Ideally, between 20 (college/post-undergrad days) and 24, is the best time to be seriously dating, however you should only date someone OUTSIDE of your campus! They are batsh*t crazy now when it comes to dating on campus, and it's usually just against males. Colleges are extremely sexist against men due to woke politics and will try to call anything you do sexual misconduct. So don't date someone who goes to the same school as you if you DO date in your college years.
You could argue between 16 to 20 is a okay time to date too, but it really depends where you live. Small town and basic high school, yes; big city and competitive high school, no. Don't ever let dating come before your academic progress.
But IDEALLY, you should date in your early 20s, for the most part. The problem is, not all of us find the right one by then. Or we're not in the right state of mind to be dating, at the time. Or we're too busy with school or work to have time to properly date. So it's a hard answer. More like "in your 20s if you can, but if you can't, it's okay. You'll date when you're ready."
I know it's always "when ever your'e ready" but generally speaking, 20s is the peak. 20s is usually when you're so ready. That's when you have a job to sustain your life, newly graduated and not having to worry about collage/university schedule, really fertile and you are your own person.
I'd say it's best to skip the teen years. Teen dating is almost always stupid and a pointless waste of time (or at least significantly more so than dating at pretty much any other age). I had a couple boyfriends in my teens and they were both idiots. I also don't think I'm unique in having stupid relationships in my teen years. If I hadn't dated in my teens I would have been better off.
The best time to start dating is in your 20s.

The best time to start dating is when you're a teenager, because it gives you a larger dating pool to pick from and more time to get to know the person better as friends before committing to them. The mistake people make is having sex when they start dating, because while dating early is a huge advantage, being a teen parent is a huge disadvantage, and most people mistake a mismatch for a match very often.
I personally am of the view that people should start dating in high school. (Not middle school, though; mind you.). They're already interested in love and relationships, and they have a desire to date. Why not let them? If I was a parent, I would want my children to start dating while they're still living at home. That way I can better guide them to make good decisions and not get hurt.
I don't necessarily think that you have to have "everything" together to start dating. I mean most young couples starting out do not. I think it depends how interested in dating you are and how much you want to share your life with someone else.
You ARE young, I'm 29 and I'm really just starting myself. Move at your own pace and things will work out eventually. Get your life stable and together first if you can.
I think when you know what you what in life. That´s not connected to an age because some people realize it sooner, some later.
You never have your shit together, you just get progressively better at hiding the mess. You start dating when you find someone you want to date.
When it comes to dating the best time to date is when you are ready.
Only one person can say when the good time is, that's that person
I think when you are mature enough to be a grandpa is a perfect time.
When you are ready I’d say!
For girls, in their teens. For guys, in their 20s.
Legal teen girl + older guy is best combination
Dating is part of figuring yourself out.
There is no right or wrong time.. whenever one is willing and ready for it
Whenever you feel ready.
Depends on you, when you feel ready
