Should 12 year olds date

Answer 1

Well, when they "date" they just say they date. they dont go out on actual dates (except mabye with a large group to fast food resteraunt etc) They just hug and mabye hold hands. They talk alot, but its not serious, trust me! & it depends on whether the parent is comfortable or not with these things happeneing. Possibly after a while (a LONG while) they could POSSIBLY kiss, but i doubt it! hope i helped :)

-At age 12, hormones are raging, and it's very difficult for a 12 year old to contain them. One of the best and safest ways to help them is for them to date. Having a 12 year old sister, and having been 12 a few years ago, I know that girls have had crushes at 12 for generally a year or so. Very few of the 12 year olds will actually date, but I think the ones who want to should be able to, granted they have parental permission and are responsible enough. When I was younger, honestly about 13, a guy asked me out, and my mom gave me permission as long as we didn't call it dating, we called the other our "boyfriend" or "girlfriend". NOBODY would kiss when I was younger. Heck, I only had a pair of friends who were "together", and the most I was aware they did was hug, maybe a peck on the cheek at the end of the school year. The only dates they ever went on was a group date consisting of them, me, and some of our friends after school on a Friday, where we all walked a block from school for 1 1/2 hours to a little block of shops we called town, for Hot Dogs and photo booth pictures. We thought it was great because of the lack of parental supervision, despite the hot dog vendor that everybody knew that was dutifully keeping an eye on us. The few who could say they were "together" all went there on the same day. Some of us also went to see her (my friend) in a production of "Beauty and the Beast", but again that was a large group, and he brought her a rose. Granted, the note attached said "i heart u", but it was more than I expected. The girl was one of the sweetest, quietest, smartest girls I have ever known, and her mom was great. She's still a great friend of mine today, but I moved and have no idea if they're still together. Honestly, I doubt it. These things come and go. 12 year olds are just experimenting.
