not last. Typical in youth relationships.\n\nYou want to be mature enough to handle the consequences of having sex. Liek STD, pregnancy, etc. Even if you protect yourself you have risks. Do not feel pressured into it and know that yu have your life ahead of you, Choose wisely it only gets better.

its different for every age. if you are 13 then no one over 15. if you are 14 then no one over 16. if you are 15 or 16 no one over 18. if you are 17 then no one over 20. if you are 18 then no one over 25. after that then you are on your own. That might sound a little strick but its always better to date kids your own age just so you dont get in an abusive relationship and get used.

11 to date Not necessarily you have to have sex to date. When I had my first boyfriend I was not 11 of course it was a serious relationship. Of course, I didn't have sex or anything else it was just like holding hands, kiss in the check that was all. NO more than that probably it was more like a friend to me. But still at that age you really consider them your boyfriend.
