Girls have arrived in my son's life!!!

I suppose it had to happen...my 14 year old son is interested in girls. And they are interested in him!!!! I spent so long reassuring him that he was good looking and cute when he was about 9 or 10, and thought no-one whould ever like him, and now he comes in and announces that the ladies think he is SEXY!!! I knew I would never have to worry about Becci as she was able to cope well with her teenage angst ( most of the time, there were worrying years there too), but I never had a brother and don't really know what to expect with a boy!!!! He doesn't want me to tell him anything about sex and relationships ( what do I know anyway?!) and he avoids telling me anything apart from the odd name or two. "I don't need to know anything he is a boy and they keep it to themselves".... apparently! But having read an article in Margriet today, all about young love and SOA's etc, it seems to me that I should worry more than ever before, and that is a worry in itself! So I am going to take the advice offered in the magazine and take him for the odd car-ride where he is a captive audience and tell him ( avoiding eye contact so as not to embarass him apparently...) all I can. And maybe buy 'that book" they recommended from Bol.com!!!!! He won't thank me I'm sure, but maybe it will offer him the advice he is probably looking for, without asking me or his dad, or admitting he wants to know it in the first place!! Boy, am I glad that those teenage years are a long distance - often fond, sometimes hilarious, but mostly great memory. What ever happened to Paul Standon; Gary Steer; Colin Aldred, Simon Butcher, "Peedub", Brian Rumblelow, and all the others.......................................??????
