My wife disagrees with me, but I say 21. Just kidding, I think for one on one dating they should be at least 15 or 16, if they are just hanging out in groups and maybe talking on the phone 13 or 14.

At 12 years old, she has probably only recently discovered boys and it is not unusual for kids her age to be "going steady" - which basically means they see the other person at school, the mall or parties, talking on the phone, passing notes, etc. At 12 - 13 I would be okay with group activities (large groups of both girls and boys) as long as there is an adult present, at 14 double dates and at 15 dates with curfew (and of course I'd have to meet them and approve).

Best of luck with one of the most trying times you'll ever go through!!!

I think this is pretty spot on. There definitely needs to be more supervision early on in the process to make sure good values and practices are instilled on your child. After they have gotten older, have matured (hard word to use for such a young age..heh) more and have learned more then you can start to step back and let them go a bit.

When you feel you can trust her (and her significant other has passed the gauntlet of challenges you have placed before them) then you can start to allow full dates with of course the curfew sherryl mentioned above.

I started having boyfriends at 12 and frankly it was too young. These days I believe things are worse. I think it is OK to talk on the phone with a boy at this age, but not much else, unless it is a group activity. I would say at least 14 but I hope mine kids don't want to date till they are at least 15 or 16.

I would have to say 16. Thats how old I had to be and even then I was interested.! lol. I was not your typical teenager. You just got to be really careful now days. Its just not like it used to be. Its nothing to see a 12 year old girl pregnant anymore.

Well my niece is 13 and has a boyfriend. Basically it means they talk with each other on the phone, walk with each other at school, and do some activities on the weekend. He usually comes over here and they talk or go for walks. Nice thing is it makes her keep her room clean lol. They might play basketball or watch a movie but nothing too serious. They will be going to the 8th grade formal together. I don't see a problem with it. They are mostly just hanging out together and calling it dating.
