Teenage son just came in to the room bawling about

You guessed it a girl. Sounds like the relationship is on the rocks. He's a freshman in high school and its basically them texting/video chatting and holding hands at school but to him it's the end of the world. Did the best i could to console him but sounds like it could be the first heartbreak. She gave him the ole maybe we just need some space.
Now he's worried if he gives her space she will find another. Told him there's nothing he could do but give her space and maybe it will work out. It kind of hurts my heart to see him hurt but told him no matter what happens that me and mom would always be here for him. Guess he'll be wondering around the house now like a lost puppy. Any other advice i could give him from the love guru's on the OT? Well thinking about it this might not be the best place.

Get him a pro. Problem solved.

That’s why my kids don’t do “romance” in high school. They can be friends go to dances etc but I’m constantly reminding them getting attached to anyone at that age is energy best spent elsewhere.
It may have worked too well with my 23 year old son. He is practically a hermit when he’s not deployed or on a trip. I have to drag him out to dinner even with me.
Like he says though, “I live cheap!”

See if one of his teachers will give him some action.

Ah good one. He does like to work out. I'll go see if he wants to go work out to take his mind off.

Explain it to him like this.
The first time you get punched in the face, it rocks your world. Your brain gets foggy, you tear up, goddamnit, it HURTS! You've never felt something like this before. You think you might die.
You don't and you won't.
Next time, sure, it hurts, especially if you don't see it coming. But you know the pain will end and can deal with it. You are more prepared.
Eventually, you don't even flinch, spit the blood out and say "that's all you got"?
Heartbreak is a lot like that

Your son has no idea how to tell you he's gay

We've all been there.
A good lift will help him focus that anger into building his confidence back up

Take him out for a nice steak, explain to him that while it seems like the whole world right now it is such a small period of life, maybe give him a story about a heart break you had, and sneak him his first beer. Let him grieve the end of the relationship, but also take him to the gym so he can build body as well as mind and soul.

2 things
Tell him the chances are basically zero that he will date his 9th grade GF all the way through and marry her
Tell him to act like it's no big deal when around her and talk to other girls and she will eventually come running back

lol. He’s definitely not that. When he does date it’s women and it’s usually until they get annoying (one or two dates in). He just sees what any serious relationship is and how it distracts from his work. Right now he is 100% about his team. He’s watched how many marriages his line of work has destroyed.
