What age should people go into relationships?

[Aiden]

Which age do you reckon is the right age to go into your first real relationship. Personally I think it depends on the people but a lot of people say to me that I'm too young, I kinda agree. They mainly say it because I don't know myself yet and I'm going through a phase, but that's important.

What age should people be trusted and have a serious relationship at?

[MKR&*42]

I don't think there's a right age. Date when you want.

It annoys me when people claim "omg you're 13 you're totally incapable of understanding love?!!?!?!?" to some teenagers, because it's not necessarily true. If both people feel they are ready (or just wanna have fun :P) then that is the correct time, regardless of how young they are.

[wixard]

oh i didn't read what you said before voting but i still think i'm right

i had boyfriends at 11/12 where we hadn't even kissed yet...
although i obviously wouldn't consider it a proper relationship i still think it's fine to do so at any age really

my first proper 'serious' relationship would have happened at about 15/16

[buttons]

uh well my most serious relationship was aged 14-16 and nothing else has come close, so does it really matter? could be together from the age of 11 until you die so don't care about what others think you SHOULD do.

even at the age of 20 i feel that's still quite young for a relationship. i don't like to go into relationships if i don't see a future with them so my next relationship has to be someone I do see a future with and at this age i could be out partying, getting my career done etc, there's plenty of time for me to find someone. so really doesn't matter lol.

[Kardan]

I don't think there is a right age. I'm now 20, and I've been with my girlfriend since we were 16.

[Samantha]

I think it's up to the person, when I was in year 9 I decided I wanted a boyfriend and that I was ready - I got my first in year 10 and we did nothing, the second, we also did nothing. Basically, I didn't have my first proper relationship until I was 16 and I was with him until I was 18, and now, the current one I've been with for 5 months near enough and I'm 19 soon and now, with the most recent one it feels special and I think a relationship at my age and what I feel now is ok, but that's personally for me.

Others are different and it's up to them when they feel ready :P.

[geo]

not really sure if i think there's a right age. just depends on the people really and how you go about dealing with the situations, obviously some people aren't ready and that's for them to find out, but other people will be completely different and maybe deal with things better or worse, so it's hard to say really.

[Sho]

I don't think there is a right age. Whenever you feel ready really, depends on the person I guess :P.

[Jurv]

don't think it really matters as long as you're not being forced into doing something you don't wanna do

[Absently]

you can be in a relationship at any age and don't exactly have to be serious. it varys from age to age if you wan't to be in a serious relationship, some people might be mature enough for a serious relationship at quite young, whereas some people might not be ready until mid 20s

[Kyle]

as early as possible. if it's not something you have experienced then it's unlikely that relationships later in life are going to be very successful.

[lawrawrrr]

no such thing as a right age, it's when you're ready for it. I had my first boyfriend at aged 16 because I just wasn't interested and didn't feel ready before. People are always going to judge any young person in a relationship: I get told even now, at aged nearly 20 that I shouldn't be with my boyfriend because we're "too young" but it's just ridiculous.

So whenever the person is ready.

[JACKTARD]

I think the whole cringey relationships which last a few days in early secondary school are important for everyone to kind of learn about relationships in general from their own and other people's. Otherwise when they get into one they wouldn't have even seen anyone really in one except for on TV and older people. I think it's fine the way it is and the world's working fine the way it is. People need to learn from mistakes and from the past :).

[Zak]

When ever you feel ready

[e5]

Any age they want. I fell in love at 15 lol, and still am now. Didn't really care before that, but the right person came along :)

[Cerys]

I don't think there is a right age.

People mature at different ages, and obviously to be in a serious relationship you need to be mature. *Don't think I'm using 'mature' in the right way, but oh well :P *
I am almost 15, but I do not feel yet ready to be in a proper relationship, whereas people who are my age and younger seem to be doing fine in a relationship! It really depends on the type of person.

I think the age I'D be ready is 16 or maybe even 17

[Shockwave.2CC]

Probably around the age of 15

[Calum0812]

Child / teen relationships are the same old same old.
Get together, 2 weeks later break up.
16 I see people being pretty stable. But that's just my opinion.

[Empired]

I voted for 16, although I understand it ranges from person to person. I simply voted for the age I did because it's the age I entered my first proper relationship.

