Question
Our 15 yr old comes in and out of moodiness and maturity. He is doing well in some school classes amd not so well in others. Your advice has been very helpful to me. There is a girl that he is apparently interested in taking to a school dance. She seems sweet and they participate in the same sports. He was interested in her a year or two ago and we learned that she has two mothers and no father. We had a discussion at the time about how this would not be a good relationship to pursue. Yes, I know he is a kid, but I have always believed that you don't date a person that you wouldn't marry. He did not continue any relationship at the time. I have read in your comments that you shouldn't try to choose friends or dating partners. Do you think this applies across the board? Do you think we should express our concerns again? An additional issue is that he would likely not ask the girl out on his own, but there is a meddlesome mattie girl in his class that is orchestrating him asking the girl out. The girls these days are relentless and won't let it go. Thank you for any suggestions you have.
