    My mom is the same with me because I look older than what I really am too. But me & my mom are pretty close & I know right from wrong . So I guess it really depends on how close you 2 are . I'm pretty sure she has gone behind your back anyway to date some guy , I mean what teenager wouldn't ? But you should sit down & have a talk with her . Maybe she will come to understandings . My mom did that to me & I totally understood where she was coming from

    She's 16, of course she's going to talk about men and dating. As a parent you should be able to communicate with her about anything. Having a strong rapport with your children is extremely important, especially at this age. Chances are she's not interested in men extremely older than her despite their attraction to her. Tell her about your concerns, she will listen. Keep an eye on her and others.

    You should start talking to her about college and doing something important with her life. You are on the right track in not allowing her to date older guys. Don't think though that she isn't being approached or that she isn't considering it. Tell her that beauty isn't going to last forever and that she should know that accidents and misfortune happen everyday to people. She must not rely on her looks to be her future. If she knows you expect better, a child will usually rise to the expectation you present.

    Instead of forbidding her from dating older men, try explaining to her why you perfer for her not to date out of her age. I understand you don't want her to be taken advantage of but sometime,it's better to let kids make their own mistakes. She's 16 but like you said she looks like shes a 25 year old model , so she's going to look more appealing to older men. Help her make decisions, don't deside for her.

    You have to actually talk to her yourself, about the dangers of it and everything.
