[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 79505, member: 1991"] NNT, you said, "...he tried to kiss her goodnight and brushed his hand across her chest..." THat was a mature response from her. The trouble is, a lot of boys feel caught in a Catch 22 situation - if they don't try something, will the girls think there's something wrong with them? And if they Do try it on, they get their faces slapped (but isn't that part of how the game is played? The girl has to put up a token show of refusal before she feels she's made enough of a statement about her moral standards, and can finally allow the boy to get down to business. That IS how a lot of boys think, unfortunately. "I'd better make a pass at her, or she will think I don't find her attractive enough to lose control..." Tragic. Utterly tragic. I remember when a male friend of mine did the same thing to me and I just froze on him. We were passengers in a crowded car, it could easily have been an unfortunate accident. Part of me was pleased that a boy finally saw me as a sex object and not just another 'mate' (in the Aussie sense); part of me was appalled that my friend (my 'mate') would try this. He finally worked out what he must have done and apologised; he never tried it again. It is so difficult to be a teenager... Marg [/QUOTE]
