text: what do you think the appropiate age for a bf is? i am 13 and my parents don't think i should have a boyfriend.  but all of my friends have or have had a boyfriend. i have to but they haven't known.  but know guys want to go out on dates and i know that my parents wouldn't allow that.  so what do you think the appropriate age is to have a boyfriend? sure go on dates but i wouldnt get to serious with a boyfriend.    guys are way too much trouble.    if i could go back i would wait.  its hard though i know.    i think 16 is probably the right age.
