13 and 14 year old girls should never be allowed to "enter any type of one-on-one dating relationship" ...
And if you're a parent letting your daughter do so, you're apparently incompetent.
So if you catch your girl giggling with a group of her friends you might want to conspicuously clear your throat and glare in her general direction to indicate that such impure thoughts will not be tolerated. And should you find MASH notes and de-petaled flowers in your daughter's bedroom just tell her to ignore her hormones and forget about going to that Homecoming dance. And if you find collages of Orlando Bloom betwixt the pages of her algebra homework, you have no choice but to send her to a convent until she is of legal age.
Whatever you do, do not chaperon your daughter's dates. Do not introduce yourself and sit down and get to know the young man she has taken an interest in. Do not drive them to the movies or other agreed upon destination and return them home at a predetermined time. Do not talk to your daughter about her expectations for the event before hand and about what actually happened afterward. Do not talk to your daughter about your own expectations for the evening before hand.
None of these things are acceptable because 13 and 14 year old girls should never be allowed to "enter any type of one-on-one dating relationship" ... period.
