Modern parents didn't have Snapchat streaks to maintain or Twitter DMs to slide into when they were in their teens — and somehow they survived! It's safe to say "going steady" years ago was a lot different than how today's teenagers date, even beyond the standpoints of technology and social media. Even if they had their fair share of dates "back in the day," you can't blame parents for being a little clueless — and terrified — to broach the subject of dating with their own teenage daughters. Here are a few tips to make your daughter's dating life as painless as possible for the both of you.
