No Need for a Love Coach
Last night my youngest son ‘Casanova Max’ (12 yo) was asked to the movies (pitch perfect 2) by his new girlfriend of 3 days. He was double dating some ‘denim short wearing’ young ladies ( it was 3 degrees!!!) with his mate from school, plus one extra boy tagged along.
After I dropped the kids home we had a family de-brief at the dinner table. Tanya asked Max “Did you kiss your new girlfriend?…He said “My mate kept trying to get me to kiss her, but I didn’t”.
I thought to myself – is his friend acting as his love coach?
I then drew on some of the stuff I learnt off the TV show Happy Days back in the 80’s and asked Max “Did you try the ‘yawn technique’ to set up for a kiss?
He rolled his eyes and said “Whatever Dad, why do I need to do that move when I can go straight in?…..Boom!”
It sounds like the youth of today run from a different ‘playbook’…lol
Apparently I am up to my neck in ‘Dorky Dad’ territory:-)
