My mom says I'm too young to date!

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.

Umm, Im 11 too and I admit I like boys, but 11is still too young to date! Wait until your bf has a car and then you can go on an actual date! Until then, flirt away! Smile

MOD MOD MOD....ok well there's this guy who likes me and I like him back he always smiles and sometimes tries to talk to me but when he does someone always gets in the way and ends the conversation. How do I talk to him without doing something weird or dumb and getting nervous because whenever I try to talk to him I do something weird or just freeze there & say nothing..please help Smile

 

Hey girl,

Try talking to him when there aren't a lot of people around so that you won't get interrupted. Just try to relax when you talk to him- it might help to take a big deep breath before you go over to him. Ask him how his weekend was, or if he's seen that hilarious movie you just saw the other day.

MOD MOD MOD!! I have a similar problem. I'm 13 and I want to be able to date/ have a boyfriend. Me and my mom aren't super close. How do I talk to my mom about it without it being to awkward??
Thanks!!
Callie

 

Hey girl,

Just say "Hey mom, I feel that I'm old enough to start dating but I just wanted to make sure that you're ok with it." Hopefully your mom will be supportive! Smile

Girls where I live "date" in grade school now and I think it's ridiculous! I mean what happened to the good ole' fashioned cooties anyway? They take it seriously too, as if a fifth grade boyfriend is the love of their life. I think kids should just take the time to be kids...

MOD MOD MOD! so theres this boy...but theres this other boy too! lets call them s and j. So s likes me...his parents wont let him date for 2 more years. i think hes really nerdy buuut he makes me happy and i think his nerdiness is knda cute. but then theres j who ive liked for a couple months. he flirts with me all the time but idk if its a joke cuz hes kinda way outta my league. i dont know what to do! i like them both but i cant date s for 2 more years so i dont see a point in going for him till later. so it seems logical to go for j. but i really like s too! what should i do?!

 




Well i would go for who ever makes you happier. If s makes you way happier then stick with him despite the 2 years because flirting or going for j may put him off and make him stop liking you. However its your choice and if i were you i would go for whoever i like more. xoxo kerra
