When is a good age to actually start dating?

I don't mean what is happening in my class where it's a boy likes a girl and they text each other. I mean REAL dating like going out somewhere and kissing

i dunno...i mean im 14, and EVERY girl in my grade is all like 'ya me and my bf like were texting and he said good night at like 10 without me even saying it first like aww right!?!?!' WTF?!?!?! and then there are the super hoes who **** every guy they see. i dont really think its about age, i think that it is more about your maturity, and how ready you are to accept commitment. and an important thing....is u need to find a guy who really like you. even if you are 14 and there is just this guy who you talk to a lot and hang out with, and you have a bit of a crush on him, u should maybe if he like u back b together! wht i am trying to say is u should be friends with the guy b4 you know? anyways....i think im gonna say like 15-16 ish?? but its really about in what way you like the guy.

16. Because you're able to actually drive and take your date out somewhere.
