[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child never dated in high school did things change in college?
By no dates I mean no communication or texting or 1:1 with the opposite sex aside from going with a male "date" in a group of kids to homecoming or prom. She is going to graduate next week and I'm so curious about this. She'll be 19 in the fall. [/quote]

This is a unusual. On my own kid I’ve seen some type of interest as 1:1 talking, texting walking together home starting with the 4th grade and keeps ramping up slowly over the years. Still quite innocent, just learning to interact with the opposite gender.

While boys are more oblivious in the early years, girls are far more savvy and even in middle school they try set up situations to have interactions with boys, get a friend to probe if he likes her, dropping a not so subtle hint etc.

Are you very strict, did you give the daughter the message that she is not allowed to date, etc? My kid’s friend said he would never tell his parents if he had a girlfriend or anything leading up to that, because the parents would start asking “does she play the piano, is she good in school, are your grades dropping bc of her”.
