Hi Ladies,
DD turning 14 in November is starting to have a lot of boys ask her out. I knew it would happen soon because i see the admiring glances she gets from boys her age and much older. She is quite petite for her age but she has filled out in all the right places. I have even had women comment to me on her build, she does not flaunt it she usually wears jeans and t-shirts or sweaters but definitely nothing revealing.
Anyway, there is a boy that she likes. She asked if she could go to the movies with him and i let her go but i drove her there and picked her up. She said they had a lot of fun and chatted quite a bit through out the movie. I waited in the car for her for about 10 minutes until his mom arrived to pick him up and then he walked her to the car. He seemed like a nice boy, he opened doors for her and he didn't even try to hold her hand.
I had my first boyfriend at her age and it was very innocent and sweet but she seems so young. I am just thrilled that she is talking to me about her feelings because she is normally very private but she has really opened up.
I know i can trust her completely, she knows her boundaries and she has a very good head on her shoulders. So i guess my question is at what age would you allow your daughter to date?
Thanks,
Kelly

I don't think 14 is mature enough to deal with sexual emotions. The relationship usually won't last at this age, and most girls end up hurt because the boy will go on to the next girl and not give her another thought. Maybe girls these days just don't care about that?

Ekmama, I totally agree with you.

I don't have any hard and fast rules.
Marylandcrab, I agree with you.

Your whole main concept of not allowing dating till much later is respectable and just fine.
