Granted, that makes me a late bloomer when it comes to the dating scene, but I'm kind of glad that voice-cracking, teenage me never had to ask a classmate's parents if I could take their daughter to the movies.

And some creepy old guy asked me if he could date her, he'd be finding his ass on the receiving end of my boot.

B. Consent doesn't have a transitive property. One person can't give consent for sexual touching on behalf on another person.
C. Even if they could, a 14 year old still can't give consent and, by extension, neither could her parents.
