The rule basically states that people under fourteen shouldn't concern themselves with dating. I agree.artanis_neravar said:Just curious is there an age limit where that formula starts working? or can a 10 yr old only date a 12 yr old?squidtm said:Minimum age you can date without seeming creepy= (1/2*your age)+7, so even if the 8th grader is 14, it seems bad. That said, I wouldn't expect this to become serious in any way, so you should just let it play out however it does.
I hit puberty in 6th grade.kman123 said:Eurgh...I'm surprised the 8th grader has hit puberty.
Yeah the half your age plus 7 seems to work relatively well doesn't it? It more or less extends the age back by a little every year, but still keeps it "clean"squidtm said:Minimum age you can date without seeming creepy= (1/2*your age)+7, so even if the 8th grader is 14, it seems bad.

This. You cannot, in fact, date someone if you do not go on dates with them, or at least hang out with them and get to know them.Kakulukia said:They haven't seen each other in person. Ever. Therefore they are not dating. Problem solved.
Okay, they claim to be bf and gf and they made each others Facebook accounts say that they are in a relationship. Also, they tell each other that they love each other. Every. Single. Day.Futurenerd said:You have given us no information as to what their relationship is like. You don't describe the way they talk to each other, or about each other, or anything like that. All you say is "they've been dating," which means nothing to me since my definition of a date is dinner and/or a movie and/or "cuddling". Since you say they've never met each other in real life, I have absolutely NO information to go on. As far as I know, they could be simply good friends on Xbox Live, or they could be sexting. I need more information.
It took me a second to get that joke... funny!jesoneric said:Ask your friend if he can score me a Chris Hanson autograph.
