Take it slow!

Abella agony auntHer Mother no doubt still feels very protective of her lovely daughter.

And she may need an assurance that your intentions toward her daughter are entirely honorable - before you approach the 16 year old girl.

With a smile first. A 'hello .......(her name)'.

Ask her what she's been doing. Tell her she looks pretty.

But before that i think her Mom needs to be assured that you will be entirely respectful to her 16 year old daughter.

Do you already have a good reputation in your community?

You sound like a very responsible man and i think you are sincere.

However i am adding a checklist of the things that would freak out most Moms of a lovely 16 year old daughter if a nice 21 year old man started to show interest in their daughter.

So below is my exclusion list if a 21 year old was interested in a daughter around 16. The following is my mental checklist of what i think represents a young man who would be respected in a community:

That is, he is not known for promiscuity? He speaks and acts respectfully towards women? He does not drink alcohol to the point of embarassing himself? He either studies full time or works/studies to the equivalent of full time. He never gets into fights, he never drives a car too fast nor recklessly. He will never touch illicit drugs. He has never done things that caused trouble with Police. He does not have a nasty temper, he does not destroy property in a rage, nor get abusive to others ? He has a range of friends who behave similarly well

If all the above answers are satisfactory then a mother would welcome a respectful approach to her from a respectful young man, seeking to ask the Mom about wishing to take her daughter out, but you are not sure what to say..

And rarely would i suggest this, but in this instance a respectful approach to her mother, first, if your own behavior already ticks all the right boxes, just might work.

This would also allow the Mom to set some standards down to ensure her young daughter is respected.

Afterall you are an adult young man, and she is still a 16 year old girl.

Once the ground rules are established, then you can start talking more to this young girl who has so impressed you.
