Wonder what posters here think of this and if things are equal in dc or no?

I would be curious if the author, in addition to her anecdotes, talked to 24, 34 and 44, and 64 year olds.

Moms and Dads: Please teach your sons to flirt! (in a non creepy way of course). I've just been realizing talking to teen dds and their friends. Boys will approach girls these days, but sort of out of nowhere. Like, the girls never thought of them in that way and suddenly he'll ask her out. And it's not that she dislikes the boy, but she just never thought of him like that before. There doesn't seem to be as much innocent flirtation going on. Which is what gets a girl to have a crush on you, which is usually what she needs in order to say yes to her.

I say this because I feel like a lot of these boys put themselves out there to ask a girl out, get turned down, and give up. Not realizing that the whole thing is a dance, they have to plant some seeds first![/quote]

No sane parent will “teach” their sons to “flirt”. What you liked/did a million years ago is not what is happening today. Also “not is a creepy” is largely dependent on how attractive the girl thinks the guy is. [/quote]
