My Golly

A few reminders for boys…(I haven’t posted since I said that I’m moving on, I feel like I owe it to myself to just say something):

• If you’re thirteen and you like a girl your age, and the word comes to her about how you feel, and she starts acting really weird, please don’t make a comment that she’s CHILDISH or BOYISH.  What you need to realize is that you are both in an akward age and the girl could very well like you, too.  Saying that will make her feel awful, like she’s the worst female in the world.  Well, how would you like to be called CHILDISH and GIRLISH?  So, just keep them mouths zipped and if you really like her, the way she acts wouldn’t even matter to you.  But if they do, they’re only HORMONES raging.
• If you’re fourteen and you like a girl, as in, you feel like you REALLY like a girl, and you want to hold her hands…DON’T sit close to her and make your hands crawl like Mr. Itsy-Bitsy Spider.  Man, that’s weird!  Sometimes, talking to her would really matter to her MORE than the I-Wanna-Hold-Your-Hand gesture.  Remember that you’re still at an age where nothing is permanent and changes happen in only a few seconds…holding hands may lead to…well…something else.
• If you’re fourteen, and a girl likes you, don’t abuse her feelings and DON’T, please, heed me when I say this, tell her that she’s chubby or that the clip in her hair looks like a mushroom.  You better dang have the sensitivity, because she’s virtually trying to please you.  If you don’t like her, don’t say anything; if you like her, let her know, in one way or another.
• If you’re fifteen, and you are courting a girl, don’t continue to show affections if you have gotten tired of the loooong courtship period and is already in a more prolific relationship.  If you do that, you are a total jerk, because you have really made a fool out of that girl.
• If you’re sixteen/seventeen, and you are in love with a girl (who doesn’t like you) and is infatuated with another (who likes you).  Don’t you dare use the other girl to make the other one jealous or as your fall back…you have no right to do that.  That’s illegal in any law book.

So, what’s my basis for this?  My experiences during the past few years in my life.  There were a few instances when I fell and I got hurt; but the hurt and the falling thing is nothing compared to the process of learning through your mistakes and moving on.  I am not an expert on this area, only a fool would declare total expertise in the arena of loving, but I have gone through certain mishaps in that part and this is only a "word of advice" for the younger peeps who are still in the dark as much as I am.
