Meeting Your S/D's date in high school

[bela]

<p>

Because the handful of times he’s asked the mothers (who are usually much more accessible because they’re the ones who show up at school), they’ve all referred him to the fathers.

<p>

And these are girls who recognize that fact and even appreciate it. Most of them, if he asked them directly, would refer him to their parents.</p>

<p>IMHO, you ladies are getting out the purple clothes and red hats over absolutely nothing. He is playing by the rules that the girls themselves have set. It may not be the way you want to operate; that’s fine. It is very much the way the girls in his area (at least the ones he’s been interested in) and their families want it.

<p>I mean no disrespect to you or your son when I say that I have never met girls or mothers like the ones you describe. Even so, I have the same expectation that boys and men treat women with respect, but I’m ok with a less formal approach. You can be casual and still have good manners.</p>

<p>I don’t understand the reference to purple clothes and red hats?</p>
