chaperoned dates
Accompanied romantic meetings
Chaperoned dates are romantic outings where a third party accompanies the couple, typically to ensure proper behavior or safety.
The practice is associated with traditional courtship customs, religious communities, and protective parents: Her father insisted on chaperoned dates until she turned eighteen.
The chaperone—often a parent, older sibling, or trusted adult—monitors the interaction without fully participating.
