Dating
Dating seems like a big thing in schools and life for young teens and adults nowadays. I've even wanted to date once. But this is an opinion I've had for quite a while now.

I've been thinking about some of the dating between the ages of 13 and younger. I can't decide whether dating around those ages is good or bad,so I choose neutral. I just want to know your opinions (If I posted in the right section of course). And please, post here if there is already a thread about this and give me a link where it is.

Good and bad reasons of dating under the age of 13:

Good Reasons: I believe that dating under the age of 13 (Or of course at the age of 13)can be necessary. It can teach us young teens what a relationship can be like, and teaches a bit of maturity. It's natural for children around the age of 11-13 to grow an greater attraction to the opposite sex. Some grow interest at a younger age.

Bad Reasons: Dating around 11-13 can also cause a few broken hearts for the ones who can't handle it. I think there are very few of these people that get broken hearted. Probably half, I'm not sure. Sometimes, it can also teach a few kids how to cheat. Around my school, a lot of the relationships ended because of either the boy's or girl's low amount of commitment to their partner, and one of them would secretly run off to another person. I've witnessed this multiple times. Or sometimes, the couple could just get bored of each other. Or one could get bored of the other and break up with him/her.

And then again, I might have no idea what I'm talking about. As said before, this is just an opinion. I've never dated, because I feel I'm not ready for a relationship. I need to become less hard on myself before I can date someone. What type of girl would want to listen to a guy hate on himself?

Point blank, I want your opinion. Dating: Good,Bad,or neutral?

I will view this post fairly often. Thank you for your patience if you read this post. ^^.

Dating is good, it's a fine product of modern times. You can't live in the stone age forever where you just bash the chick in the head with your wooden club and drag her into the cave for some bum-bum.
Now to be serious, I don't think anyone should start a relationship before high school. It's pointless, it would be just a child's play. You have to be mature before starting such a thing, and sometimes that doesn't even happen in HS, judging by some of the people amongst my friends, and their ridiclously short-lived and childish relationships.
I consider myself mature, and I was looking for a girl who is at the same level as me, and luckily, I have already found the one I was looking for. It might not last for an eternity, since all relationships have problems, but I'm pretty sure it's going to last long (well, it did so far and it's been 2 years now).
@ May0naise

I see your point there, but it doesn't really apply to a lot of people.Just 75% of them. Indeed they will get over it, but sometimes it scars them. Leaves a mark. They may change in a way you can't recognize or they may just get depression. But I believe your opinion. just not entirely.

@Ynvaser

I agree.

@May0naise Maybe not 75%....maybe like 80-90% :I.

Hmm....I see....Well that's good. No illogical comments or opinions. Thanks guys ^^.

@grrmoo
I agree with you break up=experience idea. Cause in a way, it does give you experience. Later on you'll get a wife and know a bit more about having a relationship.
@rappunk
Very well said sir :].

@Gorman
Maybe. I think it's okay at 15 as well though.
