Your first boyfriend or girlfriend

Morrigoon · 10-13-2008, 08:50 AM

I supposedly had a "boyfriend" when I was 13 or 14. Didn't amount to much although he made me a mix tape and suffered through my dance recital. I know we didn't kiss, because I was 18 and in jr. college when I got my first real boyfriend kiss from my first "real" boyfriend.

But yeah, "dating" at 13 can be pretty innocent, it doesn't have to be a bad thing. It depends on how committed your daughter is to not "giving in" before her time.

I was 21 and was an innocent angel until then. I married him, and he is the daddy to ToriBear, my 13 year old girl who posts here and who I hope reads this and actually believes it.

Mmmmhmmmm, rriigghhttt. Like you were an innocent angel. (Rolls eyes)
Coming from the woman who had a new boyfriend every week when she was younger.
I have yet to have a boyfriend due to the fact that mom keeps scaring them off Jk.

I don't scare off potential boyfriends- that's your Dad's job.

Certainly reading the Twilight books gave her an example to wait when other girls she knows (that are not her friend) have already had abortions. (or at least they claim that - who can tell for sure.) We talked about birth control a few times and I tend to get this "it doesn't really apply to me" attitude because I'm waiting until I get married. I know that can all change though so I'm telling her all about it anyway. If anything, it makes it easier to talk about the more I do it.

Loving the comments and advice though. I need to hear other experiences besides my husbands and my own.

And again, I'm really liking the group outings thing until she's 16. Good advice.
