    A good age to start dating and to actually have a legitimate girlfriend/boyfriend is like 15 or 16.

    We of the large footed and hairy tribe think if a 12 year can make down to the seven eleven and back without attracting human attention, then they are old enough to date.

    No doubt you humans have some ceremony to mark the maturity of your younger members. oops Gotta go! photographers! bf

    lol 6yr olds have started dating haha but i think when u are mature enough to know when things are getting out of control or you are feeling uncomfortable about the relationship, its all about maturity and if u are mature about being in a relationship and if you cant stop thinking about the person you like :) but i'd say when ur 16-17 :)

    My parents would say officially 16 and supervised 18 unsupervise but no sexually content, but 14 and 15 i can have a crush and hold hands.

    Well i think at least 15 but we have to be trustworthy to our parents and each other.And maturity and respect is what counts most!

    I hope this helped!

    As long as you're mature enough to handle a relationship and commit to it and the person. But I would say at least 16. That's when I see relationships actually become serious.

  • Whenever they learn their value , and know that they are '' fearfully & wonderfully made '' . When they respect themselves enough to understand they can handle themselves and interacting w/ others . Some people are 40 , 50 years old and don't respect themselves , and some people are 9 , 10 years old and understand their value and worth . It's all about your upbringing and maturity .

    whenever they start liking the opposite sex, honestly I don't know why people are so against people dating when they're younger it's not like two 13 yr olds are going to be having sex or anything probably just hold hands in the hallway or something
