[quote=Anonymous]15 seems fine for a date/outing like this and it is good he asked you. Shutting him down, as others have noted, is note likely to stop him from dating but it is likely to stop him from telling you. Kids often will go to movies together but break off from their group with their "boyfriend" and unless you are there to monitor, it is hard to control (and I assure you at 15 you are not going to be welcome to monitor and if you try to do so covertly you are a total loser). Same is true when they hang out with friends or spend time together after school etc. 15 is a good age to let them have more space and to trust and guide them without controlling them. [/quote]
