[quote=Anonymous]I admire your self awareness and wisdom here, OP.  I am sorry people are being judgy and flippant. I can see you are trying to develop a perspective on this that transcends your experience, but it's hard.  I was also raised conservatively but was allowed to date. I am glad my daughters have no interest in dating, but if they did, I would not try to stop them. As a previous poster said, going to the dance is not even really dating. Even if he does date, that doesn't necessarily mean being distracted or having sex or any of the other dating fears. As others said, if you try to stop him you will drive a wedge between you. You may already be dealing with this if you are conservative with rules.  I would encourage you to try to get him to trust you with what is going on in his life.  You can't control him, but if he trusts you, he will probably listen to you. That's about the best you can hope for.

As for the relationship w/ his sister, that is a sibling issue and totally unrelated to girls he would be interested in dating. I can see how you view it as competition in terms of time and interest, but it just isn't. Siblings are there own thing!

Good luck![/quote]
