The most conventionally appropriate age to start dating is at 18 years. This is the appropriate age to start dating because by then, you are mature enough to overcome emotional vulnerabilities that come with dating. Dating incorporates bliss and hurt in equal measure mostly and hence beginning earnest dating at an earlier immature stage is setting yourself up for a lifetime of hurt because it will impact your general relationship genealogy in life.

16 - practice dates ... as in only DATES! ... No "going steady" until you're 21.

I think 15 or 16 b/c if you say no to the kids then they go behind your back and you don't want that

When your parents agree to let you date ... or when you're mature enough to move out on your own and take responsibility for your life.

Whenever you're mature enough to make smart decisions and deal with the consequences if the person you're dating doesn't. I think you need to have a good self image too. If you don't like yourself yet, how can you expect someone else to?

Depends on your personal level of maturity, and on the rules your parents have established for your protection. Some people are mature enough to start dating at 14 or 15, others not until they're older. Trust your parents on this one-they know you best.

I say around 15, but not really seriously. Just as in the little cute relationships.

No....
dating leads to kissing and kissing leads to touching and touching leads to sex and sex leads to a baby at a young age

... then I did a *lot* of dating wrong.
Because I managed to control my urges for touching and sex, even while dating.

Ya none of that leads to none of that. Those are just stereotypes for old people
