Pastor, greetings from Marina Del Rey! My son is been gifting girls since he was in 5th grade and now he’s 13 and he just asked us to approve him dating a girl his same age! But it seams that the girl has so much freedom that she wants to hang out every day after school alone!!! I am so unhappy with what this is becoming! She’s a nonbeliever and her parents give her too much freedom to be with a boy! I don’t want to let my son feel like this is ok! But I don’t know what to say! I’m praying and asking God to lead me!
This is somewhat disturbing to me. My kid just turned 12 two months ago n tells me a kid recently asked her to be his Valentines...now he's asking her to go to the park n get something to eat...he's also asking her for me to meet his mother. Thisvis somewhat upsetting...not sure how to approach this past explaining that there is no boyfriend/girlfriend at 12yrs old.
My wife and I agreed that 16 was the age our daughter can start dating. Dating means I know where this boy lives, who his parents are, and when they go on a date we are there with them. We might tail 100 feet behind. There are no closed doors. We then get to nurture jesus in the young man. I look at it as a win win. Besides my daughter is going to want a man that treats her like i treat her mother. If you're not treating her mother right you might be sending the wrong message to your daughter.
Good advice

12 is a bit too young.
@@ricachona4095 sure is...these kids are too much...
Make it clear no dating under age of 18
Certainly take the opportunity to meet the mother…
