It was 8th grade but we just hung out at school and went to movies. We dated through all of 8th grade and he broke up with me a few weeks before high school started (9th grade for us) because he didn't want to be tied down. :silly: </p> <p>I had a few boyfriends after that, but none super serious. I ended up meeting DH early in 10th grade, but we didn't date until I was 18 and in college. He was 19. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-started-dating/page/2#post-2347581 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 14:03:49 +0000 LilSprinkles 2347581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in college. In high school, I was too busy with sports and work to date. During my free time, I just wanted to relax or hang out with my friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-started-dating/page/2#post-2347436 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 23:24:32 +0000 Keybee 2347436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 17 or 18, I was busy with friends before that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-started-dating/page/2#post-2347401 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 20:44:33 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2347401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well my parents didn't allow me to date, so when I was 16 I had a secret boyfriend! But we never got to do anything together. We worked together, so we saw each other a few times a week, and he'd come visit my church. He and I were on and off until I was 18. My parents kind of knew about it after awhile. I had a lot of I like you/you like me type of things, that never really turned into anything </p> <p>When I was 18 is when I started my first serious relationship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-started-dating/page/2#post-2347378 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 20:00:08 +0000 Mrs. D 2347378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't allowed until I was 16, and I was that good girl who listened to her parents. Lame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-started-dating/page/2#post-2337477 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 17:35:21 +0000 Boogs 2337477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First long term was when I was a sophomore, so maybe 15.
