Dating norms?

Ok...well i've noticed that the age for actual dating is getting a lot younger.
I mean, it used to be that at the age of 15 [or older] that you get your first kiss...and now if you haven't been kissed by the age of 12, it makes you some kind of freak!!...
For example...you now hear about 10 year olds that have boyfriends or girlfriends. I am wondering if this is just "puppy love" or actual "dating".
Truth be told....I have never felt compelled to date and feel that it is unnecessary to "rush" things. I am only 16 so sure I have not had a lot of like experience. I just feel though, that the pressure to be dating at a increasingly younger age is rediculous.
I'm not entirely sure where I am going with this but I may aswell finish off by saying...
*What do you think of the whole "normal dating standards"?
*If you have had a boyfriend/girlfriend, what age was your first one?
*If not, at what age did you feel like you "should" be having a relationship with someone?

1. What are the "normal dating standards"? It's not like there's an official published list.
2. First boyfriend at 13 (he was 14, it lasted all of 4 months).
3. Dunno. I was the first among my friends to start dating. Most didn't start til they were 19 or 20.
