When:

Teens should start to date in their twenties. That is, teens really should not date.

Seriously, almost everyone would be a lot happier if they just hung out with their friends until they were ready to have a real relationship as an adult. Lots of adults have no good relationships because they keep following the bad relationship habits they developed in their teens. And teen relationships pretty much all end in tears. (Just ask Taylor Swift; if that's what it's like for her, what do you expect it'll be like for you?)

Why:

People should date when they are starting to look for someone to share their life. (That probably sounds like "someone to marry" to you, and for lots of people, that's what it looks like. There are other arrangements that work for some people.)

People often develop so many expectations, defense mechanisms, bad experiences, and general mental weirdness as a result of dating for years that by the time they're ready to pick someone to spend their life with, they can't. They spend 50 years lonely and die alone. It's tragic, and I hope it doesn't happen to you.

I know this is not what you want to hear, but you asked, and I won't lie to you.

It really comes down to a question of whether you want to have some fun (and some heartbreak) now, or whether you want to have a great life from the time you're 20 and forever. Almost nobody gets to do both in today's world. Sad but true.

The fact that you can ask this question means you canmake a good choice. I hope you do. The world needs more people who can make good choices.

I expect a lot of people will not like this advice because it's not what they did. Truth is, it's not what I did, either, but I'd be happier today if I had. Most people aren't honest enough with themselves to tell people that what they did isn't the best. I hope you want the best for yourself enough to get it, even if it's not the easiest.

Teens should start dating when they feel emotionally ready and have established good communication skills and boundaries. It's important for teens to understand what a healthy relationship looks like and be able to advocate for their own needs and boundaries. It can also be beneficial for teens to have support from parents or trusted adults when entering the dating world.
