Some people really don't start dating until college. The important thing is to get comfortable in social situations with women. Dating makes this so much simpler.

Obviously if you come across a chance to have a relationship then go for it :)
Hope this has helped you

 No it's not important, but it can be useful, same as learning to play the piano. Good for some people, but not for all. Some people date young and get into a lot of trouble. Some people date young and get hurt and start to make bad choices in the future. But many young people date safely, make good friends, learn to think about other people. Dating is good for teaching you empathy (understanding other's feelings) sharing, and compromise.
Not all young people date. Some do and are successful, some do and get hurt. It really depends on the young persons involved and the society they come from.

 Dating in your adolescence is important, in the sense that it helps you to understand other people your age and at your stage of development. It's an important part of the socialization process. I'm not necessarilly talking about exclusive relationships. Having boyfriends and girlfriends helps you grow and mature -- you learn from each other and find that you're not alone in what's happening with you. Humans are social creatures, and hanging out with people who are in your same boat is a very comforting thing.
