Did I pen this down before...? 
There is no age restriction as to when you "date" another person.
The first time I held hands with a girl was when I was 5. 
It is the responsibility of going into one and the specific reasons
for going into one that can catch you off guard or make you fall
off the cliff. Why do you date? Because many other people of your
age are already attached and you feel pressure? You feel
"threatened" that you are not part of "that" class if you are still
single? You yearned for that "feeling" of loving someone and being
loved back, carassing, kissing, and the warm, fuzzy feeling of
being together and share many things possible?
Are you mature enough to handle the relationship? You date based on
the gut feelings you have for that person. He/she/it is good
looking? Or maybe cute and nice? Perhaps its fun being with
him/her/it? Or maybe he/she/it is the hot property at the moment?
How long do you intend to date that person? Till the feelings died
down such that you have an excuse when breaking up, saying "I have
no feelings for you anymore"? Or maybe you realised you two are not
suited for each other and go seperate ways? Or maybe you found out
after some time being with him/her/it that his/her/its character
and behaviour is too much for you to handle?
What then? Break up? After all the time you two have been through?
So you two have wasted time, energy, $$$ and many other things all
for the "fun" of it and then scoot when there is no more spark?
Then one or even both of you will be heart broken and then may
develop a certain "fear" of getting into another relationship in
the near future.
I know... You cannot help it!
He/she/it is so beautiful! The greatest creation alive that your
eyes have seen! Ya I know that, but you date that person
because you want that person to be happy OR you want to be happy at
the expense of others?
Consider this: If you date someone with an intention... or rather a
hint of breaking up in the end, know that you will be responsible
for breaking a person's heart and hurting that person just for your
own selfish sake of pleasure.
I am giving a view, not a "warning" and its meant not only for you
Tao Suan but to ALL others who have not noticed what they are
doing, and those who intend to do it.
