Step mum to a 17 year old very sweet boy. Since the new year he’s been “in love”. First relationship for them both. She’s same age. All very sweet and lovely but literally all they do he says is sit and cuddle and kiss on benches in town for hours in the freezing cold. He says they literally just want to hold each other and be together. They don’t feel the cold as they cuddle so close. She does have a blistering cold at the moment tho and so does he. Spluttering all through their A level mocks last week. I’d love to suggest things to do as he says he’d be glad of nice ideas. Neither is at all worldly. He’s very quite and doesn’t have a ‘crowd’ as such to do stuff with. Was always quite the loner really. What do kids like these do for ‘dates’? They’d never be confident enough to fake ID and sit in a pub like my own boys did at that age! The older step brothers tell him to invite her over to his room or wangle an invite to hers. He’s adamant that they both want to wait a few months before getting fully intimate though so he’s not biting 🤣. I quite admire him for that to be honest. What would you suggest two 17 year olds do with their ‘dates’ other than just sit and cuddle? I’m too old to remember and clueless what’s on offer these days because mine were all off driving at 17 and very very much more ‘liberated’ than this dear soul.
