When should I tell my mom I like guys? And when should I ask her if I can start dating?

I am 12. I really like this guy at my school. And I really want to date him. But my question is, should I tell her I like him? Because when I was about 11 or so, I started posting on facebook that I like a guy and I can't get him off my mind. I don't think she was to happy about that. I'm going to be 13 in like two months. (June 11th) I want to tell her but I'm afraid of how she is going to react. I told her how I walked with my friend to get candy at 7/11 and she asked ';Is he cute?'; And I said ';I don't know.'; and then she asked ';Do you like him?'; and I said ';Mom, hes only my friend.'; And he was actually the guy I liked. She doesn't really know if I like guys or not yet. I'm just not sure if I should tell her. I don't want her to freak out. And should I tell her after I turn 13? Because she might think its normal for me to like guys at 12. She probably did when she was 12..But I really wanna know if I should tell her or not. Because I don't want her to feel like I'm growing up to fast. But I really need to start talking to her about this stuff. I mean, I got asked to go to a dance with a guy last year. But it was just a regular dance. And she asked ';Do you like him'; and I never replied. Cause I did like that guy. I'm just really confused. I need to know if I should tell her or not. And I have another question, when should I ask her if I can start dating. Before I turn 14?? I don't know. Please help me!When should I tell my mom I like guys? And when should I ask her if I can start dating?
You should be able to tell your mother anything. It sounds to me like by her asking you about your feelings about guys she is trying to take part in your life. You really should let her in and tell her that you are starting to notice guys and that your starting to like them and are wanting to date. Your mother can help you through this better than anyone here can. Right now what your going through is normal. But you need your mother to guide you through it. That's what parents are for.When should I tell my mom I like guys? And when should I ask her if I can start dating?
You're too young to date in my opinion, but you can tell your mom you have a crush on a boy and she might not take it so seriously.

Well..just be like'Mom,i think i kinda like this guy now.'


And see what she says..Its natrual for a mom to say that you can't date.


Good Luck: )





Sorry,for the short answer.
I didnt even read your whole question but from what i did read i think it should be no problem to let your mom know your interested in the guy you want to date. she was your age once, so she knows that your at the age where your starting to have crushes and your getting really interested in boys. dont ask her if you can date him, just ask if you can hang out with him as a friend because most likely she will not like you having a ';boyfriend'; yet. my little cousin is your age and has had a ';boyfriend'; for over a year now. They go to eachothers houses and watch movies together. Their parents know eachother so they are okay with it..maybe if you really want to ';date'; this boy, have your mom meet his and then maybe she will be alright with it.
tell her you like him. but dating? define dating.....





i think if you and another guy your age were ';boyfriend and girlfriend'; who sat together at lunch, walked around in the halls, and seen each other at football games, that's perfectly fine!





but dating like going to each others houses and going out places together, that's a little much for a 12 year old. but definately talk to your mom about it. she knows what's best for you!
Calm down girlie! Just tell her ';I like a boy at school [insert name here]. He makes my heart flutter and I'm nervous about it. Would it be ok with you if he and I hung out as more than friends?';





There's a good chance she started liking boys at 12 or 13 too. Waiting a few months until your 13 wont make much of a difference. No matter how old you are, you'll always be her little girl.
i personally have been dating since i was bout 12, but i never really told my mom till bout 14, my mom acted the same way urs did, so just slowly bring it on, start trusting her more and more with the guy stuff and eventually she'll be used to it enough that you can ask bigger questions. the way i started was by mentioning my friends boyfriends, so try that. hope i helped
Well she is your mom so should be willing to tell her that you like a guy. Have a talk with her about whether or not you should date this guy and see if it's ok with her.





In my personal opinion you're far to young to be dating anybody right now. Have fun with your friends for now and worry about boyfriends when you get into high school or something.





Hope this helps.
I think personally u too young to start dating


and ya u can tell ur mom u like someone


don't mention this name but kinda talk bout him alot


about u dating him


what like a couple years


my mom I just started dating and she met him


dint care


but





ur too young
She is your mother. She was a little girl once. I'm sure she knows you like boys. At your age they are not guys, they are boys and you are a little girl. You might want to ask your mother when can you start dating, don't be surprised is she says you have to wait until you are 16. You are wayyyyyyyyy too young to be thinking about liking boys. You are barely a teenager.





You need to focus on schoolwork and getting an education and I don't mean an education in boys. Boys will always be around, they have been for years and they will be. You are not missing anything. You have your entire life to date and have boys and guys and men. Now is not the time. I know that you have been on the Earth for 12 years and you think you know it all. You don't have a clue. You think you have some idea, you haven't even touched the surface.





In all honesty, a woman doesn't even begin to know who she really is until she is about 35 maybe 38 years old. Take your time with boys and wanting to date. Think about high school and getting to college. Best Wishes :)
I am 14 and ahhhh! I remember the day I told my mom bout this and ur right! She did say the stuff about me growing up and everything! I would start out like this- '; Hey mom remeber the time i went to 7/11 with that boy? Well now I sorta like him and im not sure what to do!'; I would make sure that whoever u date, make sure ur friends with them BEFORE u get to the dating process! Many parents say that their child cant date until 13 and that was how my dad waz although my mom didnt really mind. And dont worry! Everyone evencially has to tell there parents about it


i hope i helped!!
i don't even have to read past the first line.your 12 years old almost 13 and your way too young to be dating.you don't even have a clue of what dangers lie out there.you need to sit down with your mother and father and have them give you an idea what your in for dating at your age.if your parents say no to the dating idea you will get all mad at your parents thinking they don't care what you want but i have news for you ,nobody knows better than your parents.don't rebel against them and remember i told you this,if you rebel and get it in your mind that their wrong,the day will come when you will realize that they were right and you should have listened to your parents.but i hope you are smart enough not to let that happen.you have a long life ahead of you so enjoy it while you can because you only get one crack at it,there are no second chances.one wrong decision can change your life forever so do it right the first time.good luck and i wish you all the happiness in the world i would like your parents to read what i had to say
