Sneaking around to avoid detection when you have entered a girl's house knowing her parent isn't home is NOT dating.
Dating between a sophomore and a senior is when the senior boy comes to the family's home for dinner and meets the parent(s) before taking the girl on a non-driving excursion to a parent-approved activity.
Teenagers’ screwing around without their parents’ knowledge happens pretty often, too ... but since the outcome (a pregnant girl) affects the parents, they have a legitimate interest in dealing with it. Nothing “holier than thou” about it.
Stabbing is a strong response, but he was in the woman’s closet and she had no idea who he was. What would you think ... “My daughter’s boyfriend” or “Home invader”?
“Sneaking around to avoid detection when you have entered a girl’s house knowing her parent isn’t home is NOT dating.”
Well, it’s certainly part of dating for most teenagers in America. You may not like or approve of it, but that’s reality.
