Wow! You've finally made your first step in the real world!
You're going to feel embarassed about this when you look back at it in a few years time.
"dating" as you like to call it, is nothing new at 12. I started when I was 12. 14? You should have had or have a girlfriend by 15. And even if you havent, you should have at least kissed a girl.
My feeling is that you'll believe all the bullstuff propaganda that is fed to you by support-parenting type organizations that comes to you.
