Dating should be for 18 and up

So I didn't date until college, combo of my parents not allowing me to date in high-school and no one actually asking me out 😅

BUT I think it made me better off long term. I was older and able to stand up for myself, I was able to recognize bad behavior in men easier and not get involved with certain guys, I was more confident, all around I was more ready to be in a relationship.

I saw so many friends be worse off the earlier they dated. And it really affected them long after those bad relationships ended. I honestly think everyone would be better off if they waited to get into romantic relationships.
