Thanks for all the replies and encouragement. As time passes between the initial shock that she is going out, I feel more at ease. It sucks that she has to grow-up but I'm not sure if its she's growing up or I'm getting older.
We try and be open about everything that our parents were not, alcohol, drugs, and sex. We don't really hide anything but we also don't go for full disclosure, and hope that we can have open dialogues like snowy mentioned. So far that seems to be the case, although she tells her mom more than she does me, which is expected. And yes, a can of pepper spray will be a must buy in the near future to ward off those "guys like me" types.
