Fortunately my 16 year old daughter has only found "stupid boys" so far. Thank God she has such high standards!

Seeing as to how I was that age about seven years ago, it sounds perfectly normal to me.

Worst thing you can do is oppose it or create barriers of any sort, it'll play into a Romeo and Juliet fantasy. I have two sisters, I watched my dad crash and burn...

My daughters are 10 and 6. My plan is to have a BBQ and refer to what I am cooking as long pig. Mention my time as a prisoner in Turkey and inform him of all the new tortures Vlad Tespes devised during his reign. Then wish him a pleasent night.

8 simple rules for dating my teenage daughter

Rule One: If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure as heck not picking anything up.

Rule Two: You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.

Rule Three: I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, In order to assure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric staple gun and fasten your trousers securely in place around your waist.

Rule Four: I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate: when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I WILL kill you.

Rule Five: In order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is "early."

Rule Six: I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make YOU cry.

Rule Seven: As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process which can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?

Rule Eight: The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places lacking parents, policemen, or nuns. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka zipped up to her chin. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which feature chainsaws are okay. Hockey games are okay.

Hey, if her boyfriend will actually get a job and work for a living, be thankful. So many young gals in my church get married to (or at least pregnant with) young men able to but WILL NOT WORK.

I could preach you all sermon, but you get the idea.

Don't even get me started on "compatibility."

Actually, ask if he has a driver's license. Then order him to produce it. Then ask if his car is registered. Then tell him to go outside and bring the regestration in. Then ask if he has auto insurance. Then tell him to go back outside and get it, letting him know that he should have thought to bring that in, too, and your disappointed in his lack of preparation.

Also, ask him where he's taking your daughter. If you get anything other than a direct answer (ie: "I'm taking her out to see at the ), such as "We're just going to hang out" or "We haven't decided yet", show him the door, and tell him to get in his car, drive around the block, and come back when he understands what being a man and asking a girl for a date is all about.

I've seen that done, and it really catches the little pervs off-guard, and sets the tone.

serleran · Post by **serleran** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 7:15 pm

I am unsure if this is a faithlessness in the daughter's ability to select someone she would like to go out with, or a general fear of what men are often supposed to be like at that age... neither is a good thing, but the former is certainly far worse.

Kids are stupid, dude. That is a Fundamental Law of the Universe. They have neither personal experience or the rational capacity to understand the experiences of others. They are going to smack headlong into the same things everyone older than them smacked into.

Fathers - we've been through this. Young women can have absolutely foul tastes in young men, and it doesn't help that 18 is the new 12.

Yes, most of the time, the right thing to do is let the kid learn on her own, but it's goddamn heartbreaking to have to pick up the pieces. We don't want our little girls getting hurt, taken advantage of, or worse.

I think it's healthy to have some distrust in the capacity of one's daughter to make good decisions on who to date, particularly in this day and age. That doesn't mean that the kid should have to show a passport when picking her up.

Never underestimate the benefits when two teenagers know they are being watched. If done correctly, it's the healthiest thing for all involved.

Wouldn't that be even worse? I mean, really, the guy could take her out of the country. Almost.

I suppose that depends on how cloistered the child is, and what life experiences they have had -- being an adult does not mean you are mature.

I had forgotten about that! Indeed 100% idiot, but it seems they cannot live without it. That and wearing shoes untied... Now I must admit that the marketing guys at WotC knew what they did, when they made 4e for a younger audience...
