what age?

I think 14-15 years ...not younger...

I am the mother of two little girls who are 3 and 4 years old. I can't really put an age requirement on dating because all children are different and they mature differently. My guess would be around 16 years old, but this would only be an estimate. Before they'd be allowed to "date" I would have to meet the person, but this isn't just with dating. I want to know who my children will be around and how they'll be spending their time. Most importantly, I hope that my kids will be responsible and I'd be watching their grades at school.

I think that age 16 years would be the right time for my older son to get a girlfriend if he wishes. At the moment he is 15 years old and he is working hard at studying right now. He is trying to do well at his exams. My younger son is disabled so it will depend what is he like when he is a teenager. My daughter is a baby at the moment so it will also depend on what she is like. I imagine she will be sensible when she gets to 16 years old.

I think it also depends on their maturity level. If they are mature enough, I will allow it at 16. =)

I think the age to have boy friend or girl friend is 18 years old.In that age,the children become mature and judge right by themselves.But the fact is opposite to the truth.Sometimes you can not control this situation.

atleast 16 both for douter and son because after that they will mature

I have to say maybe around 16, this is the best age to explore, learn, fail etc. But I would be a very strict mother at this stage. My daughter is still young. I just want her to have the idea and I would try my best to guide her all the way. I don't want her to make mistakes that she will regret for the rest of her life.. just enjoy that stage and of course everything has limitations so yeah, her daddy would know what to do if she would be overjoyed. LOL!

I dont have kids yet but I dont know what age I should allow them to have a bf/gf. Its okay with me if they are going to date somebody but not really getting a boyfriend right away. Dating is such an important part of deciding on having a boyfriend or girlfriend. I should encourage them to date.

I am parent now my son is just 8 yrs old and sooner he will be in his adolescence stage. I would not deprive him of such experience, if just in case he will have gf at early age. I would support him and give him word of advices to always be careful. And I also would like to meet the gf. I would not be strict with him when it come to that aspect. I would be open and I would like him to be open to me as well. So that prevention is already there than cure it.

I don't think there is any correct age, but rather what "dating" involves. If it involes being in a public place, outing, restaurant, dance etc. then I wouldn't treat it any different to normal freinds. But if its plans to spend time alone together then I would prefer my daughter to be at least 16.
