Same here, I was a teenage girl in the 70’s could not date till I was 16. My dad found out that there was a guy probably in his early 20’s that was interested in me.....I found out later my father had a talk with him and I never had even a conversation with the guy again.....
Gotta love my dad.....
Glad you turned out ok.
Aside from providing us with food and shelter when we are children, parents also have to get us through those troublesome teen years when some things that seem so right to us then would be such a big mistake, but we just don’t know enough to see it or understand it completely yet...
My Dad was exactly the same way. He always expected to know exactly where we were going and when we would be home. None of us dated until we were 16. The guy always came in to pick me up; no horn blowing in the driveway. If there was any danger of me being late it was expected for me to call, or else! There were a lot of drive-in eateries when I was dating (like in Happy Days) and it was normal for me to look up and see Dad in his car somewhere watching us. LOL We kept him busy during our teenage years. He had three girls that were two years apart. It was his duty to protect our virtue at any cost or inconvenience. :-)
