13 is the starting age but I'd recommend maybe like 14-15

I'm 18 and still never dated past the little middle school thing where you date but you only see each other in 1 class and break up the next week lol. Only "dated" once, but really to me there is no right age to start. If you feel a connection at 12, go for it. Maybe 7 is a little young, but who knows.

Had my first serious relationship at 16, and 2 years later we're still going strong.

Went on my first date when I was 14 because I was working at the time. I went and seen a movie with a girl that I wasn't really interested in so didn't think of it as a date, but apparently it was. Went on my first proper date when I was 16 with a girl I'd been seeing for a few weeks. Never really enjoyed the dating thing, I just like hanging out with chill people so I've not been on a date since and don't intend on going on any dates again.

I've only been on a couple actual dates. I was 14 I think, we went to the movies, the usual lame shit.
If I was a parent I know I wouldn't want my kid dating until at least high school lmao.

Id say around 15 or 16. dating in elementary is like sharing the same juice box and eating animal crackers tbh.

16-17 at the minimum imo because there's to many young pregnancies and people aren't actually aware of the consequences of doing "grown up activities" and people have no way to support kids or anything at that young an age and all from just "dating".

i dated when i was 8 i knew what was what but mainly whenever you feel like you know the time is right

Loaded question.

You are ready to do something when YOU are ready, not when time dictates you're ready.

My rabbi says I need to find a nice jewish girl, hopefully from the bronx or Brooklyn. I pray my ma likes her and makes her great gefilte fish and potato pancakes
