I'm I 2 young 2 fall in love?

Post Reply New Topic

My mom says I'm 2 young 2 be dating, I'm 15.

A lot of 15 year olds date, but these are usually very shallow relationships and they don't stay together very long. Dating can be a lot of unnecessary worry, especially if you have school to think about. I spent a lot of time when I was a teenager wishing I was in a relationship, and looking back now, I'm glad I wasn't.

I think teens should be able to date freely, as long as the right rules are enforced. If you don't date when young, then you cant figure out what you want in a relationship.

I don't think you are too young at all, but you wouldn't date like a 20 yr old or even a 17 year old. When I was 15 I did have a boyfriend and our dates were things like movies, snow mobile riding, working on home coming floats and being in the school play (I mean we did have play practice and you aren't always acting!). We were also both on the debate and forensics teams so when we would compete out of town, they would stop on the way back or going so we could eat dinner and he and I would pretty much use that as a way to "date."

At your age it's easier if you do things together that you both like. It gives you something to talk about without all the worry and allows you to get to know each other without stress. See how Mom feels about those ideas and if any of them can work for you.

Also, just know that it is normal at your age to experience emotions very strongly and to have them change very suddenly. That is very common, so if it happens to one or both of you, don't be surprised. It's just part of going through your teen years.

Your not to young if you feel like your 15 year old.
Only YOU can be the judge of if you are ready or not.
If your mom is just assuming it because of the number 15 than she is extremely out of touch with the current reality of teenagers.
If she thinks your still her little boy you were 10 years ago than that might have caused it as wel.
YOU be the judge of that.

iv been seriously dating since i was 11 and i now know i just wasn't ready.
im 16 now and things seem clearer, 16 is a good age to start dating properly but crushes and mild dating at a young age is good for development such as going to movies etc
without that early development i would not understand what i know now. maybe i grew up too early at 11 i was going out with older guys around 15 years old as i knew no better. looking back i feel that i wasted my childhood by growing up too early instead of playing football like i do now. i was out with my boy friend doing "other" things. now things have swapped i play football and never date anymore. many people have told me that they regret doing the same as i did and frankly they are correct
enjoy your dating with people at the cinema because i wish i had that advice instead of being pressured into things i just wasn't ready for.

good luck

More than likely yes,because the huge majority of teenagers are too emotionally immature to love someone,but you never know until you try.

unknown: most likely, he/she will agree with you in a few years. of course, how we see love, relationships, attractiveness etcetera changes as we mature - but that does not change a bit that when your hormones are raging, you do feel love. maybe later on, youll see the whole affair as less serious but when its there, its there.

other than that, when my former girlfriend and i came together, she was 14 - and more mature in terms of love, committment and responsibility than anyone i ever met. i was 21 at that point, so quite beyond the age of raging hormones. (before anyone complains: not everywhere in the world is jurisdiction as idiotic as in the states. age of consent in germany is 14)

I have no idea. I'm too young to know.

Does anyone know if Mary Kay Letorneau is still married? She married that kid after being released from prison. If they're still married I'd say he found love at a very early age.

My gut instinct is that you're too young to love. Definitely not too young to date though.

I say if you've got an oppurtunity to date someone, take it. I've never been on a date in my life (I'm 18 ), and I feel ridiculous and stupid because of it. I agree with Unknown that you're probably not going to find true love, but it's worth a shot anyway. Don't expect a long term relationship, but try to have some fun before reality comes crashing down on you and you end up as a cynical recluse like me.

My best friend has had his girlfriend since he was 13. He's about 16 now and still happily with the same girl. That's a strong relationship that proves you're not too young.

At the very least it's a learning experience.

Meh.

should it really matter?

age 17, I was sorta with a girl who was 20.
age 19(now), I dated a 27 year old. (fall semester at my college, she was a freshman btw)

so I don't think its really all that important at what age you want to date, less your parentals state that you can't date until a certain age......like mine sorta did....sophmore year of high school was when they allowed.
