[quote=Anonymous]I left it up to them. Daughter started "dating" at end of 8th grade. It lasted one summer and it was a good experience in understanding that other people can be very needy and whack. She waited until 11th grade to date again but this time chose a very un-needy person and that also didn't end well. She's now dating someone where they both understand it will end when the academic program ends. Son started "dating" in 10th grade and it lasted a few months. She pursued him and he thought it would be an interesting experience until he realized he liked hanging out and playing basketball with his guy friends more than hanging out with her psychotherapy investigations of everything he would utter. So I think these experiences taught them to understand themselves and their expectations.[/quote]
