Then, welcome to grandparenthood 9 months later. You do know that dating and sex are different things right ?

I had a "girlfriend" in junior high but outside of going to a couple of parent chaperoned outings to the local hamburger joint and a junior high dance it wasn't much of a relationship. My first real girlfriend I suppose I was about 17 when I actually made some money and had a car.

What age is it okay to start dating? Depends on the kid --- and the date. I would never let my 8 year old date a 20 year old. But I would let them date a 6/7/8/9/10 year old I trust.

Don't you think 13 would be a better handholding, first kiss type age? There is no reason 8 year olds cannot play together. Odds are, 8 year olds won't want to "date". And of course, no 8 year old should be forced to date. But if my 8 year old has a 8 year old friend of a different sex, I am not going to refuse them time together.

It depends. Some children mature at an earlier age than others and experience feelings of love when they are under the age of 10. I knew I had feelings for my best friend when I was only 8 and can't remember what it felt like not to love her now but my Father was a homophobic prick who was always putting down homosexuals and made me feel like there was something wrong with me for a long time and the more I tried to fight being attracted to her the harder it got 'cause I was in love with her and if it wasn't for that and her parents keeping us apart for all the years they did we would have got together ages ago so I think people who think children are too young to fall in love have no idea what they are talking about and they should be able to date at whatever age they want.

It's the usual conflict... the kids want to date without restriction etc at as young as they feel like while the parents want to delay things as long as possible to protect their kid from the vultures.
but with that said... I would probably think 16+ MINIMUM but even at that age many are just too naive and think it's all good when the guy just want to get into their pants etc etc. which is the usual image people have of the typical young person even though all probably ain't like that but since many are, parents tend to be a bit overprotective. but after a certain point the parents are sort of forced, to some degree, to trust their kid and hope they don't screw up TOO much before they get a bit older/wiser (which is probably closer to around 30 years old before they start to see a bit more clearly).
but even if we go with the whole 16+ stuff... that sort of assumes whoever they are dating are pretty close in age to. like say one is 16 I would prefer the other be no more than 18-19 tops because while a few years or so is next to nothing once someone is a bit older that 2-3+ years can start to be quite a bit if say a it's a 16 and 21 year old, I would rather avoid as a parent even though say when one is 21 and the other is 26 that's not bad at all at that point. or say maybe 18 and 23 years old. but I guess once someone is younger than 18 you tend to want whoever they are dating to be within a couple of years or so of their own age etc.
p.s. but just as a general guideline, assuming someone is roughly mid-20's or older... I figure someone should be within 6-7 years of the person they are dating otherwise I would imagine it's less likely to work long term because there is just too much of age gap, especially those with like 15-20+ years between the two as around 20 years is parent level age difference which is too much as I figure around 10 years is pushing it as I think one is just more likely to be on the same page all around if your age gaps are within 6-7 years of your own as that way it's not too restricting but at the same time your not too far apart in age.

I'm 50 and I would keep to a no more than 5 year age difference in my relationships. But honestly the best marriage I ever saw was my mother's parents who married when she was 18 and he was 29. Still she was much more mature than the typical 18 year old would be today. Both her parents passed away by the time she was 16 which left her raising he 10 year old twin brother and sister.

15 would be the earliest. I mean really... wtf do you know about dating before that? You were probably still playing with Pokémon before that. Kids are too in a rush to grow up.
I knew of a girl who had boyfriends when she was 13. What?! WTF does she know about romance at 13?!

Why are you letting your 8 year old do ANYTHING?!?!? Are you insane?!?!? My 8 year old would be in the house under lock and fucking key!!!

You think 13 is too young for a little hand holding and a first kiss? Maybe a chaparoned movie? I don't think that's the same as dating. Dating suggests you're going out on your own and have maybe moved on to 2nd base at least.
Hand holding and a chaperoned movie is just friends. First kiss? Everyone sneaks a kiss.
