Teenagers who want to date? When is that experience appropriate for your teen? Is there a certain age when kids are ready to date?I would say no, there's not an age, but I would say that there's a baseline that you don't even consider that your child begins to go one on one with the opposite sex until they are 16 years old. And then just because they're 16, doesn't mean that they are mature in such a way to be alone with the opposite sex.Kids are ready to date when they can give you evidence over the course of months and years that they know how to use their choices to be honest, responsible and humble. So you as the parent need to know and need to live in Truth as well so that you'll be able to see whether they're being honest, responsible and humble or not. If you are not living that way, you are only going to reflect the bar to the degree that you live.So you have a child, your job is to model and to hold boundaries and to reflect their responsibility of their thoughts, their feelings and their behaviors,
