Oh man! I definately need a Blue Moon (maybe a case) and a good long soak...
My 16 year old son is on his first date. He has his Dad's car and is taking out a girl he met on a visit to West Chester University last week. OK all you techies..I need GPS tracking device in the car...I need to find out everything about this girls family, her parents what they do, who they know...where they work..Where they (hopefully) go to church. I can't even imagine how I would feel tonight if I had a daughter on a first date... :o
Term and all of you with young kids..enjoy them while they are youngins..they grow up so fast. :'(..I spent the night hanging up old family pictures of us when the kids were babies...
I am not doing very well with this at all... :-/ :'(

LOL, just call her parents. They're probably biting their nails wondering about your son and his family as well! ;D
Vinny:
Boni,
First dates especially at 16 are probably last dates. My 16 YO was "dating" girls without having a car. Dating is quoted because they either hang out at school or hang out at the girls house.
If you really want to track him ... activate his phone's GPS and get the chaperone feature for your phone! - we all know kids don't leave cell phones behind!
But if dating doesn't stop at one - make sure you explain to the girl's parents that a house is more important than a silly over priced wedding AND you expect to have some holidays at your house. Being parents of boys we need to lay the ground rules! If the girl's parents don't want to listen - do everything in your power to break them up!! :o
Of course this is coming from a man who's wife won't let him handle ANY situations ... I am sometimes "coached" BEFORE situations arise!!! LOL! ;D
IlliniFan:
My husband made a check list for our daughters dates. And grilled them prior to leaving the house. Things such as.
1. Have you or do you now have any sexually transmitted disease?
2. What are your plans after high school?
3. How would you plan to support my daughter?
etc. etc. Then he would try to be polishing gun when date came to pick her up.
This seemed to discourage second dates.
Cyn:
Oh, Boni, you have my sympathy!! I made sure I had coached my son about how to treat girls...that helped me to feel better about the whole thing. I also added 'THE' talk and had that one a few more times during those high school years of dating. Keep in mind that you can't control this area...he will date and fall in love without your approval ;) so knowing all about his girlfriends will just make you worry more...and for nothing most of the time!! I found if I didn't get overly worried, what I could have been overly worried about never came to pass. Save your worrying for the BIG issues, LOL... :) My son is now engaged to a wonderful girl!! Good Luck!!
