It depends on what the date is. Like if it is to the movies and you are going to take them and pick them up…I don;'t see anything wrong with that. or roller skating… or just something appropriate for the age and not a lot of seclusion.

Sure !!! I think that is a good sign that he is asking you for permission, most kids at that age think that they can do as they please, I will make sure that the girl’s parents also know about the date , you can drive them to the place they are going and pick them up.

I was a freshman when I was 14… I think that’s an appropriate age to start dating. And I think the fact he asked and was being respectful and not trying to lie to you to hang out with a girl proves he can handle going on a date with someone the same age as him!

I wasn’t allowed to date till I was 16 (I think I was 15 when I had my first bf. Parents ok it) but we just hung out and with groups of friends always.(I couldn’t date alone till I was 16) I was a decently good kid. (I drank boy did I drink at like 10-20 but that’s a different story) I wasn’t bumping uglies or anything like that and mine knew that.

Maybe you can set the date up for them. A fun activity. You’re lucky he’s comfortable coming to you about this. :heart: let him go for it! As long as it’s harmless. I know you’re in charge but he has a voice too. At 14 I was in puppy love too :joy: it’s normal.

A hangout sesh like something super fun sure. Something like a movie date alone or dinners probably not. I’d let the kid eat at our our, but kids grow up too quickly as is I just want to push not prioritizing relationships at a young age like I did.

At 14 and he asked I think that is pretty responsible. I would be there on the sideline but we have to allow them to make those choices. The choice of the date could also be discussed by the girls parents also.

My 9 year old wanted to take his girlfriend to dinner and a movie…I let him. We picked up flowers, picked her up, went to a restaurant (I sat at a different table but where I could see them), then went to the movies (I sat away from them but where I could see them). He paid for the movie with his allowance…I paid for their dinner.

Yes because if you don’t you are going to have a child who doesn’t trust you and will hide from you. Teenagers are going to date. Telling them no doesn’t change it.

Yes I would . Going to start trusting that sometime if you can’t trust them now when are you going to trust them? That’s when they make a mistake is when you stop trusting them and you change how things are so they understand what’s right and what’s wrong.

I was going on dates at 13, my 1st real bf lasted 3yrs.
I allowed my oldest to go on dates her freshman year. We live in the country so we picked him up. They had dinner at a table, I ate in the bar where I could keep an eye on them. I dropped them off at the mall/ movies. Told them to call me when they were done. I went to the gym, windows into the mall the whole length of the gym.

Look at it from this perspective … you have one little dick to worry about we have 35 dicks to worry about!! 

Yes. Just give him the talk and talk to him about how to safely have sex. Such as condoms and dental dams. (Condoms for oral sex). Because at the end of the day they are teenagers and will want to experiment with sex. So it’s better to have that talk so they don’t end up pregnant or teen parents. Not saying it’s a bad thing but just so they know the “consequences” of unprotected sex. Also it’s a good idea to talk to him that condoms aren’t always 100% protective. That’s how I ended up pregnant. (Lost due to miscarriage). Another thing is the only way to protect against pregnancy is not to have sex but as humans, that’s not always possible. But it’s safer to have that talk with him so when it does happen he’s not surprised or shocked when it does happen.

I couldn’t date till I was 16. I also had to be doing well in school as well or I couldn’t date. Any younger and it had to be a group of us chaperoned by an adult.

No I would go with them

I think he’s a little bit young. The rule of thumb is usually 16 for dating.

When I first heard about Bitcoin, I thought it was impossible. How can you have a purely digital currency? Can’t I just copy your hard drive and have your bitcoins? I didn’t understand how that could be done, and then I looked into it and it was brilliant.

Crypto is the greatest investment to be made by anyone. Thanks to Mrs Elizabeth James I saw my payment In my wallet today thank you so much :heart::heart::heart::heart:

I would say either he can go on group dates, chaperone dates, or he could have a “date” at home while you are in your bedroom, such as order in food and they can watch a movie. But it also depends on his maturity. Have you guys had the consent talk? The sex talk? Protection talk? Is he open and honest with you, or is he more likely to hide things or lie? Either way the fact that he asked instead of lying is a great first step, so I would try to at least compromise

It all depends on your comfortability. But to be 100% honest with you, if kids want to date or do things…well…It really ain’t that hard to do it behind your back…church, school, park… doesn’t matter…JS. if you trust them, let them.

If he is a good student and you trust him to not become a love sick teenager where his grades begin dropping because ALL he could think about is the girl more than his studies, then I would let him take her out, if you’re having mixed feelings maybe suggest driving them…
if he had any ill intentions on doing something he knows you’d never allow or approve of, he would have never brought it up to you, instead he would’ve more than likely been asking you if he could “go out with a couple of his boys” on that night or would’ve asked permission to do something else that he knew you’d be okay with…

Also, when I was a teenager and would ask my parents to do something and got the big hell no; I would start thinking of ways I could go anyway and just ask them if I could go and do something else that I knew they’d let me do and then I’d try to sneak around and still go and do what I had originally wanted too… Just remember; super strict parents, make super sneaky teens…

