What age did your ds become interested in girls?

[Ladyof]

Just that really, what year were they in?

Difficult to day as my ds had always had friends who were girls.
His hobbies meant that he would mention various girls, who were just his mates.
Then, of course, he wouldn't have discussed with his parents if he had a crush on someone.....
His first gf we knew about was in the Upper 6th but she was the first 'serious' or 'long term' I suspect rather than the first 'date'.

About 16 - some initial interest when first started secondary but first serious girlfriend was about 17.

17 when he met his first girlfriend (that I knew about ), a lovely girl and the relationship lasted nearly two years ... ended fairly amicably and no other girlfriends since.

Mine always had friends who were girls but I do remember him blushingly fancying a girl when he was a gruff thirteen year old. He used to help her with things and do stuff for her on the computer. All his friends fancied her too :-). She was a couple of years older.

He had his first girlfriend when he was 14. She was older than him. When it was over he didn't have another girlfriend for years.

Just about to turn 17. Had 'been seeing' a girl in his class but it seems to have fizzled out and when I asked he said he'd lost interest.

Still more interested in hanging with his mates, to be honest. They are tall, good looking, sporty sorts - who just don't seem to be interested in girls. More into FIFA, football and Call of Duty. I suspect they are all a bit immature - but all their year group (Y12) seem the same.

14.5 first serious girlfriend.

DS1 about 11 he is now 14 and has had tok many girlfriends to count, sometimes more than one at once. Dont worry he has been told in no uncertain terms that this is unacceptable. DS2 is now 11 and isn't interested at all he is also not interested in boys.

Yr 9 so about 13/14. And we knew immediately as he'd get in the shower daily without being asked to have one. DD exactly the same!!

Never - he likes boys.

17, first of his group to have a GF. Been with her nearly a year.

Never going to happen - he likes boys.

DS1 was about 7-8 years old the first time he told me he was thought he was in love with a girl friend. They exchanged some cute cards and sometimes sat with their arms around each others shoulders.

They're still friends now, both 17, though she identified as a lesbian for a few years now and he's identified as bisexual for at least a year now with no obvious interest in dating yet, though he has been doing a lot of roleplaying games and other gaming lately which is how his father and I met when his father was about that age.

Ds nearly 17. I do hear him gossiping to his friends about girls but there is no girlfriend yet. I heard him tell one of his mates a particular girl didnt have a very good face but was good with the rest of her. Which I found amusing.

DS has always had good girl friends. Had some short term stuff since about 14 and proper GF at 16. Still spends a lot of time with his mates, most of whom don't have girlfriends.

DS 13 had been with his GF for almost a year now.

Never.

Yr 9 so about 13/14. And we knew immediately as he'd get in the shower daily without being asked to have one.

🤣🤣 I'll be ready for this. We always joke about how infrequently DS(12) would shower if we didn't insist remind him to have one! Or brush his hair!

Year 7, aged 12 he started having "a relationship." Was glad when it ended. Too much drama, too young. He looks a lot older than his age so older girls are messaging him and he doesn't know what to say. He's 13 but could pass for 16, easily.

ds(17) has just started seeing a girl in November and I would say this as his first real interest in girls. He spends time with her, just the two of them, outside school, they have been on dates to cinema/out for food etc alone .

Previous "girlfriends" he liked as friends, but it was more just complying with peer pressure and society norms and some snogging than genuine attraction. Practice runs. They all still hung about together in groups, the only time they would spend together alone would be if he walked her home/to the end of her street.
