Argh! My worst nightmare! All I can say is, if you know she's a good kid, she should be okay. It sounds very bad, to an adults ears, hearing 'boyfriend' and '12' in the same sentence...but then I think back to when I was 12, and lots of my friends had 'boyfriends' (not me because I was a tomboy....ewwww boyfriends!). But it was pretty much just a title, with lots of awkward giggles etc from everyone, lots of little 'love' notes...maybe a bit of hand holding and a sneaking peck on the lips here and there. Your DD sounds like she's a looked and pretty popular with the boys, so I guess you can't stop the inevitable So long as you're happy that she knows what's what and what sort of behaviour you expect from her, it seems like it's just going to have to play out. Soooo glad I've got a while until I need to worry about that!