[Paige.]

i don't think there's a 'right' age but i've never known any 11-14 year old who has had a 'serious' relationship but that doesn't mean they're not capable of having one it just depends on the person.

[Gibs960]

I'd say 13-14 for me, before that I didn't really have any serious relationships. But the only serious relationship I've had was a few months back, but I didn't think she was ready and I ended up thinking "is it worth it?". That's just me though.

[Chris]

Theres no right or wrong age, if you feel ready then you will know that its the right time for you.

[!x!dude!x!2]

i say 14 because thats when you start high school in canada . so i think thats a good age

[FluroPurple]

People should start experimenting with dating from the ge of 12 onwards, I believe. Let's face it, how many twelve year olds will go beyond a hug or even a minor peck on the cheek? They're adjusting to being in highschool and such.
I believe that the age of 15/16 is when you begin to have your first mature/real relationship. Preferably 16 is when they seem to begin.

[Sharon]

whenever you find someone right for you lol, would like to think that no one has the mind set that as soon as they hit a certain age it's necessary to get in a relationsip

[Narnat,]

I don't think an age should be put on relationships really, I don't think younger people are any less capable of understanding the concept of a relationship. Of course i've found out over the years different aspects of a relationship but you learn that with growing up and that's something that people that are 11 who are in relationships will also find out. I think it's a process.

[Shar]

Personally I still don't feel ready for a real relationship even at my age.

[A]

I think 16 is a perfect age to start with relationships imo.

[-:Undertaker:-]

Depends what you mean by relationship and then it also depends on the maturity of those involved.

[Catchy]

When the individual is 'ready' for one. Personally at this stage in my life, I still feel too young for a relationship. There's so much I want to do with my life and I want to get my career sorted first and not have any distractions. Oh and the fact I can't be bothered, I think I've lost faith in relationships lol.

[bam..its..abbz]

I think it could be any age, but most serious would be 14-16 as people are just getting older and ya know. But it depends on the person remember age doesn't really matter if your in love with someone then go for it aha :)

[Narnat,]

I have sort of come to the conclusion now that no two relationships are the same and a relationship could mean many things I suppose it's what YOU make it. So in regards to age it shouldn't matter.

[Aaron]

Really depends on each individual person I guess, you've always got those young romances which don't last too long. But you do see 15/16 year old's in long lasting relationships, so whenever two people feel the time is right I guess.

[Matt]

Yeah i'd say it depends on how serious the person is at making it work. But I don't really care/mind when people choose to have a relationship.

[bogan]

when it feels right

[shiver]

i can't vote because it's different for everyone. some people should NEVER be a in a relationship for example. maybe that's me being bitter but you know, some people just make terrible partners and should not be inflicted upon anyone!!

[Charz777]

Personally, I was friends first but entered a relationship at 16. Four years down the line and we're still together. You have all the innocence and the new, exciting experiences at 16. You grow together. Get all that awkward stuff out of the way and you know each other inside-out. And when you get to that age around 19/20 when you start thinking about the future it doesn't seem so ridiculous that one day, you'll be married, and have a house and a family because you already feel ready because you've been together for 4 years, whereas if you enetered a relationship at 20 when you're ready to start a life of your own you won't be in that same loving, committed position.

[BlooBanana]

I went into my first real relationship at 14, I went into it half heartedly thinking it wouldn't go far, 5 years later here we are, completely serious with each other. I don't really believe there is an age to say. But maybe 11/12 is too young in my eyes.

[Reality]

People should be able to go into a relation whenever they want just because they are young doesnt mean they still can't love maybe they don't know what it actually means I live but they still have emotional feelings for that person.
Also no matter how old they are it doesn't mean they can't go into a relationship with someone 3-4 years older than them or more as long as they live each other what is inside not outside and also if you know what you are doing in that moment in time is it the right / wrong decision?
But just let them do what they want they have their own mind their own life not up to other people to tell them what's right or wrong with their own relationship

With Chris; on this one sorry

[Phil]

I said 17 because that's how old my girlfriend was when we got together. I'm exactly a year older than her. I don't think it would have worked out like is has if we were much younger.

In saying that I don't have a problem or I don't judge those who get into serious relationships and a younger age. This is just what has worked for me and how I feel it would have went if we were younger
