Bit of a random post but feeling really proud of my 21 year old DD. I am very close to her and she has always been (fairly!) open about boys with me.
She met a boy a week ago who she initially found she had loads in common with and really fell for. However, as the weeks gone on she has realised he pretty much just wanted sex and avoided seeing her for anything which wouldn't potentially lead to it. She has realised this is just going to lead to misery and so is not going out the the party which he would have been at (she was only going to go because he was) and says it is up to him to make an effort now and that if he really likes her he will do, otherwise there is no point getting herself into a worse situation.
I remember being that age know that I would not have done that, I would have fallen in that trap of convincing myself he liked me genuinely and it might turn into something. I would be too scared to walk away but then gutted when it would inevitably fizzle or I would realise how led on I had been. Don't know where DD gets her sensible brain from!
