You don't have to answer this but what would be the ideal thing you would like a guy to say to you when taking his daugher out. Just for my curiosity if you want to answer

I am looking at how you present yourself. Do you look me in the eye while we are talking? Do you appear nervous or disheveled?

(This question is probably not applicable to you) When I ask you what your plans for the evening are do you hesitate or try to deflect my question? (BTW - My daughter has told me her version of the itinerary so your answer should back that up.)

Be prepared to talk about yourself. What do you like to do? Sports is a good ice breaker. College/job is a plus.

Basically I want to know that my precious bundle of joy can expect to have a safe, enjoyable evening. I trust her judgment, so I am not worried about you getting too far without her approval in the physical contact department, I am just making sure that you aren't a psychopath.

Most of this applies to a 16 year old, but I hope you can take something useful from it. When my daughter turns 18, I recognize that I have to let her live her life.
