One of my teenage sons who has alot going for him has liked this girl this past year.  Now what bothers him is that she is always surrounded by her friends.  He feels like he can't get to her.  He has a name for these girls surrounding her like her body guards or something like that.  But he has given up on her because of this.  I suggested to him that he calls her.  But it bothers him that he just can't talk to her at school without them being in the way.  Now my oldest teenage daughter just went on a date this weekend that he called her and asked her out.  She is shy.  They didn't even hold hands.  *sigh*  She read thru this Love Smart web pages because she said she doesn't want to be old and lonely and wants to learn something to help her in her dating life.  The only thing I didn't like about her date is that our dog barked and growled at him for 15 minutes.  (She hardly barks at anyone.  It made me have to wonder as a parent if he had drugs or something  **laugh**....  ) otherwise I liked him.  NOW a lesson from my baby he is 8 yrs old.  AW now this is sweet.  Well he liked this girl who has been in his class for the past 3 years.  I know her and she is a cutie.  Unbeknownst to me, he goes and gets her this gumball machine ring.  It was really pretty and had silver hearts all connected around in a circle.  He writes her this note that say "I like you.  Will you be my girlfriend?"  He tapes it all up and puts a big crayon colored pink heart on it and then he tapes the ring to it.  And he gives it to her after school cuz he said he didn't want to get "catched" by the teacher."  Well 2 days later she sends him a note that says: "I am too young to have a boyfriend, but can I keep the ring?"  He writes her back and says: "Why do you want to keep the ring?"  And she writes back and says "because it's pretty."  And he writes back and says:  "OK then you can keep the ring."  He thought of this all himself.  Noone suggested it.  hmmmmmmm.
