I didn't say anything about telling him not to take initiative.

All I'm just saying is you'd do better not to mention the girls who might be setting their caps for him. He can figure out about them on his own, and he will do. In fact, I expect he already has done.

But you'd do better not to mention them because mentioning them hands him an excuse that boys use way too often for thinking some girls aren't worth worrying what you do to them.
