I think you are being a good mom. I started at a very young age trying to explain to my daughter that the Disney "fall madly in love with your true love and live happily ever after thing" isn't reality and is, in fact, probably a dangerous thing to teach girls. I know it's fun to believe in soulmates, love at first sight, etc., but I think girls have to know that in the long run, the crush fades and you aren't going to be happy unless you are with someone who will treat you with respect, kindness and will WORK to make the relationship last. And, at 19, she is at an age where she could definitely get involved with someone seriously, so it's important to make sure it's the right someone.
