I don't believe women should date. It causes too much heartache during a break up and if I had a daughter I wouldn't want her to go through that. I would want her to court a guy. If I had a son I might not be able to control him, but I would be able to control a daughter. Does this make sense?

You are worried because of the kind of boy you where? Or your mates? That is perfectly normal for you to feel this way about a daughter, Father's have the duty of care to protect there girls. However if you bring her up right to value & respect herself and be a great father you will find your daughter will grow up having respect for herself and her emotions and her body!
You will have to teach her about love and life at some stage, but keeping her on a tight leash is also not the way to go. She will need to know about love and life for herself and the heartache that that can cause sometimes or the beauty it can be as well. Love is not all bad, it is just hard work.
But if you do your job properly as a dad then she would get over it and have learnt a whole load of lessons about what she doesnt want and what she does want in a man. Mums And Dads just have to allow there children to make mistakes and always be there to lift there spirits and get them back on track again and pick up the pieces

I have three daughtrs and two sons and they are quints born this month. I would NOT let any of them date until they are atleast 16. I think it's the other way around you won't be able to control your son. If they don't date then guys can't date either becuase they can't go with anyone. Daughters are like perfect angels guys are the ones I am concerned about. Good to know you care for your daughter and you have a nice reason.

You can say that you won't let your daughter date, at least while she's living under your roof, but you can't stop human nature. I remember my parents said I couldn't date until I was 16, but until that time I had what I used to call playground boyfriends. My freshman year of high school I had several boyfriends within school and I would spend before and after school with them, as well as lunch break. And some times I had break ups that hurt, but it makes you stronger as a person. When I was finally able to date I had even more break ups and it still hurt. I'm married now, and it still hurts. So realize that you're fighting a losing battle and just try to be as close to your daughters as possible so that they feel loved and can come to you with anything.

Courting is just the old fashioned term for dating. Yes I would let my daughter date. We love our kids and a break ups are hard on anyone, but thinking you should shield her from a broken heart is unreasonable. Parents that do this usually wind up having teen daughters that choose any guy and wind up with a loser or pregnant, trust me I know this from my own experience. Kids are crafty and they will find all kinds of ways around their parents wishes.

yes I would let my daughter date once she reached a time in her life I felt was mature enough and the boy was in her age group (aka i'm not my 15 yr old with a 21 yr old) and also mature. My parents met every boy I dated til i was 17 or 18 years old. You cannot CONTROL your children.... they are there own person and if you are TOO controlling they will only rebel and defy you. You know I'm right sandy! have a good night and tell your mom i said whats up!

I have a daughter but she is only 4, so when she gets old enough I will have to sit down and discuss dating with her, I am worried though because she is a very pretty little girl, I have no doubt she will grow to be even more pretty and all the guys are going to come chasing her, thats when my real troubles begin, so I wouldnt want her to date anyone but it's realistic that she will.

I have one of each - and if you think you have control over them after age 16, you're seriously delusional. Neither is easy to control, especially if you raised them to be self sufficient individuals - it comes back to bite you, truly.
And yes, I let them both date - one is still on group dates, and the other has had the same significant other in their lives for the past 4 years.
We're resigned ot the fact that afer college they will likely marry.

Your statement doesn't make much sense.
I think my daughters will date, but it will be with in boundaries. At least until they are 18.
They need to go through lifes challenges to know that they've actually lived.
Mistakes are made for a reason, so we can learn from them. I can only hope that after 18 they are wise enough to know right from wrong, good from bad....

OK, tell me the difference between dating and courting? I think the result can be the same. It's not like courting guarantees a life-long happy marriage or whatever.

No, it does not make sense. As the father of two daughters, I can assure you that you can never truly control them. You're only fooling yourself if you think otherwise. Life is sometimes difficult, teach them and guide them, then let them grow.
