No. The primary purpose of dating is to find a mate. Many cultures still have parents serve in this role, but typically not in the United States. An 11 year girl in any culture is not physically or emotionally mature enough to deal with searching for a mate - especially in the United States. Many have not started menses and if they have, it is very early. In addition, the boys involved are typically older - 13 to 15 years old, and they are also not in the stage in life to find a mate, nor are they physically or emotionally capable of engaging in our "American mating ritual" in a healthy or balanced way.


Unfortunately, American culture and parents have neglected providing the guidance and healthy boundaries that children need. Our society has taken the creed out of context - that everyone, even our children, have the independent right to peruse happiness. Yet, teaching a child to delay gratification is actually essential to being able to be a heappy, well-adjusted adult. Not to mention, their desire for a boy-friend is probably motivated by external media hype and pressure from peers. Allowing real boy-friends does not help prepare the child for the challenges of adolescence or adulthood in our sexually charged society.
