Wow, my youngest reader and, I hope, my daughter when she gets to your age. I am going to write in capital letters right now, which will signal me yelling: ALL HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE GUYS WANT IS SEX!!! All right I am done, I feel better.

Good for you, stubborn young lady. Now I am speaking as a parent of a girl, and not as a former frustrated high school boy who really wanted a “relationship” and to “cement our relationship with a show of love” or used to say “lets just see how it feels for a few minutes." I could go on forever, in fact I may write something separate for hig school girls wondering what the guys they know are really thinking and the real meaning behind what they say.

Listen, you are young and have plenty of time. Very rarely will you find the “one true love” in high school, and if you do, don’t change your morals. If he is the guy, he will wait. I am no prude, but do encourage you to enjoy the positives of being a teenager and don’t feel the pressure to grow up too fast. That will come soon enough, and before you know it you will be married with children and realize all your husband really wants is sex. See, it comes full circle.

Hope it helps,

Tony
