Age for Relationships


(GigaDrillBreaker)

Recommended Posts

This topic is prompted by a recent skype conversation.

I would like to note that this is not me asking for advisement, rather just curious on everyone's views on the matter.

What is the soonest one should consider attempting a romantic relationship? Some believe that effective relationships can begin in High School, while others feel it should not even be attempted until mid 20s.

Opinions?

I think the general consensus in my family & other relatives is 16 at the earliest.

Personally, that sounds like a good number. I mean at that age, you could actually drive your date somewhere.

Generally that also means the date is over 16 (but preferably under 18)

I wouldn't really put a limit an age on a relationships, I suppose it is down to the maturity of both people. Most young relationships don't last anyhow, but it's a learning experience. 

Pretty much this. Any age is fine really, depending on the maturity level. Of course following the law is a given. But I don't think that really there's one good starting age.

God forbid two preteens get into a relationship, they might actually gain some information that will be useful later on in their lives.

 

Someone please explain how this is actually a genuine conversation, because I sure as fuck don't consider it to be one.

Because it's a conversation a lot of parents have to have about their children when they get to the age to even think about dating?

"Thinking" about dating?

Just be however feels comfortable with somebody who has mutual feelings. You should never let superficial stupidities like "what everyone else thinks 'cause what they think actually changes what happens between us" cause significant peer pressure to you. Apply a case-by-case basis to these things, not a principle that supports ignorance and foolhardiness.

Though Daemon apparently thinks our ages matter enough to mention it. It's deeper than that, you know.

parents generally decide when they want to allow their children to date. My point was not to Giga but to Night that the reason we were having this conversation is because it is one that possibly all parents have to consider when raising their kid. That's why it's relevant

vvvvv

It is a social construct that exists defined by appropriate age of parent consent

If you're mature enough to handle one, then I don't see why you can't have a relationship under 16.

Of course, being younger means you can't drive + any "dates" are limited to school and/or under parental supervision.

 

[Or you have to take date on the bus, which I doubt he/she would want to do]

 

Just make sure you follow the law, and things should be okay.

Okay so like, date whenever the fuck you wanna. IT LITERALLY DOES NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. Ether way you're gonna have a learning experience. 

 

Personal experience: When I was in my early teens I dated sooo many people, and it was amazing. Yeah it was all for fun, and most of the relationships I had didn't mean a thing. I mean I made good friends, so it didn't matter ( I broke some hearts tho). Puberty was one hell of a roller coaster, but I eventually got out of it and moved on to more serious means of dating. But I don't regret any of it, I needed those experiences just like anyone who dated me. They helped me grow, and mature into the almost adult that I am today.

I really don't give a damn, as long as you're of the right age if you want to do sexytimes. Because if not, things could get really nasty for one party if the other decides to press statutory rape charges.

 

Yeaahhhh, as long as it isn't rape, then it's cool.
