How old where you when you first fell in love or first started dating? Come on and be honest. To be honest I started in the second grade with puppy love and it has grown since then. When I first fell in love was this passed July when i met my boyfriend. He is older than me but i felt like age wasn't anything but a number. People have different beliefs with different things. I never told my parents about my first boyfriend. But my first real boyfriend. I couldn't keep my mouth shut. My parents would tell me not to have boyfriend until I was at least 17. So when do you feel like the right age to start dating??
