@gambrel saidAt least you got the message. Boys that age are really slow getting the message.
In HS I was at a girl's house, she was supposed to be tutoring me, I was failing biology. In the middle of study she started running her hands through my hair.
I wasn't expecting that.
I ended up with a B in biology and a GF for a few months.

@suzianne saidTeenage girls mature sooner than boys, both physically and mentally. In a way, I can see the point of separating them into different schools at that age, but I still think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages of coed schooling.

@suzianne saidI was 14 at the time, almost 15. She was almost 18. I didn't know it but she was engaged to a guy in the army stationed in Germany at the time. Her forwardness freaked me out, I jumped up when she started running her hands through my hair, I apologized and she slowed down a bit. We dated until her fiancee returned to the states, about 2 months later. Then she invited me to the wedding, which I declined going to. I was heartbroken and realized I was just her boytoy. Odd thing, her name was Nancy, I had 3 GFs in a row with that name. At the time she was 5'-2" and 90 lbs. I saw her years later, she was about 300 lbs, divorced twice. I didn't even recognize her. Now she's a crazy cat lady.

I’ll bet you passed social skills with flying colors, too. ๐
No I've always been nerdy. The group I hung out with were martial artists. One kid was a brown belt in judo, Three studied Shotokan, 2 TKD, One was a kid from china a Lungchuan master. We worked out together often, trading techniques. Several of them went forward to black belt. In fact one is currently 8th Dan in Japanese Kempo, one is a master of Iado

The other night while estimating next year's taxes, I got into a panic when I noticed that I had not reported my Social Security benefits on any of my post-retirement tax returns.
With a sinking feeling I thought that I would have to file a few corrected returns and pay back-taxes plus penalties.
But eventually I remembered that this is the first year I received those benefits, so there was nothing to report for prior years.
