[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't care about having a date for homecoming. That's fine. But I'm not entertaining a pseudo-serious boyfriend-girlfriend relationship in the 9th grade for my daughter. That cannot and should not be her priority at 14.[/quote]

+1 Finally, a voice of reason. [/quote]

And what if she says they are “ just friends.” Then is it ok to hang out at each others houses, the mall, etc together?[/quote]

No. We don’t encourage opposite sex friendships as I don’t believe they can just be platonic friends.[/quote]

Wow. Way to make the opposite sex even more appealing and mysterious. Do you let them work on school projects together? Will they be allowed to have a job or be on a coed sports team like XC? This is legitimately ridiculous. And sad. Some of my son’s closest friends are girls he has no romantic interest in. [/quote]

Also, the opposite sex friendships are how to you learn to interact with an eventual bf/gf.

The boy doesn't burp and fart around his female friends, but he will around his boys.  Stuff like that.
