Sharing: Following the Internet to Romance: tough one...

» Car - tough one...

Oh... this is a tough one Susan. Honestly, knowing from my experience, she's going to go regardless of what you say. Accept that much. The best thing you can do is assure that she remains safe.

Ask her to take along a friend that she trusts. Is there a close girlfriend who could come with her? There is some safety in numbers.

Ask her what her hotel is. Make sure you have that written down somewhere. Make sure she HAS a hotel and not just staying at the guy's place.

Ask her for a picture of the guy that you can keep untils he returns. Ask her for the guy's name and number.

I don't know if your daughter is anything like me... but you could try to ask her to call each day, just to let you know she's okay.

Anyone else have advice?
