I'm only speaking about me and my experience. I don't know you or your daughter, so please do not take anything I am saying personally.

When I was a young girl, and boys started to ask me out, my mother emphasized to me that I should not hurt boys feelings. I feel that in my case, this was a huge problem, because it put me in a lot of awkward situations where I spent more time worrying about the boys feelings than honoring my own feelings.
