More specifically, dating in elementary and middle school. It's just so weird to hear people talking about how much they love their partner when we're literally like... 13-14 years old (and younger). It's weird. It makes me feel uncomfortable. We're not old enough to know whether or not we're in love. And sometimes we exaggerate how much we love our partner. So why do we say it?
We start to actually mature and handle more intense and mature situations and emotions in high school. That's when dating is probably okay. That's when I'll start dating, if at all. But dating before high school is weird, whether it's an online or real-life relationship. It feels weird. It's weird. -
That is weird. I didn't go on a date till I was 16 and didn't have a boyfriend till I was 17

i agree with you.
hell, i'm not dating till i'm 20. -
I only started dating when I was 18
I seriously think dating when you are 12-16 is wrong, you just won't know what is expected and it will just be like a game and I think this is how players and sluts show up eventually -
You're generlizing too much with the "we", people mature at different ages.

^tHANK YOU GOD OMG FINALLY
You have no say for other people in the same age group as you. People have different experiences than others. Even if they f--- up and do stupid s---, it's apart of growing up, learning, breaking obstacles, and feeling new things. Sometimes it leads into adult hood, but so what? -
I did date them. I was about 12, but those were the last people I've dated since. Never since then have I ever been romantically involved with anyone.
And I know I don't have a say, but I'm just giving my input. I just think it's weird. Is it stopping you? No, so why are you so mad?
And yes, Lions. People sure do mature at different ages. Yes. My peers are so mature. Yes. Yup. Allow me to remind you that these peers of mine are also those who will willingly fight each other over wearing the same shirt and shade of eye shadow. This actually happened once. These peers of mine are those who will also send obscene pictures of themselves to their partners who've they have only been dating for four weeks. Yes, this actually happened once. And, oh! Coincidentally, the peers that don't do these types of things are also the ones that don't date. But this is just an observation from my school, I'm sure it's different elsewhere. -
Oh, well in that case I understand

I think the way it's happened with me is the way to go about it--at any age-- Get to the point of being very close friends before you date someone. It lasts longer and isn't quite as weird, and/or awkward. Take Savannah and I for example. We knew each other for nearly a year before we became more than friends, and we were already close before anyway. Had none of the stuff with our parents happened due to ( honestly misplaced) concerns, we'd probably still be like we were months ago. Yeah, we had our arguments but after each one it was almost like it never even happened. It did and would quite well between us, but only because we'd already grown close beforehand. Growing close during a relationship is way harder to keep stable, I've seen it happen all too many times that people try to do that and it just doesn't end up well. I say this at 15, most of the learning of all of it happened when I was 14, so I'd say that yeah, most people younger than hs age are weird when it comes to relationships, but thats probably because they haven't figured out the most successful route yet.

I started dating in October 2015 when I was 12 and 3 weeks later I turned 13. And I knew my girlfriend very well before I started to date her, I knew her for about 3 or 4 months. I've had a few arguments with her, but I still love her. She is the only person I have dated.
And at my school a lot of people have boyfriends or girlfriends and they are only around 12 or 13.
Yes maybe it is weird to date before high school even though in the UK High school starts at age 11, but some people prefer to be in a relationship at around aged 12-14. I would probably not be in a relationship, but I found a girl that I love so I decided to be in a relationship
