Theres no one age when people “should” start dating — plenty of people dont start until their late teens or after, and some people start earlier. At 12, going out in groups is a lot more common — and can probably be a lot easier and more fun, too — than going out with just one other person on a DATE-date.

Is an 11 year old dating a 13 year old bad?

No. It is not normal. Males should date someone at least 5 years younger than they and girls someone at least 5 years older due to both maturation differences and so that the girl will be treated with some more patience.
