What age limit (for BF or GF) would you be comfortable with?

18 or younger. there is too much of a difference between kids in high school and out of high school.

No one who has graduated from high school

well since G's not dating till he's 30...LOL

seriously though, no higher than 18 or 19 and i REALLY have to like her...

if we had a girl...I know this is double standard, but I would be way more protective...

This, but I would prefer if she weren't dating at all. I won't be really strict, but I will give her my recommendation to ignore.

I can tell that at 16 DD will make good choices, so I will let her pick and use the computer in her own room...alone.

Has to be in high school too - cannot be in college or in grade school

So you'd be ok with a 30-year-old high school dropout?

*ba-dum ching!*

Someone who is also in high school. No older. Which is completely hypocritical because I dated 30 yr olds when I was 16, but i don't want DD to make the same mistakes I did.

18

Once Avery is 16 she is on her own. My job is done. I think it should be done at 12 or 13, but DH has some thing about us needing to drive her places until she gets her license. Whatev. I will still parent her until 16 then I guess, marriage is all about compromise.
