DATING, VERSION 2023

There were a few occasions when one of my boys would come home and say, "Look, I know I'm past curfew, but I was taking her home." I couldn't confirm these stories, and my sons could have been snowing me, but l wanted to give them guidance around dating that wasn't based in "don't" and "no." This is largely because dating is so much more complicated for my boys than it was for me.
