He's only 16 for crying out loud!! Be happy he wants to go on dates as many guys his age don't want to. So what if he only wants to ask out the girls he thinks are cute for now? Are you sad because maybe you weren't/aren't cute and you have the same problem where guys dIdn't/don't ask you out?? Some guys like smart girls, some guys don't. Some guys like mature girls, some guys don't. Some guys like physically attractive guys, some guys don't. It is what it is. Guys' tastes in girls may also change with time. I'm sure this young man will experience some changes in his taste in women as he matures. Let him date the cute popular girls if he wants. If he enjoys being around them then good for him! If he doesn't like being around them then the experience he gains will help him branch out to dating different girls! He said he no longer hangs around the sport jocks because of the bad things he's seen, so he sounds like he has his head on properly and he'll make good choices. <br /><br />Way to be an example my friend!

Correct me if I'm wr...Whoa, Bro Jo's right. Correct me if I'm wrong, but were you implying that the girls in your classes are unsuitable dates because they're on the academic side?! A big thing I've learned towards the end of high school is that, a LOT of the people you meet in school (friendshipwise and datewise) are completely different outside of class. Since I don't really fit into this category, it took me a long time to understand, but most of the kids who seem super awkward/shy/antisocial/weird in a class of 30 people are actually completely awesome and confident when in small casual groups.<br /><br />I DARE you to take one of these girls out on a date. Don't even pay attention to the cover of the book, just go read the first page. Ya know what I'm sayin'?<br /><br />In regards to your wingman issue, another idea is to see if you can find some more buddies in the stake, especially if the stake boundaries aren't huge. And regardless of what you do about the girls at school, once you've got your wingmen, you're golden. Don't worry about "what if they don't want to", just ask those stake girls. <br /><br />Best of luck! It is so great that you are all excited about group dating (hehe, Bro Jo gets quite a few e-mails about the opposite, I think I was once one of them). Good luck, and have FUN!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
