[quote=Anonymous]I think there is a middle ground and this is what we plan to do, and is what my parents did for me. I thought it was fine and have had no issues from it.

Dating in groups senior year (that didn't come up before senior year but junior/senior year seems reasonable) So if a group of us wanted to go to the movies, and there were couples, that was fine but no 1:1.
No boys upstairs 
No boys in the home or me at a boys home unless parents were there
No dates during the week. No calls after 830 pm
Only 1 date/outing at night on the weekend (to discourage seriousness and encourage friends). So pick Friday or Saturday night but not both
There was a lot of discussion about not being emotionally mature enough to handle a serious relationship, that high school was time for friends of both sexes, the importance of school work and sports, clubs over activities and the general "you have a whole life to be in a romantic relationship, not when you are 15" kind of thing.
We hung out plenty with our little boyfriends at school, sports events, school activities and around town but never got into those serious 24/7 all encompassing serious relationships until college and after and I am grateful.
