How young is too young for kids to start going out or dating?

Started by LLLLLink6 pages

I guess I'll give the responsible answer no one wants to hear:

"Son, you can date date when you're ready to support a wife and you are prepared for a child." At least that's what they told me. 😐

In 8 days, yeah. It's too late, though. I'm scarred for life. I now continue my meager existence as a celibate. Woe is me.

Haha, you think this is a new thing? It isn't.

Kids have been 'dating' at that age for a long time now. I had my first boyfriend when I was 12 (he got mad at me because I wouldn't kiss him, though). My sister is 18 now and has been going out with her boyfriend since she was just barely 15. Pretty much everyone I know dated in middle school.

Not a big deal, and not new.

I think part of it if it is as young as eight that it would consider puppy love not love.And it was not going on when I was a kid in grammer school in the eightys.

It probably was and you didn't notice it. Because it certainly did when I was in elementary school in the 90s.

Also, dating does not equal love.

I guess but I still think it got younger as the years go by.It is pretty sad how kids are starting to act more grownup and is not enjoying being a kid anymore.
I thought guys was yucky until I was fifteen.

Things take their natural path, even young kids like 11 have "boy-Girl friends", but they don´t really know what it´s about. When they reach 14 or 15 it can go pear shaped with em trying things out a la "doctor games" . Each kid is different maturity wise, so a good education and common sense helped by parental advice is a good way.

I don't get this at all: by 8, I knew every last little thing about the birds and the bees: sperm, eggs, gestational periods, zygotes, 23 chromosomal pairs, etc. Before then, I knew that the genitals had meet up for the baby time creation adventures.

By 14, if you don't know how to make a baby, that's just sad...even for a Mormon. 313

Edit - Just asked my son, he's 6. I asked him how babies are created. He said that a mom and dad have to sleep in the same bed. I've never talked to him about hte birds and the bees and my son is average intelligence.

I doubt that at the age of 8 you knew about the biology behind reproduction... Other than maybe the sperm and the egg.

Not that you'd need to... At 14 you should though, without question...

No, my knowledge was pretty solid at that point. I was taking highschool biology at 8. 😬 I was homeschooled.

Ah right, fair enough then. I can't quite remember when we learned about the full workings, I think it was about Year 6... 10-11.

Obliviously every kid in the school knew what sex was before that though. We were children, that sort of shit was funny.

That's it: year 6 (or 5th grade for the Americans).

My point is, 14 is much too old to not know what to do.

haha, lol. Point.

So at some point, between 8-11, most children already know. I don't think it's odd that I knew at 8.

It's odd that you knew about the actually biology. 😛

Not that you knew how babies are made... I reckon most 8 year olds know about sex in one way or another.

Re: How young is too young for kids to start going out or dating?

I think we can all agree that 3 year olds should not date.

Each other, anyway.

It's possible he said that in jest.

Which would make him a jester.

If that word was still relevant in the modern era anyway.

Why do you all make me say stuff like that? Stop it.

Why not? Obviously they shouldn't be able to go out on dates unaccompanied and stuff... But two 3.y.os being "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" is harmless. It's not like it'll turn into anythign serious.

No I just did not find anyone I was interested in until then.

Well..you were certainly a very late bloomer.
