[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not American, but I don’t see the issue with carpooling. What’s wrong with that? We don’t do sleepovers due to a fear of SA, and we wouldn’t allow dating, because we don’t believe in intimacy before marriage, but what is wrong with carpooling?[/quote]

Honestly, we believe this too, but the problem now is that kids are not really dating at all.  Teach your kids how to date properly in high school while under your roof.  How to ask, how to accept, how to refuse, how to plan, how to treat someone.  Encourage group dates.

Nope. No need to do all of that.  Dating is not serving the teens well.  There is not one redeeming reason for it.

However, I will agree that you teach them various scenarios of casual dating safely in college.  They should know that they don't have to have sex with someone.  My DD dated in college but always had her own car, decided on where she wanted to go, and paid for her own share.  [/quote]

Sounds like you're an expert. So she drove herself to dates and paid for herself? Sounds like she had a lot of first dates and had no idea how to enter or maintain a relationship. Hmmm. [/quote]
