I disagree.

If you're going to make mistakes while dating, and you will, it is best to make them while still with your parents. Always go out for you first few times with their safety net below you - just in case.

Waiting until you're 20 is delaying too long. Consider that the best time to have your children is when you're in your 20's. Trying to fit college/career, with dating/mate selection and having children - it is simply too much to deal with all at once especially for 'beginners' who no longer have that parental safety net beneath them.

To be learning about men while at the same time trying to find a husband - well, you're bound to make mistakes and time's running out. Not a good situation to be in. So get your education now by practicing with such single males are in your vicinity. Remember this is eductional, this is not 'husband-hunting' - the point is to get sufficient experience so you can make an informed and sensible choice later on.

There's no sense hanging about when it comes to life.
