<p>A support group may be in order. Anything to keep me from spouting my opinions in the general direction of #1 son! If that 6 month rule is true…June and in time for summer break?!</p>
<p>Hey, I vaguely remember being young and in love and separated by 2,000 miles (almost 30 years, a few pounds and a lot of wrinkles ago). Ultimately he didn’t make the cut, though, thank goodness. I must also try to remember that good sense will probably surface eventually with my love blind son, too.</p>
<p>I was lucky. My high school bf broke up with me. He was going off to college and I was still just a junior – the proverbial albatross. Biggest favor anyone ever did for me! He showed up a year later BEGGING me to go out with him (what a loser!!!) and even at the age of 18 I realized that I had dodged a MAJOR bullet.</p>
<p>Maybe that’s the story we need to tell our boys, although nothing I tell mine will have any effect…</p>
<p>my girlfriend and I are still together (and will probably be for a very long time). We started dating not long after I graduated high school, she’s one year younger so was still in high school. Now, i’m a junior in college and she is a freshmen (I am one year ahead of my graduating class) and we’re both at the same school. So far, so good!</p>
<p>Yeah, seeing as I’m still in high school, I don’t have a story to tell. But my best friend and I both have the same top two choices for college, and we plan to date if we go to the same school or anywhere relatively near each other, since it’s only parental issues that keep us from dating right now. Not exactly the same, and I’m not sure how that will work out, but considering the stories I have read in the last two pages, I’m…cautiously hopeful, I guess.</p>
<p>My good friend’s older sister had a boyfriend in her sophomore year of high school, they dated right through college (he was at stanford, she was at yale) and they graduated two years ago and they are getting married this summer.</p>
<p>Because I have a stalker boyfriend on CC who is obsessed with grammar, I would like to say I made a mistake. Meant to type “soon to be brother-in-law” instead of plain “brother”.</p>
<p>Edit: </p>

<p>Yeah…he showed me this after I just put up my earlier half of the post. :o <em>embarrassed</em> Sorry, jym626 for my mistyping. I only have two older sisters. No brothers. (I wonder if that’s why I never seem to have any truly close male friends without havin’ a crush on them one time or another…)</p>
<p>I meant to say brother-in-law. But my grandparents are first cousins. And my aunt and uncles who are third cousins who married each other and have three kids…comes from that side of the family, too. <em>sigh</em> I’m never goin’ to marry a cousin of mine. No way.</p>
