Ummm..i agree with dating to a certain point...as long as u know where ur limits are, dating is perfectly ok 😳 ..i believe that dating has got to do with ur hormones in a way...when u get to a certain ages u tend to get attracted to the opposite sex...i also think it has got to do with showing that u are cool...dating is 'In'..is wot some ppl say 😆

i did not read what u guys think ??
it depends on who is involved ? Age group ?? where ?? and obviously family. In north american, this is what it means ::::::::::::::::

Simply dating is when both ppl gurl adn the guy both know that they like each other... and like to spend time with each other..and if u like that person than u would take the relationship to the next level... which is " Going out" IN the dating period, it is time for the two ppl to figure out whether it is just an inflatuation or love?? is it crush or something lot more ?? how much do u like someone ?? Can u see your self with him for the future ?? are his goal similar to yours ?? is he who u think he is ?? oR he is pretending to get GUrls ??
These questions are answered in teh dating period
a person who then bring the guy home for the family opinion...
its very common in notrh american countries...
i dunno abt india.. i left india when i was 11 ... so itz been a long time now...

I agree with what everyone has said so far...I'd also like to add that perhaps it is because boys and girls are hitting puberty at an early age nowadays...as early as 8 or 9 years old! I guess, that's when you really start to "notice" the members of the opposite sex, and maybe they are influenced by people around them (older siblings/neighbors, etc).
This topic also bring back a funny memory. I moved from India to the US when I was 11, and I remember in grade 6 some guy wrote me a note asking me out--basically a love note. I was SOOO embarrased, I didn't even make eye-contact with anyone for the rest of the day...In the evening, I gave the note to my mom, and my parents had a good laugh at my expense. 😆

I agree with what you said.. Teens are definitely influenced by people around them... Many kids nowadays want to be mature and grown-up, and they see many grown-ups going out on dates, so they tend to do so as well. It has definitely become a trend nowadays.. You see in your classes all the time, that all people talk about is who is going out with whom and who is breaking up with whom, and all that stuff.. It's like a very popular thing to talk about nowadays and also tends people to make ppl go out on dates even though they're not interested in the person they're dating that much.. The parents don't mind as well (in most cases), and some even urge kids to go out on dates... Like many people said before me, it's like if you don't date you're not cool enough, and it also distracts many teens from studies and other important things...

Personally, I don't believe in dating, but I guess it's okay to some point. If you're old and mature enough, and don't cross the limits, it's okay, since you're just getting to know the person and trying to see if they're right or wrong for you.. But, dating when you're 10 or 11 is wayy too wrong. But, it happens all the time. My sister, who's just in fifth grade talks about how one of her friend is going out with this guy and this other girl also likes him and stuff.. Even I was aksed out when I was just in fifth grade.. So it does happen and will continue to happen... I just hope 3rd or 4th graders don't start dating just because it's "cool"...

i personally do not really believe in dating...i cannot have a casual relationship...people fall in love over and over again which is something i dont think i can do...for me it has to be serious....thats just me, as far as others dating, its ok...i think its everyones personal choice and they should be allowed to do whatever they want 😃

First of all, like everyone else has said, it is a very interesting topic indeed! Dating not really in America but in Pakistan and in India has become a norm. Ofcourse back home, well speaking on behalf of Pak, its not as prominent as it is here.
As a desi and a Muslim, I have been through an "unfortunate" experience of dating myself, but believe it or not the influence did not come from the open society of USA but of Pak. Four years ago when I went to Pak, I was an innocent sweet little girl, but when I went there I saw most of my cousins involved in relationships. This had a lot of impact on me, I thought to myself that if they can date, than being an "American" y cant I try... and the following summer, guess what I had started seeing guys as well, well actually just "a" guy! I dated him for about 2 years, on and off... and where we ended up? no where... I didn't get anything out of dating but tears and a major depression!!!
Dating experience for me is a big NO NO now, because now I believe that you will be with who u r meant to be with, these childish infatuation are just like a summer breeze, they pass with time!
I dont think going out with random people will do anything but give you pain especially for a young person!

Interesting Topic. Well I think teens just date to show off or because of peer pressure. Teens don't really know the meaning of "love" because when they're going out, they say they're in "love" but actually when they break up and go out with someone new, they say the same thing. You can only be in love once right? Also they just probably date because of peer pressure and because everyone else is, and they don't wanna look like a loser in front of everyone. I think it doesn't matter if you look like a loser or not. I can't believe that actually 10/11 years date. I mean how can they actually know the meaning of "dating"? I think it's dumb that really young kids date because if they break up they get too emotional. (like mostly girls) Also when they are older and more mature, they still get emotional and their heart is broken when someone breaks up with em. Dating isn't only common in America, but now also in India. It just depends on how mature the person is and that he/she doesn't get all depressed because breaks ups are ALWAYS gonna happen no matter what. But that's mainly why I think people date. I mean I can't really agree/disagree because what do I know? I am just another teen. lol😆

people in my class are the ages of 10-12 and they date...they do all these things like put the persons name all over their folder or write the name on their wrist and stuff...and then when the other person breaks up with them they start crying...like you chose to date them no one told you...you should start dating when your mature enough to handle yourself...and even when your mature enough peer pressure could change your actions...but i think if you can't handle it or your not strong enough then whats the point.and some people just go out with someone who they think is cute or something or someone who they just saw and asks them out n dat person says yea....they go out with someone but they dont know the meaning....so then when all this gets started sometimes people start making up rumuors.and then all the DRAMA starts
