18. I guess at a reasonable age, it's ok to start dating... You
have to be mature enough to handle it (of course, you'll still be
inexperience as you've just started it..). The thing is to know how
to balance it off with varies aspects of your life. Not only
studies.. Your friends, your own activities and family..
etc.?
The problem is when we're young, we often THINK that we're already
mature enough for alot of things.. True that we have our own belief
and understanding of relationships.. But when it comes to handling
them, it's a totally different issue.
