Is it normal to date at 11?
Depends.It depends
It’s not unusual to have a crush or call someone your boyfriend or girlfriend at 11. At that age, dating should be simple, age-appropriate, and free of pressure.
Lots of 11-year-olds have crushes or try out the idea of dating, while others aren’t interested at all. Either way is normal. At this age, “dating” often just means talking, hanging out, or having a special person—not having to act like an adult couple.
Go at a pace that feels comfortable, keep things age-appropriate, and don’t do anything just because someone expects it. It can also help to talk with a trusted adult about family rules and plans for spending time together.
