Daughter's First Sorta Date
My 13-year-old daughter has a boyfriend and wanting her to be able to confide in me, and hearing what she has to say, are really two different things. They held hands during a movie at school even though she said PDA (public displays of affection aren't allowed) - not PDAs - electronic handheld devices used for keeping track of your life like appointments, birthdays, contacts, etc. I have to hear about how good he smells and his muscles (gag). I took her to meet him at the movies. I sat elsewhere and heard all about how he put his arm around her and held her hand. It makes me cringe a bit to think about my oldest girl being old enough to do this but if you think "I" cringe, you should see her dad. He does not want to hear about anything - at - all!
She called it a date. I told her it was a "sorta" date. It's not a date until the guy can pick you up, come in to get grilled by the parents, and leave (with his tail tucked between his legs too scared to make a move) with your child for a solo date.
