[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is like most of the boys we know at that age, OP.  My sons go to a single-sex HS though. No sisters either. Senior and sophomore.

They get set up on dates for the dances, but no girlfriends.  Don’t seem to care.

They both play a time-consuming sport and have tough schedules/work loads. Frankly, I’m glad not have the drama.[/quote]

I'm one of the previous posters and my son is at a single sex high school as well.  Between sports and a heavy school schedule he barely has time to breathe.  He does go to school dances with girls.  But no dating or apparent interest in dating.

I would think it's odd but my friend's son had the same experience at another all-boys school.  he didn't date (at all) in high school.  Went to college and now (3 years later) has had 2 girlfriends and a ton of dates.

The single-sex thing definitely impacts dating.  Even if your son happens to have exposure to girls outside of school, it's not the same thing as being side-by-side with girls at lunch, in class, etc.  [/quote]
