<p>GoalieDad,
I had a frat brother who visited prostitutes. His feeling that all dating was the same, except his was a sure thing. I have dated and been “told” that the “fee” was dinner and a movie, etc.</p>
<p>I think that coed dorms at some colleges certainly downplayed the “sex” of dating - ie went out with friends.</p>
<p>Biggest fear I have is the “if you really love me you will…”. Have told all 3 ds that if that happens, to kick in the groin and run.</p>
<p>At 16, it is too late to install “minimize mistakes”. That should have happened years before.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, “the Harkness Club” is at all the boarding schools. “Forbidding” a girl (or boy) to date, may increase likiness of them joining.</p>
