I am 11, and my mother says I am way too young to date. It’s not like I even know any boys, but still my mother and I always argue about it.
 

Dear Wants to Date,

Save your arguing for later. At 11 and even older, very few girls date. When you’re older and someone you like asks you out, ask for the go-ahead. Meanwhile, don’t spend today fighting about tomorrow.

Hey LoveU4Life, mhmm introducing them to someone you might change their mind. If they meet the guy you like in person, they'll see how great he is and change their minds. You could invite him and maybe even his parents over for dinner. Hope this helps! Xoxo

Hi I'm 15 (going on 16 in a few months) and I really like this guy who is shy, cute and a bit nerdy (which I like). But the thing is my parents won't allow me to date till i'm out of college!! I don't want to be in my mid 20's and trying to find my first boyfriend that might end up as my husband! For, me I think of dating as good practice for the future, but my parents think otherwise. I've tried to sit down with them and talk this over but they don't want to hear it! What should I do?? Frown Lynae P.

I like this guy but he's not the cutest guy on earth...(well i think he is(; ) but my friends make fun of me for liking him sometimes cuz he's not that cute and i get kinda embarrassed when they do that... what should i say back to them when it happens again?

 

Hey girl,


Who cares what they think? It's your life and you're allowed to like whoever you want! And personally I feel that the best kind of guys to date are not the most attractive ones, because other girls won't constantly be flirting with them. As long as you find the person attractive, other people's opinions don't matter. The next time your friends tease you about it, tell them you don't care what they think. Show them their teasing comments won't get to you. They'll stop after awhile. And if they don't, it sounds like they're not good friends.

Hey I'm 14 and I can date till I'm 16 and I don't mind I don't fill like I'm ready because the guys at my school are to in to them self's and more in to bad things to really do much and u need to drive out of town to do something fun. But I have never been asked out before and I don't know if its because they know I cant date or if its because of my dad if I was a guy I take one look at my dad a run for my life. Everyone says hes scary idk if that's y or what. I think u can date at any age but do u really want to kiss a guy at a young age like really the older u get the more u will under stand like u will become closer to guys and like them more then just friends. But wait till your ready to date. Don't just date because everyone else has a bf wait till ur guy comes for u if its at a party, school,dance,or the store he will come and you will be happy.
