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

Also, in your perspective, girls dating by 16 is no good because they "aren't mature enough", but apparently you think that at 16 they are mature enough to get married, which is so bizarre I can hardly believe it.

In her defense, some people are not ready to date no matter how old they are.

On the other hand, some "kids" are ready to date around 10. Depends on the maturity.

Most, I'd say, are ready to date at 16.

What is "ready", though? It's personal opinion on maturity, really.

All you do is insist that things "used to be better" and offer no substantiation for your claims in any way, nor have you even told me WHY you don't think 16 year olds are mature enough, when you have heard numerous accounts of people having relationships successfully at that time or even younger. And I have the feeling that's because you know that you don't really have a "reason", you just have this gut feeling that since not everyone is as conservative as you, people must be getting less moral.

By all concrete measures, this is the best it's ever been. The "good old days" is a fantasy world.

Well, she could use Teen Pregnancy rates, STD rates, length of marriage numbers, etc. But, I could prolly criticize each of those numbers' validity and say the "conclusions" are built on a false premise of "later dating". (i.e. a "social" phenomena almost completely mutually exclusive to "dating age."😉

WTF? Double post. I was not paying attention.

Apologies.

Sure, but I have difficulty imagining what personal opinion would result in the conclusion "dating = bad, marriage = OK".

That's easy: arranged marriage cultures. awesome

I believe there are numbers out there that show that arranged marriages last longer than voluntary marriages. But, I don't know if these numbers are controlled for (same country, same environments (religion, age...bla bla bla)).

Also, check my edit.

Nah, she's only 7. But, if she was old enough to date..the guy would be too scared of the shotgun I'd be pointing in his face.

i wouldnt want to know my daughter is dating or having sex at any age. that doesnt mean i wouldnt teach her to have respect for herself and know when guys are being punks and know the difference between a man and a boy.

the best you can do is teach your kids your values and hope they make right choices ...... with how kids act nowadays i wouldnt want a daughter. instead of a handshake it seems to be a BJ... no respect for themselves

I operated under the impression that, since you opened up the shotgun scenario, we were in a make belief world, perhaps 8 or 10 years in the future where her boyfriend was threatened by you. Unless you make a habit out of threatening 7 year old boys with weapons?

Dude, I know what you meant. I was just messin' with you. I don't even have a daughter.

😆

That is what my older brother said if any boy goes near my niece who is twelve and I believe that he would do that too.

I think16 is the correct age to start dating not that im a dating expert or anything.
Heck i dont think ive ever been out on a proper date in my life especially not the wine & dine type of dates.
Im the type of guy that's very straight to the point when it comes to dating in which i'll tell the woman in particular that im chasing if she wants to hang out with me, if they yes then that great & if they no then i'll just move on.
I cannot stand women who dont put out on the first time you get together with them, ive had enough of that bullshit to be honest with you.
Ive always enjoyed being single & i'll never wanna be tied down to just one woman, that unless you wanna talk about marriage.

Huh.

Interesting and woman or girls for that matter should not put out on the first date but wait until they get to know that person better or in my case wait until you are married before you sleep with them.

Well in my case women SHOULD put out on the first time i get together with them. Im sick of wasting time with girls who just wanna hang out with me but not have any sex. Those girls are lame and boring.
I remember i was with this girl one time for around 2 months and she use to moan and groan all the time about that she wanted to remain a virgin until she got married. I lost complete interest in her even though she had all the exotic features that i prefer.

You will be presuring them and also showing that it is all about sex and not love.Doing this you will most likly not to be able to hold on to a girl at all or marry one.

I dont know about that, but you see for me i prefer to have love in order to get sex.
Life's too short to be looking for love for me anymore.
