[QUOTE="ksm, post: 564486, member: 12511"] I am trying to keep an open mind - and I want to be sure I am not being too conservative. difficult child is 14 (and 7 months) and is a freshman in high school. I am OK with her hanging out with guy friends at school and school events. I don't think she is old (and mature) enough for one on one dating (ie: going with a guy in a car). We have offered to have her invite a guy friend to stop by the house and hang out. or watch a movie. or play wii, etc. She says she will NEVER invite a guy over here because it would be embarassing. We are not that old and that embarassing. We live in a decent neighborhood and keep an appropriately clean and updated house. husband rides a Harley, we both have a good sense of humor, and from having 13 exchange students live with us in the past, we know that we get along with teens well. We have both helped with youth groups at church in the past. She thinks we should just drop her off at a park so she can meet up with a guy "just a friend". Our guidelines have been that "real" dating starts at 16, but maybe when she is a sophomore - but not yet 16, maybe stretch the rules for a school dance type thing. Am I really out of touch?? Thanks.
