I would just like to AGREE with you my dear friend... its not the age but the MATURITY of an individual. Though maturity might go with ones age but not always. I guess if a person is able to be MATURE enough for a MATURE responsibility then... he or she can enter a relationship such as having a boyfriend or girlfriend. :) Very interesting topic... as always. :) God bless you brow

My step daughter who is now 23 but she got married at the age of twenty my fiancee usually ask her are you happy. She will only answer her mom back I love him so much. But were happy seeing them that after 2 years they have their own house and they are ready to face life together matured way. His husband and her are both working in a call center. Now were asking her so don't you have plans having a baby. She tells us that will come, but later and not soon. For both of them their baby is the youngest daughter of my fiancee who is 14 now. She picks her up or I'll bring her to her ate's place. She tells me I miss home Tito, I miss all of you, but I am happy now this where I belong now with my husband jp. Have a nice day to you brow!

there's no right age of having a boyfriend or girlfriend.it is right that if a person is able to take care of himself/herself.even you tell your son/daughter that they are still not allowed to have a relationship,they will still follow what they feel.especially in this generation.it's more worst if they will hide things from you.you keep believing that your son/daughter still dont have a boyfriend/girlfriend but the truth is,they are just hiding it from you.its better to be open minded and open with each other.in that way,you still can guide your son/daughter and you can give them tips on how to handle a good relationship.

Well if that happens to me having my daughter into a relationship that I know she's still childish I rather not know his bf anymore. I always hear my fiancee who has a daughter who settled down early at the age of 20 never blame me, you went to that relationship alone, so you have to learn life to attend to your husband. Now she changed a lot she knows how to cook and prepare food for him. They already have their own house by now. But their are younger couples who think it was so easy to go in and wants to get out of it. Some are lucky some are not. Have a nice day to you!

I think at least 18 years old, and must be responsible enough to handle a relationship.

i agree with you. i think that it doesn't matter the age of the person, it matters when they are able to feel that wonderful feeling that you get when you're "in love". it takes a big responsiblity to love someone so when someone is ready to make that decision by themselves and take on the consquences i believe that is when their ready to have a girlfriend or boyfriend who they can truely care for.

That depends upon the culture, really. Here in the Philippines most parents think that it is best for the children to have a boy or girlfriend after graduating from college but for me anything is fine. I had a boyfriend at 14!

Well parents knows what is right for their children and best for them. It's easy to get into a relationship but handling it it's not easy. Parents wants to see that having a degree for their daughter or son if they settle down they could be alright. No parents would want something for there children that they will suffer in the end. Have a nice day to you!

Nowadays, it is hard to tell what is the right age of having a bf or gf because even elementary students already have bfs/gfs. I never had a bf when i was in high school or never even tried to like somebody because my plan was to enter in a relationship at the age of 25. But then i met a foreign guy online at the age of 19(he was 38 at that time) we fell inlove with each other and so we get married when i turned 21. So far everything is ok with my married life. So, we cannot really plan evrything or should i say everything will not result as planned. Nowadays the youngsters are hot and agressive. They enter a relationship without thinking. That's why, nowadays the "hopes of the future" are now the mothers/fathers of "Orphans"

Well your husband is lucky for you. Cause some girls doesn't know the consequences of their actions. Your lucky cause he really loves you and married you, but not all situation falls that way. Yes you said that right that now a days the youngsters are hot and aggressive and when they get to problems like being pregnant they don't know what to do and feeling sorry for them/ Anyway have a nice day to you! Keep on smiling!

I think you are right when the person is able to take care of herself/himself & are independent means they have a good carrier in their hands then they can have their girlfriends/boyfriends.
In India what I have seen is young boys/girls of schools and colleges are busy in their boyfriends or girlfriends and even not loyal to them and keep flirting with others
I think Maturity is necessary before going for any boyfriend/girlfriend
