<p>I try to let my daughter be in control of her romantic pursuits. If she wants the date to meet me, fine. If she doesn’t, that is OK with me. I really don’t think I would be able to ‘size up’ a boy in the 10 minutes or so that he would chat with me. Of course he would be on his best behavior with me. I have to trust that my D had more reliable data to go on when she agreed to go on a date with him.</p>
