My son is 22 and is a senior accounting major at a large university in Tennessee. He is incredibly smart, confident, and is deeply spiritual and a dedicated Christ follower. He is tall, well-built, fun, witty, genuine, unpretentious, handsome - he has all of the traits that a Christian young lady would be looking for in a husband.
However, he has never really dated much, nor ever had a girlfriend per se. He's not into partying and having sex. He wants to wait until marriage for sex. I understand all of that. But I am afraid that he's too choosy and time will get by, with the vast majority of eligible young women gone. Is that a realistic concern?
He has been texting a Christian young lady for over a month, while they were both at home during the break, and I was hoping that something was developing there, but apparently there's not much communication now between the two. I have tried to give him advice (unsolicited because he's private) such as "You know, if you like this girl you are going to have to be a bit more proactive about actually getting together, something beyond texting." And "find things that she's interested in talking about...not just stuff you're interested in talking about like football and sports."
Every parent wants their child to find a suitable mate. Am I way over-reacting on this? He's sure let some sweet girls get away in my opinion, due to his passiveness.
Also, he's not really that concerned about it at all. He is fully focused on his grades and pursuing his masters degree. He certainly wants to have a family and all of that, but he's not out looking for it per se. Any advice from parents out there? Thank you so much!
