My 15 yr old daughters first date.
A thread in progress...
She met a boy online & they& #39;ve been talking for a bit. Of course I& #39;m sus. He cld be a 40yr old dude trying to kidnap her right?! You cant be too careful.
A few weeks ago she asked if she could go to the movies with him+

It was going to be a group thing with her friend, his friend and my older son and his gf, but the plan fell apart last minute.
Yesterday she asked me if I would drive 45 mins to pick this kid up from his house and then drive them to the theater to see a movie.+

45 minutes for some boy that cld be a serial killer for all I know... Anyway, she was very nervous and asking me lots of questions about first kisses and what to do if he tries anything in the theater. It was a good convo. I think I did okay in the motherly advice department +
Today she cleaned my car and made me take out all the BTS pics I had up on my visor cuz shes worried he& #39;ll think she has a fetish for Asian guys (yes, hes Asian).
She was very calm all day, until we got in the car...

During the 45 minute car ride she probably said she was going to throw up 100 times. She worried about everything.
Shld she stay in the front seat or get in the back with him when he got in the car?
Were her bangs laying right?
Carmex or Skittles lip balm?
It went on and on...

Mom side note: I told her not to worry about her lips cuz they shld be staying under her mask anyway!
Good news is, we got to his house and he& #39;s who he says he is. So that was a relief.
His mom waved nervously to us (his whole family was outside. It was sort of adorable)
But then we began the 10 minute drive from his house to the theater. And my daughter became a mute...

Thankfully I& #39;m a talker, so I engaged the young man in conversation. Now Im sitting in a movie theater parking lot tweeting this and praying that this seemingly nice boy isnt taking advantage of that dark theater...
Im also worrying that shes too young. This is too soon for her to be going on dates!! But i know her and I know what a bright, mature, sensible young lady she is, and Im sort of happy she pushed through her serious shyness issue and took this step.
Shes so different than me at this age. Shes so much more innocent and intelligent than I ever was.
I hope shes not stressing out too much. I hope he holds her hand (and nothing more!). I hope she has a perfect first date experience.

They shld be coming out any minute. Why am I so nervous?! I feel like Im gonna pee.

Movie started at 5 and was 1hr and 16 minutes long. She hasnt come out yet. How long before I can start to panic?
Post date update:
You cld tell they were both much more relaxed as soon as they exited the theater.
We made small talk during the 10 min drive to drop him at a friends house.

As soon as he was out of the car
Me: well??
She said they talked through the whole movie abt all kinds of stuff and that there was no kissing or anything like that (thank goodness) but he did ask her to hold up her hand at one point to compare hand sizes and held his hand to hers

She said she was really nervous but that he has, and these are her words... "A really chill aura"
He asked her to come to one of his wrestling meets and told her abt how nervous he was waiting for us to pick him up, and how many times he changed clothes.
Adorable!!!

Honestly I couldn& #39;t have planned a better first date experience for her. We dropped him off at a friends house and he was texting her within 10 minutes.
