Hey, I am in the same position as you are right now. My parents have always told my sibliings and i that we couldn't date till we were sixteen. In the mean time being single has help me to grow into the person i am today. I know you may feel left out because all of you friends are dating right now. But I'm sure you have tons of things going on in your life right now that you probly dont have time for dating. And trust me you will have so much time for dating later on in life. Mabey if you feel like you are really ready for a relationship, you could ask you parents if they would let you go on a group date. The worst they could say is no. If your parents still don't like the idea of you dating have fun and enjoy the single life while you have it. Single and lovin it

I was in your shoes awhile back. I loved hanging out with my mom though, so when I finally got the courage up to date a guy, I asked my mom to hang out with us and some of our other friends. It made her a lot more comfortable about me dating and I got to date!

Your parents just want you safe more than anything. They probably hear about all of the date rape/drinking/smoking etc. that can happen. Besides, in the end you'll be happy they said that when you end up healthy. In the mean time you can try and make friends with your crushes. Friendship lasts longer than dating relationships.

Hey, about a couple months ago my mom wouldnt let me date either but instead of me just going against her wishes i sat down with her and figured out the situation. The thing is parents just dont want us to get in a relationship and go crazy and end up with a baby on the waist. So i think you should let your parents know you are responsible and you'll be able to handle yourself. Cause at the end they just dont want you to ruin your future.

I know you've heard this before.
but your parents are just trying to protect you.
I know it seems unfair but its really not a bad thing.
I think not dating until you are older is a good idea.
I mean.
Without the distraction from the opposite sex
You can focus on your life..school.. stuff that needs to be done.

Well "distraction from the opposite sex" will always be there.
I know that.
Im 15.
I've dated.
Its not all its cracked up to be.
I promise.
Just more pressures.
More stress.
I'm allowed to date,
My mom doesnt care and my father isnt around.
But i choose not to.
Waiting until your 16 isnt so bad..

You know, I am a senior in high school and I can safely say that I did not start dating until my junior year. I mean I had girlfriends since middle school but it really isn't the same. Dating does not become dating until you can drive, it is a totally different experience. Pre-license "dating" is incredibly lame and dull and not worth it, and it can get in the way of more important things. My advice is to make very good friends with those of the opposite sex around you, and have a fun time without the stresses of a relationship while gaining the confidence of being in situations around the opposite sex. REALLY IT IS NOT WORTH IT BEFORE YOU ARE AT LEAST 16.

If I were you, I would just go with my friends to the mall or something but also invite the person u r dating. Dating is just spending time with the person and getting to know them.

You obviously havent had anyone you really like who really likes you want to go out with you. I am not allowed to date, and I am going through something right now with a guy and he broke up with his gf for me but I cant go out with him. Its not so "single and lovin it" for me. When you would be single anyway, it isnt hard, but when you could be with someone you are ttly in love with, but ur not allowed, it gets hard.
