[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is also at a big university and surprised by the lack of dating or hooking up. The ratio is close to 51/49 or 52/48, so it’s not problematic. Every guy she meets is either already in a relationship from before college or it’s not to paying any attention to girls. She’s smart, funny and quite attractive, so I’m a little surprised. I keep telling her enjoy time with her female friends and guys will eventually come around. I hope I’m right. [/quote]

I'm a mom of boys. I think one factor here is the sharp rise in the number of boys who are neurodiverse. I feel like I will get flack for saying this, but the boys I know best who fit this description are on a slower track and started dating in their twenties, rather than teens. I think they will be good partners eventually but it's going to take some time. The typically developing boys do seem to date. But there just aren't as many.

Perhaps.

My attractive, fun, smart daughter attended a CTCL and had no dates in college.

She met a geeky boy in grad school , and it was his first relationship also.

That timing is fine with me (though I am it thrilled with the prospect of them marrying their first serious partner. I think it can be valuable to have some frame of reference.)[/quote]
