[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do boys start texting girls and asking them out in college? what changes with them?[/quote]

They start to look like men.  [/quote]
This definitely changes.  I didn't date in HS at all.  Lots of guys were twerpy.  I was asked out on my second day at college and dated pretty consistently after that, with a couple of relationships before meeting my husband.[/quote]

Which is why most HS girls date Jrs/Srs or college guys. [/quote]

From what I am hearing, think this is the case for most high school kids these days. [b]It’s harder for them to connect organically because of social media.[/b] Especially because Covid stunted these teens social growth during critical middle school years end. They would have been figuring out initial flirting. Kids today missed that window and now many of them prefer staying home on their electronics. It’s what they know and feel comfortable with.

Seems like that would make it easier. I've met tons of people as friends, not dating, via social media apps that I would have never met "organically", to hook up for events and common interests, work, etc. [/quote]

Nah, they spend all their time “snapping”each other on Snapchat usually showing just a piece of hair (no face) to get their “snap Score” up.  That’s their social currency but it rarely ends in face to face meetings. They don’t hook up through that. That usually happens in small friend groups. Very few date one person like we did. [/quote]
