Questions/Answers
What boundaries have you set with your teen and dating?
I have a 14-1/2 year old freshman daughter who was just asked to homecoming. I am allowing her to go, as they are going in a large group and I have just met the young man for the first time. I still maintain she's too young to date one-on-one and she cannot get into a car with someone that I have not met/do not know. What rules have you set up with your teen and dating? I have a 19 year old son who did not start dating until he was a junior/senior in high school. He was interested in school activities, sports and working - so I was not prepared for this to happen so soon. Please no sarcastic comments - I am looking for parents' replies - not other teens. Thanks!
I'm not a parent, so I apologize in advance for answering anyways, but I just felt that I could give some input. I, too, am 14-1/2 and a freshman. I'm an only child, so its really difficult for my parents to know what boundaries should be set in place. I wasn't allowed to go on dates other than group outings until highschool started this year, and now I can go on one-on-one dates. I'm not looking for anything serious at this age, so my parents can trust that I'm not going to do anything stupid, or in the moment. I got asked to homecoming on Friday by the one guy that I've gone on a date with this year. I'm really excited, but I understand that my parents are going to have some rules. Considering the fact that we're both 14, we can't drive, so a parent has to be in the car. My parents don't know his parents, but I was allowed to be driven home by them. My parents trust that I know which certain situations are safe, and which aren't, and I do. I won't get in a car with someone unless it feels safe- and I know that hardly seems like something to base judgement on, a feeling, but its going with your gut. My parents don't really have any other rules except that I need to make the safest, and best choices for myself, which is definitely what I do and I wouldn't want it any other way. I would let your daughter have fun, but to be on the safe side, I would ask to meet his parents first. That way you can feel things out to see how they are with the dating. I think that would be the next step. But also, don't put too much pressure on your daughter with the meeting of his parents situation since this homecoming date might not amount to anything more than just a date to a dance. Don't treat it like they're actually going to start dating.
What can cause carbon dating to be inaccurate?
Alright, I know there's controversy about whether or not it's accurate anyways, BUT assuming that it is accurate, what are some things that can mess with the results of a carbon dating test?
Nowadays, assuming the work is done carefully, making all of the known adjustments, the only significant question is whether the C14 level in the atmosphere was always at the same level. A lot of factors could make a difference, like major variations in volcanic activity or the strength of the earth's magnetic field.
How do I stop my son from dating a woman with small breasts?
My son is turning 18 soon and has recently begun dating. However his first girlfriend has very small breasts, probably an A-cup. Now god bless his heart, he loves her ever so much, but I'd like to set a firm precedent to avoid future heartbreak. I wouldn't want him to be ridiculed by his friends and classmates for 'going out with a flatty' as I would have been back in my younger years. Unendowed females are also generally emotionally unstable due to low self-esteem (I don't want a teenage drama queen on my son's hands!) My biggest worry is that many years down the line, their female children would be 'flat chicks' as well. I'd like my son to be a spittin' image of his old man, and to help him avoid some obvious mistakes. Should I forbid him from dating her or let him figure it out for himself over time?
If you feel that strongly about it, maybe you should shell out for augmentation surgery for the poor girl! for the folks giving me thumbs down, I was being sarcastic!
How do you work with people who are dating?
Two key people who work in our office are openly dating. They often leave at the same time to run errands and take exotic vacations together. It's uncomfortable since I have too work closely with both of them - and they cover for each other when there is missed time. It doesn't seem fair to the rest of us because we have to watch what we say around them, they cover for each other when one leaves the office, and sometimes they leave together and are gone for long periods of time. We are a very small office so the behavior is noticeable - and no one else in the office is related or dating. I ignore it and just keep working. But I don't approve of it. What would you do?
The focus in the workplace should be on work behaviors and performance. So... you are justified in observing and being annoyed at the behaviors they are exhibiting such as being out of the office for long periods of time, etc. You would have the same issue with a single person who was doing the same thing, right? If their actions and behaviors affect you in a professional way, then you must deal with it as with any other workplace issue. Speak with either or both of them about the impact on you. As for having to watch what you say around them... well, you need to watch what you say around anyone in the office because you never know what interpersonal situations exist. Consider yourself lucky that you are aware of this relationship and can censor yourself accordingly. And just remember to keep your own attitude focused on the business impact, not on your personal opinion of the appropriateness of a workplace relationship.
How strict is the military on dating in the Guard and Reserves?
Hello, I am a Cadet in the Army and will be commissioned at the end of this school year. My question is I met a girl who is joining the Navy reserves and plans to become an officer too but won't be able to for at least another half school year. My question is we have so much in common and have a lot of fun together but I was just wondering how strict the reserve side would be on dating somone from another branch who is also in the reserves and is planning to become an officer but isnt at the moment? I know there is a good chance that I wouldnt even half to sneek around because in the reserves no one would even know since it is a once a month thing but I dont really want to get in trouble at all.
There will be no problem at all. You are both officers. The problem will be that you will most likely be stationed in different parts of the world.
