How will I know when im ready for a boyfriend?

[Anonymous]

I'm going to 9th grade and I want you know am I old enough to date

[Drooogie4]

Whenever you feel ready. There's no "set" age. Though 9th grade is definitely an appropriate age to start exploring that if you are interested.

Just make sure to not invest yourself too much into anyone that makes you feel sad, uncomfortable or unsafe.

A relationship should always be consensual and supportive.

OK thanks

I'm not sure that there's really an obvious moment or feeling. I know that I wasn't ready to date at your age. I think you'll probably have a good idea that you're ready to date when you feel like you'd genuinely be missing out on something by not dating, and the thought of dating doesn't absolutely terrify you.

When you are done with school.




Keep your head in the damn books kid

Got it no boys

[Danny_dan92]

Good grades. Graduate. Then maybe consider it.

[Asker]

OK got it

There's no age set for that. You'll know when you get to know him. But it doesn't hurt to think about what makes for a good and healthy relationship.

[Smashingdoozy]

You'll know when you're ready, when you like someone and they like you back. Enjoy it, take it slow, feel all the feelings

Date if you want, but don't take the "under 20" years of dating seriously.

[jahaims]

I'd you have to ask you aren't ready. Romantic relationships at your age are pointless anyways

You can but don't have sex till you are 20. You'll know the reason why in your 20s

[Asker]

Got it

[Opinion Owner]

Are you into someone?

[Asker]

Yea kinda

[riverrat3]

You will know, if you have to ask, you are not ready

[serious]
