[quote=Anonymous]I'm really surprised everyone is anti-dating! I love dating in middle school -- it's an easy way to figure stuff out without as many life threatening consequences. (my 17 year old DS could be drinking, driving, sex, etc). My 8th grade 14 year old has a girl friend. They text, hang out at school and occasionally go to the mall or movies. It's a great chance for me to shape his views on dating ---we talk a lot about consent, being a good friend/partner, being nice to her friends, remembering her birthday. If they want to go somewhere, me, my DH or the girl's parents have to drive so we know where they are, we know the girls' parents and we have some joint rules about them not being allowed in their rooms with doors closed, for example. He might make some mistakes with her, but how else will he learn? By the time they get to be 17, like my older one, it's harder to manage because they are more independent. [/quote]
