29, I'd rather like to be around 20 (well, I feel like 20, so it doesn't really matter :D)... Don't care for going through adolescence again. ;)

i'm proud of you gruffalo.  i bet ur mother is too.  i was joking with my son about that very thing on his birthday.  we took him out to his favorite restaurant - they sang happy birthday - and then right after that another full table of teenage girls got the happy birthday song, too.  i said, 'i knew i could find you a girlfriend here.'  he said, 'that's the worst possible thing you could say to me right now.'  (so i didn't introduce them or anything).  you'll know it when she's the right one (i think).  at least that's what i'm hoping for my son.

Wow your son doesn't know how lucky he is :)... but wait, it was his favorite restaurant? Why would he consider Hooters (extrapolating here) his favorite restaurant if he didn't want to get hooked up with a girl ;)? The food  ::)? (J/k, I know it wasn't Hooters).

Did the restaurant pay royalties for singing happy birthday in public? Or did they violate ASCAP's copyright?

hooters?  i was actually hoping to find him a girlfriend at church - but he doesn't want to go to church.  thankfully, he's not really into girls much.  he's a pretty responsible kid if i don't say so myself.  occasioanlly a risque tv movie - but i usually say - that's not a way to treat a girl.  he usually agrees and so i've subliminally manipulated him enough to hopefully treat a girl well.  no cheap dates or thrills either.  to specifically leave the house hoping to lay a girl is really stupid, imo.

#1 std or pregnancy
#2 possiblity the girl claims rape
#3 just stupid

why not drink from your own cistern (clean water) - and not some muddy stream as the bible says.

although this is good that he is not crazy about sex, I think you should be a little concerned if he is not interested in girls. im not saying this is because he may be gay, but he should be keen on getting out there and going out with them and stuff.

he's waiting until he has a driver's license and a girl won't have to go out with him on foot.

find a girl that can drive?  well, i thought of that --but didn't suggest it.  sort of like his idea of  a career.  find a girl that's a law student and let her make the money.  he actually joked about this - but i know he'll be a working person someday.  i don't know why i worry (excepting the sleeping in).

I was merely jesting.
I was somewhat of like your son around his age, but even the more reserved young men this age unconsciously or at least secretly make themselves look good (slick/fix the hair, etc.) in front of the ladies. He'll realize it soon enough, if he hasn't already. He goes to group parties/movies with girls though no doubt?
