How I Ended Up on an Accidental Date While Chaperoning My Teen Daughter

I’m 34, my daughter is 15, but she looks a few years older. So guys approach her in the streets when we walk to ask her out.

My daughter and I have agreed that if she likes a guy, I will just stand nearby quietly while they’re talking.
So, once a guy (18 years old) invited my daughter to the movies, and she agreed. I set a condition that I’d join her for this first date. She didn’t mind.

When we arrived, we found my daughter’s suitor and his friend.
The suitor didn’t know that I was her mother, and brought a friend for me – a 17-year-old freshman student who talked about computer games and TikToks during the entire movie, and tried to kiss me when we were parting. You should have heard my husband laugh when he found out I was “on a date.” But my daughter really liked that guy, and they had a good time together.
