I believe the right age to begin dating is eighteen years and older. First of all, eighteen year olds are physically ready. In today's world, many young individuals decide to have sex before marriage. It provides physical intimacy and allows the couple to be closer, not just emotionally but physically as well. The body by then has enough time to mature and prepare for the intimacy and pregnancy, if it happens. Secondly, the couple has more emotional maturity. They are more ready to handle and tackle the dramas, bickering, and arguments that dating entails. The strain of daily life may result in constant bickering about small matters and having the legal title of an adult gives the young 18 year olds the confidence to get through it. Last but not least, it is the age where the couple is more educated. They may have finished high school and is preparing for or attending college. They have more knowledge and can decide on their own. They are able to think for themselves and not have to depend on an older individuals to make decisions for them. Not to mention, their maturity stems from the act of deciding on what college to attend to where they want to live after high school. All of the listed reason above prepares the couple for the dating world and will help them to grow and nourish a relationship so it may last. Patience pays off and the reward will be all-worth it.
