Whew! I went back and read this thread from the beginning just to see what the fuss was about. So I'm not about to go to another page without commenting. 27 years old is a mature woman in my book. She should have been up and down and around the town once or twice already. She knows what she is doing flirting with an older man. She has the capacity and the right to choose who she wants to date. AFWAW says "Would you like to go out?" And right there, she has the right to say yes or no. And all along she has the choice to put her heart in or not. I don't know about your 25 year old daughter, but my 24 year old daughter has no interest in my opinion on her dates, and she most certainly thinks I shuld have NO opinion on anyone else's dates. Period. Go have a good time AFWAW.
