I'm a mother to young men in their 30s. The oldest one will be 34 in May, the other 2 are 31 and 29, respectively. My oldest has a long term girlfriend, they own a home together. The other 2 have had girlfriends off and on but currently have no real intentions toward dating.

I get what you're saying. We're in flux and it's hard for a guy to know what to do.

But it doesn't take much brain power to know that blocking a woman with your shopping cart to try to chat her up with cheesy lines is probably not the best idea (that actually happened and it prompted the story).
