How old should you be....?

I just turned thirteen and am in the seventh grade and i was wondering when people should start dating or going out. Some of the "popular" kids in my class "date" but its not really dating. I dont want to feel left out though or be the last one to be asked out.

Update:

thank you all so much for your opinions!

    In that grade it isnt really dating. TRUST ME i know. You guys arnt little kids but your not adults. Dont worry about being left out on the whole dating thing. There is not a specific time when people should start dating but you have to ask yourself truthfully if you are ready yet, most people are not at that age (haha im still not and i am 15) and that is ok! good luck with everything!

    Ya I am in that same situation! ha.. I don't think it's dating either cause is all they do is text. So ya I don't think I will actually start "dating" a guy until him or I can drive (im 14) cause otherwise it doesn't really go anywhere. It is basicly a text relationship if you ask me. Hope I helped! good luck!

    I'm 13 and in 7th grade as well. you can go out with anyone you want to whenever you want to. If you're not ready to kiss or do other things, then just tell that guy you would rather take it slow :)

    maybe around 15 or so (that's for going out on dates, not being boyfriend+girlfriend)

    but, there is no real age. Just what society wants you to think.

    at our age (teenage years) dating isn't what it is when your an adult. when ur an adult u date to try to find ur partner for life. when ur young and a teen..ur basically looking for a friend that you kiss and slap the bf label...trust me as long as ur ready go for it... but don't take it too seriously...ull prob won't last till the end of ur days. just have fun!

    relationships shouldn't be about competition, to see who gets asked out first.

    i started going out with guys in the 7th grade.

    if you feel you are ready, go for itt.

    don't worry about what the other kids have to say about it.

    it's your life, live it the way you want (:

    listen you can date now. but waite till you are ready for a boyfriend. you will know when you are. if you get a bf to soon and he hurts you. you are just going to regret them for forever. so waite till you are ready.
