Last week on holiday, after seeing a couple gazing into each others' eyes my ten year old son told me quietly that he is in love. He said I'd never guess in a million years who it was - after asking about girls at school I asked if it was a boy and he said yes. I asked him who and he said no-one he knows but someone he saw in the street a few weeks ago, a boy of his own age he saw when he was out with his dad.
I gently asked him about how he felt when he saw this boy but he would not say any more and said he wanted to change the subject.
This is bothering me in lots of different levels. Can he be sure of his feelings, is it someone he's making up to hide a real boy, is the whole thing made up? He has recently done sex ed at school and has a teenage sister and there's often talk about people fancying each other... anyhow, advice please and happy to answer questions...
