Buddy, let me tell you something: I'm 38, so listen to me a little. Don't get carried away with girls. They're a dime a dozen. We all get carried away sometimes, but keep your perspective on things. And never chase them. Never!!! If they like you, they like you. They'll let you know, believe me.
Take care of yourself. Get your education and better yourself every chance you get.
I've met some girls that have taken their previous husbands to the cleaners. Those guys wished they never met them. If you haven't met a girl, God might be looking out for you. A few of my friends have been financially destroyed by them. Men get raped in court, especially with kids involved. Trust me on this.
Dishonest girls will hate me for this. But a father, a mother, or a good friend would tell you, be very careful!!
