I’m sure hippie kid is awesome but as the dad of a 15 year old girl I’m not a fan of teenage boys.

Me either. Yuck. Lol. He's only 11. He actually does notice pretty girls, but he says he doesn't want to deal with the drama he sees at school.

@sfin52 I hope he finds a nice girl. When he's like 40.

well... 40 is a long run. Although many parents dont want to see their child grow up, 40 is harsh. lol

I seriously want him to be happy. We do openly talk about relationships. We have been doing our "date night" for a while. He opens doors, pays for dinner, and is respectful. I'm trying to teach him to be a gentleman.

Love this. I should do this with my daughters. One at a time of course so special for each.

 

[Katrina71]

I see a few things socially that I'm not really a fan of in contemporary dating. I told him you do not "hang out" or "talk to" a girl. You ask her out like a man, clearly define your intentions.

Ageed. Daddys define how other men should treat them. Details matter. Open doors, pull out chairs.

Good. He would have been a huge hit at the 4 girl slumber party at my house tonight.

Exactly. That is why I do not worry so much about them with boys. I trust them and feel I have set a good example. Taking them for a real “date” would subtly show them how it should be done. How the little things mean everything.

oh and tell him a phone relationship isnt a relationship!

 

[Katrina71]

I get to see real teenage dating at my job. I'm really blunt and have openly said "kick it to the curb" more than once.

 

[Katrina71]

Yes!!! I agree.

I've noticed this. I always end up saying something, its apparently more effective when the same age group says it to you. Not to offend anyone.

 

[Katrina71]

@Musovski I'm proud that you have that attitude.

 

[NY_Caveman]

Right and when you are in person, especially those first few dates. Put the phone away please. I feel like some of them would rather date their phones.

 

[Musovski]

Yes!!! I agree.

Dont mean to rant but i just want to get a point out.

Now-a-days, Phones have really taken off, even in the world of dating. My last relationship, which I ended nice and gently, only lasted a month. I couldnt take it! Why should I stay at home and text you or facetime you when we can go out, get some food and explore the city! I mean C'mon, the most exquisite city (in my opinion) to explore and the best thing we've done was facetime while I was out at the MET.

Thank you, Ive learned from the best, @dantimdad . TY Uncle LOL

That is sad. But glad you get it. A date at the MET is always the best date.

Right, c'mon tell me that wouldnt be a great second date. Only reason is because people express themselves faster through a painting or sculpture than they would in a face to face convo. Face to Face first date because well, how else am i supposed to know your name!?
