I, at one point, did have a boyfreind when i was 11. i was doing that knowing i wasent suppose to since my parents dident know and i wasent suppose to,or was allowed, have a boyfreind till the age of 18. regretting my actions, i broke up with him because i was under alot of guilt pressure,and i knew i was to young to know true love,and why would you want to date you dident really like? and even if your parents are allowing you to date,still,whats the point? the point,however,that im trying to make is that your to young to know true love even if you think he could be ''the one'',and are also to young to even find true love,so that would mean that there is no way you could actually like him,whoever he is. and so like i said,why would you wanna date someone you dident actually like?

I don't think anyone should date until they can support themselves first. They should also be able to know where they stand with God first off. If your confused or your not 100% sure of your salvation it could cause problems. You should really ask yourself what's the reason I am getting into a relationship with this person? Just because I like them and want to get to know them? Well how about this. . .develop a friendship and then maybe you can find out if your compatable. What's the reason to get into a relationship at 16/17/18 if your not ready to get married? All i'm saying is make sure you can handle all the responsibility that comes along with this stuff.

my little sister is 13 and she does the same thing (avoids the boyfriend issue) I think it is too young, especially in this day and age when people seem to so easily throw away their morality for fleshy desires and experimentation. The bible says that man and woman should leave their parents to become one in the flesh with each other. Soo lets work those two along in the same time frame... soooo 18?

Twelve years old definitely seems too young. The point of dating is to find someone to be married to, right? Well, I don't know if you plan on getting married soon or if you plan on "being together" with that person until you're ready to get married. I don't know of many people that have done that.
It may seem like everyone around you is dating, but I can assure you that they aren't, or if they are it's very shallow. My younger brother is eleven years old, and when people his age are "dating", it means that they pass a few notes in class and "break up" by recess.
Waiting to date is a good idea. I don't know about setting an age when you should start dating...it really depends on you and if you're close enough to God and if He thinks you're ready.

I think 12 years old is too young to have a boyfriend. In fact instead of running away from those guys that ask you out, try telling them too so that at least they know that it's not because you don't like them or anything. At this age, it's great godly friends that you need to keep you grounded in God's word. I've never had a boyfriend before either and my parents say I have to be 18 before I an date. Now that i'm 17, they want to push the age farther.LOL. I just focus on my work and on God. Get through Highschool and by the time you're heading to college and University, you're more mature. Hope that helps!!!

12 deffinatly is a bit young, you arent fully matured, and you probably still haven't figured out who YOU trully are yet. If you dont know these things, how are you going to be able to choose a guy for you? I also agree, what would you do? It just seems like a useless time to have a boyfriend. My rules for dating are: Can you see yourself with this person in 30 years? if no than don't even bother. if yea than, can I talk to this person about anything I need to? if no, than not the greatest idea, maybe mature more. and if yea, maybe it is something to consider.

Dating is meant to test and see if they are a potential spouse for you. So, if you're 12, you won't be thinking about marriage any time soon. I'd suggest 16-18 is where you should start, if you are serious about dating.
If you want to just date for fun, please remember that you're only setting yourself up to get your heart broken. Eventually you will break up and your feelings would get hurt, and you would have given a part of your heart away to someone other than your husband.