If you allow him to date rather than forbid it- the higher the chance of them hanging out under your supervision… if they have to end up sneaking around just to see one another the bigger the issues you’ll have…

I think it depends on the kids. My daughter is 13 and couldn’t care less about boys. She has a group of friends she hangs out with. They do group things together often. One friend is a boy that lives close. He comes over often, but it’s more like a brother sister relationship. We have told her she can group date now, and once she’s 16 we would allow her to go on one on one dates. But again, she shows no interest in dating. Right now they are all just “boy buds”.

i just found out my 14 year old has a boyfriend , for about a month now . i guess the only way to be is proactive with it otherwise they will do it behind our backs . i’m taking them tomorrow to the fair for a first date. i contacted the boys parents and we discussed not leaving them unsupervised, monitoring their phones , etc . the more we try to stop it , the more the fight it . i remember being a teen. and i know how i was as a teen girl with a crush or bf .it’s scary but sometimes we have to trust their decisions as they grow . we have to still guide them but still let them earn decision making with proven responsibility.

Meet her first meet her family and then decide also date will have to be chaperoned. You can watch from a distance without introducing. It is nice that he would ask you first maybe have him ask her mom and dad if it’s ok to take their daughter out before just taking her. Give it a shot your son sounds like a mature young man

At 14 they’re old enough to start being interested in dating, and also to sneak around and see her anyway if you say no. It’s sweet that he asked. If you’re uncomfortable with it now is the time for a heart to heart about why, but if kids want to see each other they’ll find a way and it’s better to talk about the risks ahead of time than to deal with consequences later. Maybe have her over for dinner to all meet so you can get to know her while maintaining supervision ?

I think that is sweet. He’s sounding like a little gentleman. He’s a young man and I would absolutely let him. My son is also 14 and personally I would encourage this behavior if he showed an interest as dating in today’s world is rare.

Yes I would allow him, he came to you and asked first, which is very respectful. Many teens date in high school.

I have a 13 year old daughter and I can’t see myself being anywhere near comfortable enough for her to date in the next year. I’d say a group setting only for now.

When you allow your children to date is a parents individual decision. I have an almost 14 year old son and he has a girlfriend. They usually hang out in a group and go to the park up the road from our house or skating. We told him that if he wants to go on a date date, that we need to meet her parents (and her parents need to meet us) and we told him that if they want to go to dinner or a movie, we would take them. He has to work around the house to earn money to take her and we will be there as well. Not sitting with them, but the same restaurant or movie.

If he is open and honest with you now About how he is feeling and his intentions than don’t ruin that by telling him no. Kids are gonna find a way, so it’s better that we can control the situation while letting them think they are getting their way. My son is 13 and what he considers dating is harmless. He tells me about every girl, I know their names, what they do how often they talk. Do your best to be supportive don’t hinder him, but use this situation as a teaching Opportunity about how to treat women, About No is no, about How he should have self-esteem and not let himself get taken advantage of. Teaching him now that most women are crazy. You can really use this to your advantage to bond with him, and guide him the right way.

I think it’s amazing that he came to you and asked🙂. I was 12 or 11 when I had my first bf and was going on dates. (14yrs later I still have a Burger King crown from one lol)If you say no it could cause him to sneak around and do it.

I mean the fact that he asked you says a lot about him, to me. But that’s all I can speak on since I don’t know you personally. I feel if my son were to come to me and ask as long as it was a public place and not them sneaking off somewhere, I’d be okay with it. But ask me again in 7 years when he’s 14. :rofl::rofl:

If you meet the girls parents and they agree then maybe something like going to a movie or walking around the mall to shop I could see being allowed. But they would need tonbe supervised imo. Have a parent who is in the same theater or also at the mall or whatever

Not No but Hell NO. That is way to young unless you are talking about going with them, sitting with them etc. This is the time to allow the boy over in your presents only. See how they enter act. Do they sit to close, hug on each other. Then teach your daughter how to act and be respected. 14 is way to young to be alone with a boy regardless of his age

I actually let my daughter go on a date when she was 12. It was all very innocent. A boy that she was in school, and played fortnite with asked her out to lunch. She was not interested in him as anything more than a friend. She made it clear to him several times. We ended up meeting him and his parents at a restaurant. We all sat at separate tables, with the kids being in the booth between us. They played pool, listened to some music and ate their meals. He even paid the bill on his own. It was honestly the most adorable thing. I was very hesitant at first, but am so glad she had that experience. He was polite and respectful. She’s now 14, and It’s the only date she’s ever been on.

I let my son go on dates at 14… mostly just going to the movies. If you tell him no. You risk him going behind your back to do it. And then him not taking to you about things that matter to him. My daughter started dating her bf when she was 14… (she did ask first) 2.5 years later they are still together. She will be 17 in a couple weeks heading into her senior year of high school, and he just left for 18 months in his trade school. You’d be surprised how much they communicate everything to you if you support them.

Depends. Will there be an adult present? My daughter just turned 15, and I wouldn’t unless a parent was there.

Absolutely. Right now is how you build a trusting relationship with your son. The more trust you give him the more willing he’s going to be to come talk to you about things in his life.

I started dating my husband at the age of 14 and here we are 16 years later happily married!
