Son, please don't break girls hearts - Part Three

I've been ruminating long and hard about my last thoughts on this subject of teen dating, love and heartbreak.

What it all boils down to for me is the great desire to give a young man and a young woman the opportunity to grow up 'unfooled around with'.

Let them both mature into the man and woman that they are meant to be without trying to meet someone else's emotional needs along the way.

Let them find out what makes them tick on the inside before worrying about how to tick in unison with someone else.

Let them graduate high school without being swallowed up by feelings of jealousy or insecurity caused by broken romantic promises.

Please, let them both arrive at adulthood with their virginity intact.

I know it is a lot to hope for, but I do indeed hope for it for my son and the young woman he will someday marry.

Kelly - I totally understand where you are coming from. Coaching a team of softball girls in high school I see many of them wanting to be "attached" all the time. Hey - do your own thing for a while. Learn about who you are and what you want before involving someone else. It seems like some of them don't even know who they are or what they want because they are always part of a couple. That's a big part of their identity in high school. Then when that ends, they're lost.
