    Okay, ladies, I need some advice!!

    Our 14 year old just came to me saying that he was in LOVE!!  Ahhhhh!!!!  With a girl who lives in Ohio (we live in MD), who he’s never even met but only text messages (she is a cousin of one of his friends and they somehow got each other’s phone numbers), who I don’t really think they know anything about each other!!  I’m pretty sure that he told her that he loved her.

    Now, I’m only 25, so I’m close to his age, and I remember being young and thinking that I was in love.  But, also, since I have found my husband and discovered the type of love that God desires for us, I’m really concious of how I use the word love (and, I always have been.  I think I’ve only ever said it to one other man besides my husband). 

    I don’t know what to do or say.  I’m just kind of freaking out and maybe just need some calming down?!? Smile  He has a friend over right now, so tomorrow his Dad will go talk to him, but I”m just not ready for all of this!!

    Well, I love coffee, and Mexican food, and pizza. So I love to use the word love in all different ways. Laughing

    Of course, I totally understand your point. And I think that a discussion with him is in order. I think it may be best for Dad to approach it, though. However, a woman’t perspective is probably helpful for him. In other words, when a guy says, “I love you,” what does that mean to the girl.

    Well, when are we ever ready?!?! How many times a day do we moms say, “Not yet!!!” You and your husband have probably already decided the direction you will want to go with your children, i.e., dating versus courtship. If you think it’s too soon, now may be a good time to let him know that, as the ‘man,’ he needs to be on the watchtower. He is responsible to guard both his heart and the hearts of any girl around him so that they (and he) are able to discover God’s plan for their lives. We tell our boys that when they walk into a room, they are responsible to keep every girl’s heart pure by treating them as sisters (1 Timothy 5) and not giving any indication of interest or treating any one more special than the other. God will confirm a relationship through his parents, and I imagine you are pretty confident that would not happen at age 14.Smile How wonderful that you have the lines of communication open and your husband is willing and able to discuss heart issues with your son. What a blessing you both must be to your child.

    Blessings,

    Cindy
