It's kind of sad not to encourage your kids to date. Oh, I don't know. I remember a lot of pushing by parents when I was a kid and that caused a lot of self consciousness. I figure that young people will get around to dating whenever they get around to it. Karen

A teenager's reluctance to join the dating scene is not in itself laudable. A great deal depends on the reason. For some teenagers, it may be a decision that they feel is responsible. For others it may be unquestioning adherence to the dictates of authority. For others - and I suspect that this would be the largest group - it might be simple insecurity and fear of rejection, not necessarily something we would wish to encourage. Sometimes a parent has to look beyond phenomena - even phenomena of which we approve - and consider causes.
