Default when did you let your teen start dating?

my son is 15. i know it is going to come any day now. "mom, will you drive me and (insert name here) to the movies?" i DREAD that day. i was SO happy before Valentine's day because my son said he would NEVER ask a girl out before V Day because he didn't want to have to buy her a gift! lol. Ahhhhh....music to a mom's ears. lol. but now that day has come and passed. He is my first....so he will be my first experience with teen dating, since I was a teen that is. lol.

what about you? when did you let your teen start dating?

I don't have a teen and also dread hearing DS say he's ready to date....but I can say that I started dating my husband when I was 16 years old. As long as your son is mature and responsible I'm sure he'll make a great boyfriend to some girl. Hopefully his girl is just as great as he is.

My oldest will be a teen next year (GASP) and so far he is NOT interested in girls except as friends.

What does concern me though is how kids are already "dating" at his age and it's just unreal to me. A friend up the street has a 13 year old and she's asked to go to the movies with a boy. My friend said "no".

I think 15-16 is a good age for us, but it'll of course depend on my kids maturity level.

last night at dinner, my teen dd who weighs 95 pounds SOAKING WET was eating jalapeno peppers. my ds, 15, looked at her and said, "wow.....you are going to be skinny if you keep eating those." lol....if he's going to tell skinny-nothings of a girl that they are GOING TO BE skinny.........i think i'm safe from the dating world of teenagers for a while! lol.

yes.
that day is about to come.
be raedy its not very far.
oh come on it is just a process of growing up that teenagers get attracted towards opposite sex.
even me and you have done that.
one thing that is needed.
give your son every possible knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases.
