Too young! but you're lucky that she said to you!!! If my daughter want to date at that age, i will talk to her what is the fact may happen when she date at that age? Give her more advice and convince her to think about that.
If she still want to date boys, I'm better to know more her boyfriends, talk to them and advice them, keep an eyes on my daughter so if anything happens, I can know how to deal with it.
Teaching her respect and humanility.
Finally it's better to prevent the problems more than solving the prolems.

You sound just like me, I am so lucky that she comes to me, but I told her what it leads to, and I believe she is not ready for that, she has not pressed the issue, she is a sweetheart, an angel, but looks like she is 18.

Fourteen is way to young to date alone with a boy. There is too much of a risk and one never knows what might happen even to nice girls. I would say until she reaches sixteen, make sure the only dates she has is when she and the boy are with another boy and girl.

That is what I told her, I am glad she came to me , rather than sneaking around, but she is way to young. She is gonna drive me crazy, but other than that she is an angel.

Awwww man..im soo glad i dont have a girl..id be already gray! lol lol! I know when i was 14 my mom let me go to the movies with a boy..i was a good girl til i turned 16..then wel...thats a whole new show! lol! but other than that ,.,that was the only time i was aloud alone..and she sat outside the movies in the car reading ..just in case hehehe! But I think group things are ok..like a trip to the mall..and movies..dances..but as for getting in a car and dating..i say 16..thats the age for driving anyways..and they have to have some kind of trust tests..but again..i think it totally depends on the child and how much u trust them..and what sux is that they mature wayy much ealrier than we did..the age 14 is the new 18! and it totaly makes me wanna cry..they are being more or less forces to grow up faster now and know and do wayy more things than parents really know..i just hope my son feels he is able to come to me with anything..lots of luck to ya!

Yes it does suck sometimes, I am starting to pull the grays out one by one with tweezers seriously, she is an angel right now, just trying to keep her that way. I am glad she comes to me with almost everything.

I think it probably depends how responsible my daughter is at 14. I would say dating wouldn't be too bad if she was very responsible. But I wouldn't let her date a boy that was 16 and could drive them to the date. Now, that is my opinion, her father says she can't date until shes 30 lol.

Yes, that is the thing, I told her if she liked that boy this much, that I could possibly drop them off at the movies and come back and pick them up, something like that, but yes this boy drives, so therefore it made it harder. She really has not pressed the issue anymore. Hopefully she will not , lol.

That is a tough one. I wasn't allowed to car date until I was 16 but if I wanted to do a group date (several couples or several people) I was allowed to have my parents or another responsible adult drive me to the location at the age of 14. I had to stay in that spot and had to call my parents to come get me when I was ready to leave. If I didn't call, they would just arrive at the location at my designated curfew time.
