[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]I don't think some of you realize what it's really like. My daughter would seriously take a chance on a date with any guy who asked.  She is not picky.  And she's pretty, thin, trendy, smart, etc. She asked 2 guys to do things over the past two weeks and one said yes but then cancelled the day of and the other hasn't replied. Both are not top 20%. They're totally average.

[b]But WHY is she so focused on dating? And why is she discussing this with you?[/b]  It's only November. She should be studying, figuring out classes and major, writing papers and hanging with kids in her dorm.  By engaging in these discussions with her, you are sending the message that having dates is critical to her freshman experience.  Are you one of those parents who weirdly think college is where you find your spouse? Are you sending that misguided message?  This is very strange behavior.  lighten up. Tell her to study, have fun, and think about the opportunities the university offers that might interest her, and research those: overseas studies, debate, clubs, singing groups, charity work, church groups, a capella, etc. [/quote]

She isn't a freshman and she has great grades, great friends, etc. It's totally normal to want to date on occasion in college. Do you propose that college girls just study full time and remain celibate for 4 years?  
This thinking is so odd and unique to DCUM.
