Dating age

What age did or will you allow your daughter to date? Will it be group dating or single?

Rule in my parents house was 16 and although I rolled my eyes and huffed and puffed, it was a good thing. I was never boy crazy and I really never got asked out (how sad, huh? LOL) so it really wasn't a big deal but it gave me something to look forward to.

 She has no interest yet. She's 12. I think probably 15 with a group. It will depend on how trustworthy she is before single dating, but probably 16.

Apparently my husband told my daughhter that we would consider it when she is 15.  News to me.  *laugh

 15 group dates, 16 solo dating

I think it really depends on the child's maturity.

I agree.

Quoting la_bella_vita:

That's a hard but good question.  I guess it will depend on her maturity level and if we think she is ready.

I was 16 when I was allowed to go on a real date with a guy. It will probably be the same for my daughters :)

No single dating till they are out of High School. They may group date at 16.  Though I will greatly discourage High School Boyfriends. They're nothing but trouble.

She is only 5, so I want to hide my head in the sand for a few more years.
