teenage son is girl crazy

NAS87204

Hello, I'm brand new to this web site forum and am still trying to figure it out.  I am the proud parent of a happy 16 year old teenage boy who is absolutely girl crazy. I have had several incidents where he is bothering girls and despite many conversations he doesn't understand that he needs to back way off. He has driven away girls who were previously his friends because he's asking them all out on dates.  We talk about this on a daily basis.  He is very open and honest.  I just don't know what to do. I don't want him to be ostracized.  Any insight is greatly appreciated.  Wishing happiness and peace to everyone here. Thank you for reading!

  • the Is problem you’re asking him to go against his innate instincts. Instinct so hardwired into the human brain that we’ve had them forever and if we didn’t have them we’d probably go extinct.

    you saying back off back off May stop him losing friends but it isn’t going to get him a girlfriend and he knows this. Because he was probably interested in girls long before he started approaching them so boldly and playing it cool back then never got him a girlfriend.

    this is one of those cases where you cannot stop the behaviour you have to try and modify it. You cannot expect him to stop trying to get a girlfriend. So I suggest instead you put your mind to figuring out how he can get a girlfriend in a way that doesn’t alienate a lot of people.

    here let me ask you a different question. Why do you think they all said no? I mean evidently your son is amiable enough and likable enough to have a circle of friends. Why do you think out of all of those friends no Girl wants to date him?
