How do I woo a girl?

Dear Yemisi,

I am a 14-year-old boy.

Please, I don’t know how to talk to girls. I am getting fed up with this inability of mine.

Isaac, 0*0****7***.

Dear Isaac,

You have a very tall dream to desire to speak up a girl at your age. Do you think this should be your major concern?

Isaac, I am of the opinion that you will not be doing yourself any favour if you decide to have a girlfriend now.

In the first instance you are have not attained the age of maturity that comes with responsibility. You are only a responsibility of your parents as of now and I would not want you to hurt them now by getting involved in having a lover who will end up being a detractor.

You don’t have what it takes to maintain neither can you sustain any affair that will tell so much on your stipend being given by your parents. Falling in love is an expensive enterprise which I am sure you are least prepared for.

If I were you, I will deploy all my energy to my studies to show myself approved. There is no way you will combine having a steady affair with your studies. One will always affect the other either positively or negatively.

Speaking up a girl at 14 is an invitation to confusion that will mar your future. I want you to understand the moral in the saying that ‘there is time and season for every human endeavour’. This is the time for sowing much of your time to your studies.

In fact, when the time comes for you to have a girlfriend, it is something that will naturally come without any resistance or even fear of being rejected by your lover. Take a step at a time. There is more to life than dwelling too much on frivolity.
