I'm not Dear Abby, but I've been around and I have a good-looking son. Here's my advice, for what it's worth:
-Don't push it. Don't call too much, don't demand answers, don't back him into a corner.
-Try to be light-hearted. If you're always somber and weepy, he will avoid you.
-I was raised by a feminist and don't believe in pretending to like sports or cars or whatever just to get his attention. Try to think of something you'll both enjoy, like a concert or all-you-can-eat crablegs at a local restaurant, and invite him out. Make it fun.
-I was going to suggest making him dinner, but my son said no. It's too early to be that intimate. Go out with a group of friends.
-If he calls, don't come scrambling like a puppy. Be a little unavailable.
Good luck to you-
Gracie
