Proper age to date:

Well let's start out saying we do not allow our daughter to date at the age of 13.  We have friends that have kids the same age and they are okay with their kids dating!  Our daughter can't even text a boy until she is 15. Then we will chaperone the dates until she turns 17.  Then she will have a curfew as long as she is under our roof.  Absolutely no sleep overs with boys!  We may be old school but I see that dating to young can spell disaster plus we want her to be mature and ready to handle a relationship when she has one, so many kids fall hard and gets their feelings hurt and turns to drugs and alcohol I just want my kid to have some responsibility of her own actions.  I think being in a relationship as a young teen is just asinine! The parents that condone it maybe even crazier.
