I like this guy and I want to go out with him. I don't want to be sexual <definately not> but I want him to be my boyfriend. In your own opinion, is middle school too young for dating?

heyy my name is danielle... I'm in high school in my opinion middle school is definitely not to young for dating... as long as you let him no what you feel comfortable with and what you don't <-- meaning you need to tell him you don't want to be sexually active with him=)

I would say it is a good place for group activities with those of similar ages. Hanging at the mall, maybe a movie but it should be with limits

I think that middle school is a good place to practice dating. I'm in middle school myself and I think that there is no point. It will never last. I say wait till high school for a more serious relationship. But do what you want. I'll be mean and say you'll just have your heart broken. SORRY FOR THE MEAN MOMENT!! I just felt mean. Anyway GOOD LUCK!

Middle School is not too young to be dating. My first girlfriend was in 6th grade, but since I am a guy, I can tell you that the one thing that any guy at any age appreciates is to be asked out in private, whether, its after class or before class, when none of their friends are around, or when your hanging out with him and its just you and him, because if his friends are around him, he is going to be say something he doesn't want to say because he wants to look cool in front of his friends. Trust me too when I tell you this, I am in 10th grade, and I still appreciate a girl talking to me in private about that stuff. Well I got to go and finish some hw, you can e-mail me back whenever you need advice about dating or even about school work or even sports. You can call me Billy too. Well good luck. Talk to you later.
From,
Billy

YES, middle school is WAY too young for dating!!

Why are you in such a rush to date? You have your whole life ahead of you, why would you want to be tied to another person any sooner than you have too?

Yeah the boys are HOT and all the other girls are going out, but GUESS WHAT the boys will still be hot in high school and they will have all dated the other girls... So you will be new and fresh!

Have fun, not bfs! Have slumber parties and stay up all night talking to your friends about boys, but don't date them yet! WAIT! It will be worth it later, trust me!

No of corse it isn't. It's the time to get started and see what kind of people you like

Most people would say your 2 young but what do we really know!! You should give it a try it will never hurt!!

No it isn't... I had my 1st boyfriend when I was 9 but it wasn't that serious.. just becareful who you trust [even guys] because people like to talk

Hahaha you think that's young? I had a girlfriend on my first day of kindergarten! We came out of school holding hands and my mom took a picture. Anyway I'm 15 finished middle school last year. I'm going to 10th grade. Your not to young! Go for it during lunch one day in PRIVATE

:confused: hi my name is chikiya I want to date but I don't teall my mom because you know how parents r. so I can't give the boy my phone number and what if he doesn't want to go out any more

i like this guy and i want to go out with him. i dont want to be sexual <definately not> but i want him to be my boyfriend. in your own opinion, is middle school too young for dating?
Your definitely not to young because I'm 12 and already kissed my boyfriend and your probably older than me or the same age.

ABSOLUTELY! I think its natural to be into a guy and want to flirt with him, but middle school is a weird time. Stick with the studies don't complicate your life with a guy. They are on a total different maturity level then you and will only cause you drama. Let it be as is. Talk with your friends, but leave it alone

I regret having a boyfriend in middle school because now my boyfriend that I'm with is kina mad over it because he's never been with anyone elsse and I have. Just don't do anything you might regret one day

Middle school is NOTT young. I had a boyfriend when I was 2 and I'm fine in life. I think you should ask this boy out and not stand around waiting for him to pick up the clue. Unless your family/parents have a rule against this- I say go for it!

I'm in middle school, so this advice is from experience: Go for it. Your heart may be broken, but you need to know what it's like. I decided to try a middle school relationship (I've only had one so far). I had lots of fun and I learned a lot about the real world and responsibility. My heart was broken (:( ), and it hurt, but I got over it, and I learned from it.

So, do it. It's a great experience.

Well, consider the possibilities:
No-- in Muslim countries brides are married to their (older) husbands at 11 or 12 and have the first baby within a year. Seems young to Europeans and Americans, but fine to them. On the other hand, in some of those countries a man is expected to "take" more than one wife... And, it's "for life" which these days can mean 90+. (That's a LONG time.)
Yes-- I'm 48 and there were kids "going out" in 6th grade when I was growing up. The girls were all from what used to be called "broken homes" the boys were all from 2-parent families with at least one alcoholic parent. We are all grown up now and to a one every girl who got kissed in Grade 6, 7 or 8 is divorced with kids and an alcoholic with drug problems. One girl is even in prison for DUI manslaughter and one died of Syphillis. Of the boys, every one is divorced and all are alcoholics. And, this was after abortion was legalized -- no one was forced into a marriage because they were pregnant. Rather, getting started too early seems to be a function of coming from a dysfunctional family and growing up to be dysfunctional. The rest of us that waited until high school (or later) are all married with children and contributing members of society. Just an observation.

I am going to middle school next year and my mom my said that I'm not allowed to to go out yet but I agree with her
A lot of people say I'm out of my mind but I think that like what my mom says I should wait until high school
I think high school is the perfect time to start dating

Nah... I'm in middle school and I've already gone out with a couple girls. Be comfortable, if you don't want to be sexual, then don't. If he leaves you then it wasn't going to work out.

