[quote=Anonymous]I didn’t date in HS and ended up just fine and married at 28.  I went to an all girls private high school and we didn’t have much one-on-one interaction with boys.  I do think this made me less confident dealing with boys in college and my unease came across as aloofness/disinterest.  I didn’t really feel comfortable dating until I was out of college and so wish I had had more experience.

I have two HS sons.  One has a girlfriend and about half of his large friend group has a gf or has had a gf (or multiple girlfriends over time).   They are the jocks/popular kids and they have dated/interacted with girls since freshman year.  Before that, many of them had a “girlfriend” but in middle school, all that meant was that they texted- they never went on actual dates either as a group or individually.

My other son is shy and his group does not interact with girls much, much less dates.

People come into dating at their own pace, so I wouldn’t worry about your daughter.[/quote]
