Ds and girls

[Hamjamwich]

Worries about ds(15) he got chatting to a girl when gaming in the summer and was constantly messaging. Declaring love and wanting to be with her forever.
That ended as he got a new girlfriend within one week of new term at school. She really liked him, walking to school and home etc. But again, too intense and she has ended it. Should I offer advice?

Not unless he asks for it.

Nope. Leave him alone.

Agree with the others. He's not going to take kindly to you saying "look son, you did lots wrong. Moving forward..."

I think only you can make this decision based on your relationship with him.
Although maybe ok to give a little nudge in the right direction or ask an open ended question if he is already talking about it.
How do other posters expect men to behave respectfully towards women without a bit of advise from the woman closest to them?
Surely it's a constant learning curve at that age?

Surely they learn a lot from observing?

@DominicRaabsTravelAgent - He's not going to take kindly to you saying "look son, you did lots wrong. Moving forward..." 😂😂
I don’t have boys, but DD has kissed a couple of frogs had a couple of bf’s and I would love their DM’s to have done this! 🙈

@Hamjamwich I agree with @whatnumber that it would be okay to give him some gentle pointers if he’s talking about relationships. It’s not easy being a teenager - so many hormones, so little sense!
