[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At this point you better hope that they get in a relationship young, because the dating scene in general is such a mess.[/quote]

This is so accurate and it’s scary and I think it has a lot to do with parents preventing their teens from dating. Then they have no innocent love and firsts while they are still in the house and you can help them out.  [b]And the they go from none of that to college drunk hook ups and then to lonely working adults on dating profiles. [/b]

Romance and socialization and companionship is dying and I truly believe helicopter parents and the stress and control they put on their kids ruin their teen years. And so if they can’t date, socialize and learn how dating and like/love and boundaries work in person, they sit home like “good kids” and look at porn and sit on social media to learn. It’s not healthy.

I am totally fine with my teens dating[/quote]

This was me. I went from barely being allowed to leave the house and my mom listening on any calls with boys..to drunk hookups in college.  Then I was 25 and my mom seemed annoyed I wasn’t dating anyone. [/quote]
haha.. my mom didn't want me to move out on my own when I was 23, but I did anyways. When she called me one time I had a guy friend over and we were watching a movie.  She was upset that  I had a man over my place.  Then at 25 she despaired that I was yet to be married.  Umm.. how am I supposed to get married if I'm not allowed to be alone with a man in my own place?

I will admit that I am more concerned about dating for my DD than my DS.  I think girls tend to become more consumed with relationships than boys at this age, probably in general.[/quote]
