[quote=Anonymous]I would say no one-on-one dates is bizarrely restrictive for a 16 year old so long as you don't have any reason not to trust her (or him) and they're in a public place. I agree with no weekday dates unless it's a particularly special occasion (school dance, linked to a birthday, one time event, etc) and then make it clear that it's up to you depending on how things are going with school, managing responsibilities, etc. Weekends I would say 11 pm curfew or midnight pre-cleared with specifics (e.g., movie or concert where you know where/when it is); let her decide if the extra hour is worth telling you exactly what they're up to (it probably is -- which is a good thing without you seeming like you're keeping unreasonably close tabs). Always give her some cash/a credit card so she's never in an awkward situation; you can always work out specifics of how she'll pay you back later/if it happens.[/quote]
