[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 564535, member: 6546"] This is true - but what threw me for a loop was the change in priorities. When I was a teen, one would date first...there'd be some hand-holding, some kissing, some minor make-out sessions...then the releationship would progress to the stage where sex was a consideration. I mistakenly assumed that this would hold true today. I assumed that sex would not even be an issue until my daughter had a few dates and began to be "serious" about one guy in particular. Instead, what seems to have changed is that the physical stuff is viewed as "casual". Something to do with friends and people you don't know very well. Then if you really "like" someone, you move beyond the casual physical stuff and start having actual "dates" where you go to the house and meet the parents and that sort of thing. I also learned that teens can do an awful lot and still consider themselves "virgins". Oral sex doesn't count - I guess. Go figure. In this area, church groups are a big social thing. Lots of traditional "dating" goes on amongst these peer groups because the parents are so involved in the socializing. In my opinion, the area to be concerned about is the unsupervised "[I]Oh, we're just gonna hang out[/I]..." scene. [/QUOTE]
