Many women recall the time in life when they first started thinking about dating.
Usually, sometime around middle school or high school, girls and boys start keeping an eye out for that special someone. For some girls, this means they can start spending time with their crushes.
But many girls have dating rules that their parents have given them. Whether that means just having an evening curfew or needing to have the date meet Mom and Dad before heading out, a lot of teen girls know exactly what their parents require when it comes to dating.
Lots of dads even like to joke that they won't let their daughters date until they're 30 or 40 years old.

Within just 10 days, the post had over 7,900 reactions and almost 38,000 shares.

Jeff posted a photo of his 'rules' along with the caption, "I ain't raisin' no princesses."
His dating rules read as follows:
Rules for dating my daughters:
You'll have to ask them what their rules are.
I’m not raising my little girls to be the kind of women who need their daddy to act like a creepy possessive bad*ss in order for them to be treated with respect.
You will respect them, and if you don’t, I promise they won’t need my help putting you back in your place.
Good luck pumpkin.
Hundreds of people commented on Jeff's dating rules, praising him for his progressive attitude.
One woman wrote, "Best post to ever be written — the pumpkin part makes me laugh each time! Your daughters are lucky as hell to have such an amazing support."
A man commented, "Salute from one dad to another."
And another dad wrote, "This is ace! Thank you for articulating my sentiments exactly!"
And this isn't the first time Jeff has written about his daughters.
