Dating can be a part of a teens youth, just because a kid goes on a date doesn't mean its a set-up for them to get pregnant, get real isn't there any trust in the world, a teen can't even date these days anymore. I think 13 is a good age to date not to start dating meaning going on dates every few nights/week, but to go out on a date to experience it and grow from it. Think about it.

Closing - It is up to the mother, if she has enough trust she will let her date, not a lot will change a mothers first opinion but if you work hard enough to show your trustworthy in the future you may get what you want just don't ruin it.

Yes this is true but 13 is still young, it would be wise to be careful in what you do. One small date won't hurt? It may but it also may not. Be careful it's up to mum on this one

you are still growing up. i wuold be very unhappy too, if i found someone i like and didn't get to go out with her. but, be careful if you get to go out. nothing is what it seems. watch you glass ( someone might drug you ) and don't do anything you don't want to ( you know what i mean). yes, i am a bit paranoid, but theese things DO happen. if you get to, be careful.
best wishes, me.

i dont think you are too young to date, i was dating at 13. but i do think you are too young to be starting a serious relationship (trust me you dont want that at ur age) umm why dont you get your mom to meet him. introduce him as your friend and just hangout with him in groups of friends. have him over, so that your mom can learn to trust him and you. and then once your mom knows him... maybe she will give him a shot

One thing not mentioned here is the age of the boy. That makes a little bit of a difference here. If the boy is a few years older that is a recipe for disaster. But I vote with the 13 is too young to single date group. At 13 you are a bit too young to think about relationships. Also, you want to show mom that you are growing up and understand her concerns. So compromise. Try a group "date" or just a group hangout.

ya i agree group dates r alot of funn and its much less awkward for you and less to worry about... acutually... a group date is more fun than just a single date.. in my opinion

basically she still thinks you're too young to date. there's no real age i think you have to be to date (ok at least a teenager). 13 is still really young to start dating. You're body is changing and I'm sure the guy you like is changing too. I'd wait till at least 16 to date. I didn't start dating till i was 20. I'm glad I waited. As you age you'll find guys never really grow up or change. At 13 there's so much changing your life you should just wait.

I don't think 13 is too young to date, if you're going to date casually. That's actually an ideal time to start that sort of thing, since it would let you develop that important one-on-one dynamic that kids usually don't have at that age. Having the chance to pick that up in a low-stress environment like casual dating would be extremely valuable.

However, that's not the way the world works. Kids that age don't date casually. They over-invest themselves emotionally, and end up hurting themselves in a number of ways because they get overwhelmed by so many new things coming up all at once.

Don't worry so much about getting out there and dating. Go out with friends, do the group thing, and maybe even do a little bit of semi-dating within the group. Just have fun, and don't get hung up on the next thing that you could be doing.
