I think having a casual boyfriend is okay at 13. Basically, they see each other at school, talk or text on the phone, maybe he comes over once in a while. I wouldn't let my daughters actually "date" at that age though or go out alone with a boy. Going to a group outing or school dance or something would probably be okay with me. Real dates, I think around 15-16 is good, if they are both mature and responsible.
