Ctf Official Dating Debate

What age is appropriate to date?

Personally I think it goes with the maturity of the person. B)

I definitely think it has to do with maturity as to whether or not you're ready to date, but at the same time I still think there are certain ages where I honestly think you shouldnt be getting really serious about someone...

Maturity has alot to do with it, but at the same time, if I had a 12 year old daughter who was very mature, I still wouldn't let her date. I think 15 is a nice age to let dating begin. Or whenever you begin high school. Jr. High dating is just plain retarded.

Thats what I meant by certain ages. I know 13 year olds who think that who theyre with is going to end up being the person they spend the rest of their life with which is just crazy(not that its completely impossible)....and no offense to anyone around that age. but honestly especially with younger teens (psh even for me being 16) you still have a lot of growing up to do and latching yourself on to someone else can mess up priorities and cause a lot of unneeded complications

I think it's silly to date before your allowed to drive, and after that base it on maturity of the teen.

I think 15 is a good bf gf age, but then my brother was more mature than most 15 year olds.

I don't believe in "dating" as in "steady dating". (call me old-fashioned if it so pleases you to do, but I'm stickin' w/it) I believe, as in "date", in "group dating" and in "casual dating". I personally prefer "courting". (I know people will want to blow me outa the water w/this one)

[seashellz06]

^Eh, I won't. I think courting is cool but not a lot people (at least that I know of) agree with it. I still agree with steady dating though but an old fashioned courtship would be super sweet and awesome too.

[Jenny]

Courting rocks! Lol, it's my prefered method of dating.

well my sister just married her new husband, who she had been dating since she was 13 years old. it's all about whether your willing to not be selfish and work through any kind of problems together, whether your 13, or 30.
