My parents never knew even though we were close and at my high school graduation I overheard my mom say to someone that I wasn’t interested in boys yet.

Actually I agree with this. Middle school girls are just more into relationships and pairing off than the boys are, yet. They definitely pursue the boys more than boys pursue the girls. It doesn’t mean they are promiscuous- they are just in a different development phase

I actually don't know 😅 but I think that when the right girl comes along, he will forget the past and see her as a jewel of great price.
How is your son only 14 and already in 10th grade?
