We definitely won't be skipping grades with our kids, but that's a story for a different thread! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-will-you-allow-your-kids-to-date#post-51486 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:30:38 +0000 chopsuey 51486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. I was 19 when I went on my first date.

A lot of my friends had "boyfriends" when we were in junior high (12-14).</p> <p>I guess I'll just have to wait and see!</p> <p>Will you set an age when it's ok to date? </p>
