I'd say 16 or 17, but it really depends on if they're mature enough to handle the complexities of a relationship. I know that girls aren't THAT mature at that age, but it's good if they know some self-defense techniques at least, first.

wow that is a tough one. I am a mother of two girls, they are way to young to date currently but I think that once we were about a sophomore in High school it was okay, but I knw that my parents let me go to dances with boys when I was a freshman in high school. I could go out with a group of boys and girls when I was in Junior high but I went to catholic school most of my life so I never really was into dating until I was a sophomore in high school anyway because I went to school with the same 12 boys from K through 8th grade...they tend to just be like a brother at that point in your life.

I think 17 or 18 unsupervised. I guess 15 or 16 if supervised. It would all depend on the maturity and responsibility of the child. Some children might not be ready for the pressures of dating until their early 20's, and yes I know they are adults then.

16 if it is with a group of friends, and then 18 just the 2 of them.

Never! lol...seriously though, I think it'll depend on the level of responsibility and maturity of my daughters. Right now they are 9 and 7. Before 16yo I don't think I'd let them go out on a date without friends with them as well. After 16 I think I'd let them go out on a date with a boy alone. I'd like them to wait until 17yo or older before getting serious with any boy- I want them to know that they don't NEED to have a boyfriend (or man later on), they can feel happy and complete without one.

Oh geesh.. i think that depends on your child .. if they are responsible and i would def. have to see who was taking her out .. and where.. but i think i would start letting my child go out around the age of 14-15.. but only on double dates and after i met the guy i would let her go on single dates.. of corse this would be me droping them off and picking them up .. so i know where they are and everything ..
