Daughter and her Relationships

  • KatP speaks the sense.

    All I will say is that I had a teenagerdom (if that's a word) very similar to your daughters - I always liked guys who never really liked me back or had girlfriends or were in some way not available, and got rather a lot of stick for it from so called 'popular' people which used to get me down an awful lot. I was also very much the 'all or nothing' type of romantic then as well which probably didn't help.

    I met my first and current boyfriend at university when I was 19, and we were friends for a year before we got together just over two years ago.

    As others have said I think your daughter's got a very sensible and rare attitude and she should be praised for that. There's certainly nothing wrong with her having boys as friends and getting to know them better before she goes out with one of them, better that than going out and getting hammered and falling into bed with a succession of dubious blokes. The best thing you can do for her now is let her know you're there if she ever wants to talk to you about it.

    Their "relationship" is back on! :confused:

    He texted her to say sorry that he hadn't rung. Oh well, I'll just stay in the background and see what happens.
