None of our 5 grandchildren (all Gen Z) is on track to fall in love and get married. They have no idea how to behave with the opposite sex because they have never been on a date. The eldest went to her senior prom with her 3 best girlfriends. The second eldest didn’t go to his prom at all and doesn’t even count any girls in his friendship circle. I feel so sorry for all of them.

Exactly! They have very high expectations from the boys, the boys have no idea how to meet the ridiculous ideas they have ( flowers for no good reason, blind adoration, major productions for a prom invitation , and other silly things my 14 year old comes up with). It’s sad for them and unfair to the boys.
That's true! When my granddaughter was still in gymnastics her team also had older high school girls. They introduced her to online porn which she then showed me one evening on her iPad. Being gramma, I did not tell her mother, but had a talk with her about watching that stuff. I can't tell you how shocking it was. In my life, I had never seen porn ever until that night.
I also see this with my nephews. I have never seen any indication that any of them have had any significant romantic relationships and they are all in or graduated from college. Most of them (except for the oldest) are good kids/almost men who should be attractive to women. Its just sad.
When I ask them about dating or interest in someone of the opposite sex, they act like 3rd graders and say things like "boys (or girls) are yucky, are you kidding, Gramma?"

Many boys also are porn addicted beginning age 12 and they think girls and women are like what they see in today’s violent degrading porn.
Girls are watching that crap too.

Didn’t say that’s not a problem. They’ve been groomed to think being strangulated is part of sex.
I would love to talk. Are you up for a conversation?
