Good to see they’re talking straight to the tech students about real differences between love and being in love. That master class sounds practical. Wonder if they’ll do something like it here in Boston for our young people.

Here in Kragujevac, last year at the Technical School, they held a similar conversation about love and falling in love, just with electrical technicians. The boys mostly asked how to distinguish when it's real and when it's just butterflies. It's good that they went directly to the technical school, and not just to the parish.

At Banj Luci, we had a similar encounter at the mid-week youth gathering, but the girls asked more about marriage and how to recognize if a guy is serious. It was nice of you to do that with the electrical engineers; they usually don't come to the parish. Did the boys ask anything private after that?

In Minsk, at the culinary college, a couple of years ago we also had a similar conversation about love and falling in love, only it was conducted not by the diocese, but by our priest and mother. The guys were mostly silent, and the girls asked how to understand that these were not just “butterflies”, but the real thing. It’s good that we went straight to the technical school, and didn’t wait until they came to the church. Did the guys ask anything else after the master class?

Here in Varna, last year in the vocational high school for construction, they had a similar conversation exactly with "love and infatuation". The guys asked the most how to find out if the girl really respects them or just likes the attention. It's good that they went directly to the technical school and not just to the church.

Here in Moscow, driving work also sometimes intersects with young people - a couple of times I drove groups from technical schools to practice. It’s interesting that your priest and mother were in charge, and not the diocesan department. After your conversation, did the guys ask anything specific or did they remain quiet?