I agree with the other girl who said that you should definitely set limits for yourself, don't feel like you have to do anything un-needed just to get the attention from a boy you might like. Throughout the rest of your aducational life there will be plenty of other oppertunities to go for. Being in high school now (with not so good grades) has me wishing that I paid more attention to what was going on rather then other unimportant things. Everybody gets crushes, just be yourself, what else can you do? :)

Nahhhhhh.:o just don't do noin stupid.

Let me just tell you this straight.
Middle school is TOO YOUNG FOR DATING.
If you get together in ms, you are DOOMED and you WILL BREAK UP in high school.
I mean sure there may be that 3% that gets lucky. But literally every single couple. Every single one that has gotten together in ms that I have ever known has broken up. Every single one. If you want this to last, be friends and get together in hs. Hs is the place for that and who knows you might even go all the way from that jump pad. But ms is not it.

Don't expect a serious relationship in middle school because you probably won't find a serious one until high school maybe even college or beyond. But some form of dating in middle school is OK. You definitley don't need a sexual relationship with a guy. But casual dating that is comfortable to you him and your parents sounds good

i like this guy and i want to go out with him. i dont want to be sexual <definately not> but i want him to be my boyfriend. in your own opinion, is middle school too young for dating?
I'm going to tenth grade and when I was in middle school, dating was OK. I think middle school is like a way for kids or young adults to experiment with a boy or a girl ( not sexually and to learn to like someone or something. So I think your really not to young for dating.

I'm in middle school and our family just let it be like "group dates" which is totally fine with me. And I have to say that's the funnest way. And if you want to go out with him and don't know how to tell him just invite him to a movie with two other friends of yours and you'll be able to tell if he likes you. I don't know much, but I hope it helps :)

Dating? :eek: you are young!

No!

I totally agree with that!

Yea I am trying to ask a guy out I mean when I had my first BF I was in 4th grade! So it's not to young to start dating.

Heck no! I'm a 7th grader and I've had a boyfriend for 9 months now;]

I am justin...
I am in 6th grade and I'm strugling with girls...
I know about guys turst me I am one...
Look tell him you like him and take note on his styles and what he likes but he knows if he likes you he will change to what he thinks you like...

OK forget all the crap I just typed...

ASK HIM OUT!
Just walk up make a conversation and ask him out... (first date: to a movie!):D

Hey I got my first girlfriend who I'm still dating now in 4th grade I'm going into sixth grade but I can tell you this being I'm a guy. If we just yes you to death that means we're not listening to you because your talking too much but also don't come on too strong usually th eguy comes to you before you go to him:):):D:D:cool::cool:

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO definitely not I started dating I 3rd grade science then I've just been keeping it cool:cool:

Yes of course ,you should date because it teaches you before you go to high school definely

Hey there!:) I think that middle school IS NOT too early to start dating! I am going into middle school in about a month, and I've had 2 boyfriends. One was for about 5 months, and the other asked me out about a month ago. I actually recommend to date or at least admit that you like someone because in late middle school/early high school it will probably be hard for you to do something about it if you haven't already. Just don't go sexual AT ALL! Trust me you'll thank me when you walk into high school and see half of the 9th grader pregnant. That will ruin their lives. Just don't be supprised if someone turns you down! Life will go on. And you ALWAYS learn from mistakes! Hopes this helps!

Well it all depends on what you want to do so if you don't want action then make sure that he feels the same way otherwise then don't date him and middle school is great for dating so once you have a boyfriend hopily you guys will be together if not find a new one and its reat practice

And don't be afraid of asking him the boy doesn't have to ask you out all the time

You could have one of your or his friends ask him to go out with you,you can pass notes,or you can just ask him out face to face

No its not like what he said just listen to what say and you will do fine

I don't think its too young for dating either.
What I do is first become really good friends for about 2 months or so and tell them what you feel for them. And choose them wisely.
You don't want a guy to be in you way in school
;;unless you don't want to go to college;;
But you should want to and you want a guy
Who actually cares about you and your dreams!

So yeah I'm 16 now & I have a boyfriend that
I've been dating for 3 years & he's amazing

Some people have bf/gf(s) only for populairty! Middle school dateing is cute but its not going to last.. u will be heart broken. They like u and u like them but they or even u wont comit.

It really depends on your personality. If YOU feel like your ready, then go for it! The only opinion that matters is your's!

No way! I mean dating does not actually exist in kindergarten because where are you going to go? Dairy queen? But in middle school you can actually go places and buy things for you boyfriend.

Ugh! I really like this guy but he's sending me mixed signals what do I do!! HELP ME Please!!

Hey, Im in middle school and have a great boyfriend. Just don't be really serious, keep it to light kissing and hugging. Walk with each other, you just want to have fun! So well of course I don't think its too young

If you really like that person then try it.it is good to try new thing when you young because you will know what to do when you get older. I am in middle school and I am still looking for a nice guy but it seem to be jerks(I know) at this school.
