Don't know that one, but I can appreciate the sentiment, even though never
having had a teenaged daughter (luckily for the lads in my town!)

I mean, she'd have my genetics so she'd be good looking for sure &, being a
man, I know whgat those boys/young men are thinking/wanting, & NO!!!!

I wouldn't control her choices freedom, but I'd definitely clear out the 
worst ones on her behalf.

My adult step-dauyghter, if ever she hgets interestedf & finds someone
likewise interested back will run it by her mom & me, as she's smart enough 
to know we have experience & perspective she doesn't & we love her.

One guy, also French-Canadian was interested, but on meeting my wife, he(she
said) used disrespectful language, in French, sort of saying "hey, you!"
instead of "good morning, Mrs. Pope, nice to meet you."

I'm not aware of how that would present for someone outside of Quebec, but my
wife said it was clearly an insolent attitude; my daughter overheard & that
wqas the end of him! Ghosted into obscurity. . .

First dates are always fun to recall (usually)

It was mine and my wife's 25th wedding anniversary the other day and she said
to me "Did you know i wore this on our first date and it still fits me"...

I said "Its a scarf"...

On their first date, a man asked his companion if she'd like a drink with
dinner.
"Oh, no, what would I tell my Sunday school class?" she said.
Later, he offered her a cigarette. "Oh, no, what would I tell my Sunday 
school class?" she said again.
On the drive home, he saw a motel. Figuring he had nothing to lose, he asked
if she wanted to stop in there.
"Okay," his date replied.
"What will you tell your Sunday school class?" he asked, shocked.
"The same thing I always tell them. 'You don't have to drink or smoke to have
a good time.'"
-=-
I always ask a funny question on first dates.
"Are you a serial killer? "

Its healthy to avoid competition in a relationship.

[First date] 
Her: So what do you do?
Him: I’m working on eliminating all cancers.

Her: Wow! That’s impressive!

Him: Next, I’ll move on to Capricorns.

On our first date, I couldn't figure out why my wife was acting like a fish.
Turns out she was just being Koi.

aaaand. . .scene!
