Summary of: “Elderly and Teenage Generations Have Different Views on Relationships” When asked about the suitable age for dating, 25% of teenage respondents believed the suitable age for dating is between 11 and 15 years old. However, the elderly respondents thought the minimum age for dating should be 16 years old and above. With regard to premarital sex, close to 50% of the teenage respondents approved of such behavior. This approval figure was higher than that of the elderly respondents by six-fold.
