To ask whether your daughters boyfriends see them home?

[dottypotter]

Do teen boys still walk their girfriends home in the evening after going out or being at their house?

When I was younger, your bf always walked you home in the dark.
Never let you just see yourself home? Walked or drive you.
Is it still the same now?

I wasn't like that when I was young, and I'm in my 40s, so my guess is that it depends where you live and what sort of bf you have.

Yes, my daughters are walked home.
My son is 17, walks his girlfriend home, always.

Yes it is still the case with my DD’s boyfriends. Also when she was at uni, the last few years, her friends who were boys used to walk her and her friends home before going home themselves.

Mine never did, he was lovely boy in all other ways. I lived the other side of town. I wouldn't have expected it though as was fiercely independent (as I am now!)

I would expect the boys to walk girls home (unless they are being picked up). Or if the girl is from further away, to the train station (unless we offered a lift). If they didn't do it of their own accord, we would certainly be talking to them about it.

Yes, dd's bf always walks her home unless he knows that she has a lift.

Tbh, the boys in her friendship group are very good and would walk the girls home even if they weren't in relationships with them. They usually try to arrange ubers etc so that the girls are never left in them by themselves as well. They're generally very sweet.

My dd doesn’t have a Boy friend but she has friends that are boys and they always make sure she gets back safe to her uni accommodation, they have a rule that no one walks home alone or leaves a club/bar alone.

My daughter's boyfriend always brought her home and my son always brought his girlfriends home. Every time. I told my son to always wait for his girlfriends to get safely inside before he drove away.

I am 44. I have never been walked home. Neither have either of my kids.

Never heard of this except in romantic movies. Is it actually a thing?

Yes and DS also walks me home if he is not staying with me - and his female friends at Uni. On Sat he walked me 1/2 mile home then turned back and walked back into town to meet his friends. He also carries heavy stuff and is generally great.

Yes, it most certainly is a thing!!

I used to feel bad for dd's bf sometimes as his house is near town and ours is further out so it would add nearly an hour of extra walking time for him. I often used to offer to drop him home afterwards but he usually declined!

These days, they're both adults and dd is more likely to just stay over at his house, but he still walks her home from time to time, e.g. if she needs to be here at home in the morning.

Her platonic male friends would do the same though, for any of the girls in the group. It is just considered the done thing as far as they're concerned, and I will admit to being very grateful for that!

My first BF (between 16 - 21) used to walk me home until I was about 18, then I'd happily walk home by myself.

My son walks his girlfriend to the bus stop and waits with her until the bus comes. The bus stop at the other end is right outside her house, or he'd take her all the way. They're 19.

He's a good lad.

Yes it really is. How would your DD’s get home after a night out with a boy then? At the very least they should be making sure she gets in a cab safely.

Yes quite normal. Male friends making sure female friend/ gf getting home safely is definitely a thing and a decent one too. Sad that you or your dc haven't experienced that.

Yes always dropped home whether walked, drove or put in taxi then a message to ask if I was back okay.

Only 1 man didn’t. First date. Got along really well, walking home the same way at 1am, me quite drunk. I commented that my house was 5 minutes further on than his (well known route through an underpass), he merrily waved me off as he went into his own house. Didn’t message to ask if I was home or anything. Was baffled when I declined a second date.

I don't remember it being a thing when I was young, but maybe it's just me? I wouldn't have wanted to be walked home like I was in some sort of danger just from being a woman out of the house.

It wasn't a thing with me growing up (30's) but then I wouldn't have liked it anyway, I was more than capable of getting my own taxi etc home or walking a few feet home without a man walking me there like a child. It would've put me off if a date had tried to insist on it.

My ds12 walkshus gf home after school

*walks his 🙄

My DD is at uni now in a city.

She gets herself home by electric wheelchair. It goes faster than most boys can walk to be honest.

Before she was at uni we lived in a village and she went out in the town 40 mins drive away. I can't imagine how long that would take to walk but nobody ever did. Maybe 30 miles?

She got home by train and bike usually.
