Of course I'd let her. At age 18, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to try to limit who she sees, and it's not like I could actually stop her. The most I could do is create a power struggle that causes her to hide it from me, which isn't productive. If I'm concerned for her safety, I should be there if she needs me, but I can't do that unless I trust her judgement.
Mom or dad, would you allow your 18yo daughter to date a 21yo guy?
