What Age Do You Think Is Right For An Adolescent To Start Dating? by Nobody: 10:13am On Apr 12, 2015
A young man posted earlier that is girlfriend is asking for sex, the young man said he is 17

https://www.nairaland.com/2250714/girls-frnd-bugging-sex-still

but as I was reading the comments people are giving I observe most of them condemn him instead of giving him a convincing response and some said he is too young to start dating.then the question came to my mind so tell us when do you start dating and what age are you when you had your first sex?

The constitutionally accepted age is 18, anything below that is child abuse.

But for me, I think 20 years is the best age to start dating.

Oh please! Spare us the sanctimonious claims!

Most young people pass out of high school at ages 16 and 17. Most SSS3 students date. So what's the child abuse in dating your mate? Heck, some 17-year olds are even in the UNIVERSITY!

I started dating at age 17 and I have no regrets whatsoever. DATING DOESN'T NECESSARILY EQUATE TO HAVING SÊX.

Oh please spare me your unnecessarily judgmental aggressiveness!!

That most SS3 students and you started dating at relatively young age or lesser age doesn't make it constitutionally right. For your info, peeps of 12 years now date, but does that make it right? No. The general accepted age at which an adolescent becomes an adult and have liberty to do most things is 18 and above. That you chose to start earlier doesn't make it the law!! And where did I wrote dating equals having sex?

Mister/Miss, the constitution ONLY FROWNS AGAINST HAVING CARNAL KNOWLEDGE OF A MINOR. It doesn't hinder close relationships.

Funny how folks quote the constitution when it suits them.

Mr/Miss, can you tell me how many Nigerian parents will support their 15-year-old children dating because you said there's nothing wrong with age-mates dating one another even if they're minors. Or how many 13-year-olds will confidently introduced their GFs/BFs to their parents and their parents will pat them on the back? You argue for argument sake. Peeps of 14-years-old date, but how many will be bold enough to tell their parents about it in this Nigeria?

Funny how many people lie to themselves just to win an argument.

And please bro/sis, the topic said "dating" not "close relationships." I wonder where you imported your "close relationship" from. undecided

And the fact that Nigerian parents frown at something doesn't make it wrong. Nigerian parents aren't always right and they are the most hypocritical and myopic people on earth.

Define dating please...

I never said it made it right or wrong. Cultures differs, Nigeria is not U.S and vice-versa. As long this country is concerned, it's frowned upon. EOD.

Keep deceiving yourself. Personal viewpoint my black azz. Create a thread to ask Nairaland parents if they'll permit their 13-year-olds to start dating. Of course you know what the result will be. So restrict your viewpoint to yourself too. No thanks.

Creating a thread is pointless and a waste of time if you ask me. I stand by my point, Nigerian parents aren't always right.

Creating a thread is useless to you only because you already know you'll be trounced by the results favouring me.

What you stand for doesn't translate to reality on the ground. No human is always right so stop using the Nigerian parents excuse to save face.
