How do I bring up dating to my parents?

I’m turning around the age where I want to start dating. Nothing really serious; just something like group dating or like walking home from school, sitting at lunch, etc. My parents are super strict and conservative, and are the no-sex-until-marrage type. I love my moral beliefs, values and parents, but how can I tell them this? They think I should just pay attention to school and my grades will drop. I’m a straight A student and I know that will never happen. If my grades fall, I’ll do everything in my power to fix it. My parents believe I’m not ready, but I’m pretty sure about this. How can I bring up this touchy subject?
No siblings, 13. Like I said, NOTHING serious.
