<p>In most cases, that was true with us too. Basically, our kids knew the expectations (rules) for every day life in our house, and those pretty much applied to dating too:</p>
<p>Curfew
Conuct in general
Sexual conduct
Self respect - don’t allow people to mistreat you</p>
<p>But we did want to meet the guy, we wanted him to come in, we wanted to know a little about him, etc.</p>
<p>If I had boys, I would feel exactly the same. Except that I’d add the instruction that Oldfort posted - in both directions. Because of biology, the girl is the decision maker when it comes to having/not having a baby. Either way, you share that responsibility - so make good decisions.</p>
