My daughter is 15 and I let her date. In the past year or two it's always been "boyfriends," they go to movies and on "dates" but it's never really been more than that. It was always cute hearing about the drama in middle school, who liked who. She's starting to date for real now, boys that she has things in common with that aren't just "cute" and I'll admit it worries me a little but I trust her.

She's extremely smart and she's made it clear to me that she doesn't think teenagers are mature enough to make decisions about sex and that she is staying abstinent until marriage. I do make sure to meet the boys she dates, but she has good taste and they're usually sweet boys.
