Is you son busy this summer with a summer job, internship, house responsibilities?  If not, you need to get him doing something somehow.  If there is a DH, is he involved in any of these conversations or an EXDH because maybe man-to-man might have some more relevance to your son (assuming Dad can put assume his role as Parent and not Friend).  I think frustrated or not, it is good that you have a line of communication  with your son and try to keep talking about the coming opportunity to meet new people etc.  However, also important to note that if he can't make a decision on this GF based upon his own sense of values and interest, he may well find the next girl will be the same.  You need to encourage him to learn to do what he as an adult considers most right in a relationship.  If  you either one of them will have a car at college, ending this relationship might be harder than yo think.  Frustrating as it is, but keep talking and perhaps talk less about GF and more about helping him to find his own voice and move forward in this or any relationship.  "Using" someone for anything is not a very good character trait and maybe talk to him from that angle.  That he should think more of himself than that, and if he is really free, he will be more open to meeting someone he can truly care about in a non-sexual way, too.   [/quote]
