How old should you be before dating a guy?

Being over weight has nothing to do with how old you should be before dating. That an excuse you made up. I'm 26 now married, and have a 2 yr old daughter. I'm going answer your question from a parent view. To me I believe 15 is a good age to start dating. You're still young so don't get too attach. Also its up to your parents.Talk to them. They want to hear you out. I want my daughter to talk to me about her issues. I've been through everything that you might be going through and I'm sure your parents has too. Also if you don't feel ready to date and you feel that you need to accomplish some goals for yourself before you start dating then so be it, leave it as that. It depends on you. Don't let anyone every make you do anything that YOU don't want to do.
