@dyiu13 I will say that most of my friends and I haven’t even dated and while we might/probably will date in college, that doesn’t mean we don’t have standards and principles that will be swayed by an app. And from what you have posted about your D, she seems to be confident enough not to be easily swayed either. @sseamom I can’t help but feel jelaous of your D as she was asked out multiple times in 1 day and I have never been asked out.
Your time will come @readingclaygirl
Don’t feel bad @readingclaygirl . I was never the type to gets guys’ attention. D is a whole different type of person. She is very social I think that more than anything, that draws people of all types to her. I did much better in college, where it was easier to meet people with similar interests and in one-on-one settings. You’ll meet plenty of like-minded people eventually!
@livinginLA sorry your D’s are not being attentive. My older D live 10 minutes from my house and I hardly ever hear from her. She works night and sleep days and the best I can hope for in the occasional text or a quick visit on her days off. Hopefully her schedule will ease up soon, as your Ds’ will.
@livinginLA, hugs!
@readingclaygirl, you want the right kind of attention.
I know @mommdc I know that someday the right guy will come along.
Thoughts and prayers going out to our Texas families. Please check in and let us know that you are OK.
I made the mistake of checking the calendar…only 6 weeks left until move in.
@dyiu13 - in the “do as I say not as I do category” - I kind of hope my boys will have at least a couple of gf before getting married. I love my DH, but we did start dating at 17, first/only relationship for me and second for him after brief HS fling, and I think there’s some benefit to a bit more experience. I am not in favor of treating sexual partners casually or poorly, of course!! And I don’t exactly understand what “tinder” is.
I do have some friends who say that they dated way “too much” before settling down and they hope their kids have less experience before marriage.
At any rate - DS1 and DS2 have both already had gf. I really liked DS2’s gf but they broke up when they went to different 8th grades so probably that wasn’t meant to be. (Her mom and I are friends and were practically planning the wedding 
)
Anybody have any experience with missing AP scores? All of my daughter’s scores came in except for Spanish. It is still “in process” (code 96).
DS’s current GF is a wonderful young lady and we are all attached to her so at this point they will either marry or he will have a broken heart. Only time will tell which will be better for him. I have tried to let him know I like her but all decisions about the relationship are between them. Not sure if her parents have tried to be as uninvolved.
@helpfulandtrying How annoying! I got my score: 4 on the AP Lang Exam!
Congratulations @readingclaygirl !
@livinginLA - lately D has been a sweetheart, but this old nursery rhyme runs through my head a lot, “when she was good she was very, very good, and when she bad she was horrid.” Hugs to you – been there, done that, have the t-shirt.
D has admitted to trying Tinder, but disliked it A LOT. She thinks she might try Bumble, a ladies-in-charge version of Tinder when she gets to Boston. She also jokes about using an app called Tindog, it helps you meet-up with dog owners because frankly, she has always preferred dogs to people. 
I did not date at all in high school, dated a ton my freshman year of college, and met my husband the fall of my sophomore year. I kept breaking-up with him because I thought marrying your college sweetheart was trite. Haha, 21 years of marriage later, I guess I’ll have to live with being trite.
That article was disgusting and disturbing. It makes me sad to think so many young people perceive their choices as so limited. My S would like to find a nice girl for a relationship and companionship- not a careless hookup. I’m still in favor of meeting people the old fashioned way- in real life, through a club, group, activity, friends, etc.
Congrats @readingclaygirl! I was hoping to see a happy post from you today.
@fretfulmother I am quietly conflicted over the prospect of our sweet girl dating. While we have never expressed any feelings against it, we have prayerfully watched as she has chosen her academics, passion for performing arts and public service over expending emotional energy on developing a high school in relationship.
There were a few “likes” but she/we believe that her being a confident, outgoing, 6 foot young lady often times caused her “likes” to become really good friends as opposed to BF’s. She has said on many occasions that she has no complaints with that at all LOL! She’s said that she has four years of undergrad and 2-3 years of grad/law school to squeeze each and every ounce of potential out of her education and she’s gonna do just that. I didn’t date until after college and it worked out very well for me
@readingclaygirl - Congrats on your score, and your patience to not use a proxy! Nice job!!
thank you @madredos
Congrats @readingclaygirl ! S waited for his scores, too. Lol.
