Speaking from experience... we can give them learning and benefit of our own experiences, but in the final it comes to HER and her decisions... and as we all know, our judgments at that age arent always of the best, and almost always if anything "happens" it is up to HER consent and willing participation... steered mine to birth control and common sense... but she is a lot like me- headstrong and stubborn. And like her Mom, not inclined to take scheisse from anybody ...I handed the kid my daughter started dating my 1911. After he cleared it (I was slightly impressed) and handed it back, I told him to remember I have a gun with your finger prints all over it....
Couple years later and we are ok friendly terms but I know he is just the right amount of scared of me.
I signed his last birthday card:
From Joe - you a cool kid, I hope you have a great year and happy birthday.
From the dad of the girl your dating: I like you enough to make it painless if I have to put you down.
There was a chuckle and then some uncomfortable (not from me but my wife, daughter and the BF) silence after that lol.
Having a pretty daughter could be worse for me for sure but she's fairly conservative.
