There's nothing wrong with that, it's just chaperoning. I'd do the same if it was my daughter (actually I wouldn't even let her go). I homeschooled as well, all my kids are very successful in every way.

I had a girlfriend like that in high school, Lucky her dad didn't kill me. They love their kids, that is all. I shudder to think about what I put some dads through back then. Wasn't raised well at all.

I would consider it an honor to 'go out' with a girl like that. More than likely, she is a prize, well brought up.

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."

Biblically, and the puritans and reformers held to this also, there was no 'interim' period where a young girl was not under the 'headship' and protection of a male, the daughter stayed at home until married where this headship was then transferred to the husband.

This seems crazy only because we have as a country / society, fallen so far. You will see though that there are many, if not most, male Voaters here on this forum, who would totally agree with this. So at least some progress is being made.

Also, arranged marriages were normal, albeit if a young girl did not love someone the situation was terminated. We certainly looked for mates for our kids within our own church and culture and social strata.

I could go on, I won't.
