Well it happened and then it got interesting...
Prior to her date, she confided that she "didn't think that she was ready for a boyfriend" citing all her schoolwork and the free time that she has she likes to spend with her friends, and fencing twice a week (the sport, not selling stolen goods). So she decided that she would break it off if he wanted to go out again. Lo and behold, after they had walked around the zoo for a couple of hours he asked and she told him that she wasn't ready for a boyfriend. He said something to the effect of "well thats a conversation ender" and that was that...
They talked later in the day via Facebook and at some point in the future are planning on getting together with a group of friends (guys and girls) and going to the movies. They are also planning on playing some World of Warcraft together (I wasn't invited for WoW, so I whined but I'm better now).
Couple of things that we talked to her about was if she is interested in someone else and told him she wasnt ready as a cop-out, and then she starts seeing someone else then there will be hard feelings and could get uncomfortable. Also, if he decides to go after someone else we asked how she would feel, she said she wouldn't care..
Anyway, as a dad I must say that I am pleased of the way she handled it (unless there is more to the story) and how she recognized she doesn't want or really need to have more "on her plate" than she does now. I find myself feeling some empathy for the guy, it's tough getting dumped anytime but especially at that age.
