I’M astonished at how hard-headed and unromantic my 23-year-old daughter is.

She’s very promiscuous and enjoys taking risks.

Instead of finding boyfriends in the usual way – in bars, clubs or through friends – she prefers to trawl dating websites and hook-up apps.

Some weeks she dates two or three different men – and thinks nothing of having sex on a first date if she fancies it.

She insists she prefers to socialise this way as it puts her in control.

She’s very confident and says that she knows what she’s doing.

But I can’t sleep for worrying about her.

Surely, this is just so dangerous?

And she never keeps boyfriends for very long either.

In the space of a month, she brought one guy to my birthday and another to her brother’s wedding, which was very awkward.

JANE SAYS: Your daughter is her own person and can do what she likes in her own time.

I agree that seeing so many different men seems risky – even tacky – but these are the times we live in.

All you can do is beg her to be careful: to always tell you where she’s going and insist on condoms every time she has sex.

Ask her to consider her self-respect and to question whether she may live to regret this behaviour in years to come.

As for her bringing complete strangers to different family events, if you’re not happy with that, then tell her to stop.

Point out that you only want people around you who mean something and play a significant role in your life. Seeing another stranger’s face in a family photo simply isn’t on.
