I couldn't date until I was 16. (Sneaking out at 15 to meet my boyfriend at the skating rink doesn't count, right?) Anyhow, her hard and fast rule was: Pay for your own meal/movie/entertainment so that you are not obligated. And always have money to call for a taxi.
I expanded it to: Let's take my car. I've left more than 1 drunken boy in a shopping center parking lot! Well, 2 is more than 1, but "more than 1" sounds more dramatic.
