I don't find this as a good idea! Just my opinion. My kids weren't allowed one to one dating until old enough to marry. I don't think dating at a young age is a good idea. I think it stunts individual growth to become invested to early in one other person. SaveOP's son is in college. I do agree that being wrapped up in a boy/girl friend can inhibit personal development in high school. I've been relieved that my kids haven't had serious boy/girl friends. I love that their memorable events center around their friends. I've seen too many of my kids' friends go from one relationship to the next. My older two just haven't been serious about anyone. My third had one short lived boyfriend So far I've only had to get my kids through one heartbreak and that was one too many.

I don't know.. what do you mean? Consult you prior to becoming a couple? Or before breaking up? I'm confused.. I guess I don't think I know any better than my kid does when it comes to her love life. I read pridemom post with sarcasm. Maybe it wasn't intended that way, but I though she was just being playful with her comment. I also read it as sarcasm.

Thanks for all the kind comments. I guess a lot of us can all relate on this one! OP's son is in college. I do agree that being wrapped up in a boy/girl friend can inhibit personal development in high school. They did date through much of High School - but they both did their "own thing" a lot. I was always happy that they were content to spend time together, and also content to spend time with their own friends. Their social circles did overlap, but they often went their own ways with other friends. For a young romance - they both seemed very mature about it and drama free. He did have a short romance before that and the girl was always upset about something - lol - and he told me "boy I just can't handle that Mom!" LOL I know they will both be fine. I think the reality of it hit DH last night... He loved her too!
