Is it ok for a boy or girl...

Are there special circumstances? Are they doing it in private? Are they creating a distraction for others? Is it inappropriate behavior for the location or situation?to wolf whistle at each other?I think it is not necessary.What do you think?
I am not sure I see a problem unless they are doing it during a funeral, in the middle of a sermon or some place where it would disturb others.

The kind of situation I am talking about is like were a girl or boy is walking down the street and the opposite gender does a wolf whistle.
Strangers I take it then. It is considered inappropriate in general these days, but it depends on the people involved. Some people enjoy the attention. Many women consider it degrading behavior, but many do not. It is certainly not something one should do at work and many companies have policies preventing it.
A couple of kids doing it, probably isn't going to be an issue.
If your church says not to do it, I would go with that. Since I am told there are penalties for independence that could put your membership at stake.

Is flirting OK? It's what people in the world do...but not something that genuine Christians would be doing.
Seems harmless...but what could it lead to? (James 1:13-15)
“You heard that it was said: ‘You must not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that everyone who keeps on looking at a woman so as to have a passion for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If, now, your right eye is making you stumble, tear it out and throw it away from you. For it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be pitched into Ge·henʹna. 30 Also, if your right hand is making you stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. For it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to land in Ge·henʹna." (Matthew 5:27-30)
In a world ruled by satan, it pays to be careful.

I also don't think it's necessary, but some people still do it. I don't think it was ever really considered acceptable in polite society, although it's been a part of the popular culture for generations. However, in the past few decades, more and more women have spoken out against it, so it seems less acceptable now than it might have been in the past.
I had a friend at work who I would sometimes drive home on occasion, and he slightly irked me with his habit of yelling things like "hey baby" every time we'd drive past an attractive young woman. I asked him why he did that, and he defended the practice by saying that "women loved it" and that they take it as a compliment. His view was that cat-calling and wolf whistling made women feel good.
From the women I've heard on the subject, their view is completely the opposite, so I'm not sure why there would be such a disconnect.
Personally, I never do it. I would be too embarrassed to do so, and besides, I can't whistle.

It's generally considered rude. Whether being rude is okay or not depends on one's sensibilities.to wolf whistle at each other?I think it is not necessary.What do you think?

Depends on the culture. Some think it's cute. Some think it's anything but classy. I can't whistle very well anyway, so for me it's a mute topic.

I think people need to start talking to those they are interested instead using of outdated and shallow mating habits.
It would be cool if it did. Ann Landers or Dear Abby. I think the advice here would be just as good.

Why would someone do that?
It is rude and obnoxious, it displays lack of respect and understanding of the opposite gender. I consider it ignorant

I'd find it vulgar, but then I'm a snob.
