Lady, you're talking to someone who has attended Anthrocon. :) I know whereof you speak.
Piet, my husband, was the first of his friends to hook up with a real live girl. I think the guys handled the shock fairly well, actually. As a result of his example, all the others have now married and three of the four have children. I take minimal credit for socializing some of them. :)
Chair, whip and chainsaw. Kinky. ;)
I find my students mostly have trouble putting themselves into roles that are so different from their everyday lives. I try to get them to think in role, and what I get is what THEY would do. They don't know how to take on another character's motivations yet. Grade fives are still children, after all. There were a few, though, that I totally want to game with in a few years, if I can look them up at that point. I had a lot of smart kids in my class this past year, and I want to introduce a few of them to roleplaying. Unfortunately, they've now graduated and gone to middle school, so I won't see most of them again.
