Indecisiveness

My daughter is going through a very indecisive stage right now. The good news is that she is willing to try new things and less set in her ways. The bad news is that I never know which way she will go when choosing her paths in life. Lately, her indecisiveness has been about boys--first she likes one then she doesn't. Then another boy, then not. She has been stuck on one crush lately, but she still goes back and forth about it. Mostly, it seems that his reaction to her is determining her decision. If he responds positively, she likes him. If not, she hates him. I guess it is a defense mechanism--you know, if he doesn't like me, then I don't like him either. That is her way of "saving face." I remember being kind of "fickle" when I was her age, too. I heard a good quote one time that explains it all: "It's a woman's prerogative to change her mind." I guess that is very true about my daughter right now--freedom of choice is a wonderful thing, but sometimes you just have to make a decision and stick with it a bit! :)
