It depends on the people in the relationship. If both people are mature mentally it doesn't matter what age you are. I know plenty of people who are old enough to be in a relationship but not mature enough to handle it.

What a TRUCKLOAD of wisdom you just imparted! Age is a mindset....Maturity is a lifestyle! Thanks for putting the question into perspective! Cheers!

i know that you are going to have a lot of differnet opinions on this but i don't really think that you can find a "right age" i mean natually when your under like 15 or so probably not, but when you get old enough you really can't control that because i have known of people that got together when they were like sixteen and they are still together and they've been married for years...i mean i don't honestly think anyone can say i won't get into a serious relationship or love someone until i am so old because i don't think that you can always control the way that you feel about someone!

I think 27 or 28 is the right age to be caught in a serious relationship.

What is being 'caught' in a serious relationship? Anyway, I don't think there is a right age. Whenever you think you are mature enough, I guess.

I agree with the others. Age is not the basis when or how serious a relationship is. It is up to us how to handle our respective relationships that will eventually grow and mature into a serious one.

I don't think there is the "right" age for relationships, any age will do. My nearly 79 year old mother, for example, just got into a relationship with somebody who is 85 years old and the two are happy!

Although many people have been in them at much younger ages and they have lasted through the years. I think about the mid 20's is the best if you find someone you love then. By then hopefully you have finished unversity and have a good job and most of the needs are met. And you can concentrate on your relationship.

There is no right age to engage in serious relationship but I would really advise not to engage in serious relationship too early in life because many people are still immature and are unable to understand each other and to respect each other's freedom.

I think it depends on the person but I personally think around twenty five sounds good. That way you both have time to mature and find what it is you want in life. Cheers, Tianna

According to me it should be after graduation as you'll not need to work hard for education as you'll be well matured and experienced with lot of education. So from that time onwards you'll have to find a good partner and definetely you'll judge probably well before choosing your partner. Bye.

I think that age doesn't matter it's the maturity that counts. I know of some people who got into a relationship as early as 15 years old and they lasted for almost ten years before they got married. I think that in a relationship what matters is the maturity to take care and to love your partner.

personally i started to be involve with someone at the age of 18.but it doesn't mean that we do those things.But you're asking a serious relationship i would say 24 because you are old enough to know and weight things before doing it.In the situation of our economy right now one should be careful on what to do .don' rush to things which you might regret at the end.Enjoy life before getting involve to a serious one at least you could compare each situation.

there is no particular age set as the right time to get into a serious relationship. no matter how old or how young a person is, the ability in handling serious relationship depends on the person's maturity to handle each step of the way leading to it.
