I don’t know the answers to these questions and I never will. All I know is that I have my own two sons and I will do everything possible to teach them to be the kind of boys who would accept a gift with a polite Thank You, even from a girl in whom they’re not interested. I will teach them to be the kind of gentlemen who turn away unrequited love honestly yet gently; I will teach them to be the kind of guys who treat others, female or otherwise, with respect. I just wish more parents took the time to do the same.
