<p>1 relationship that lasted just north of a year in high school–not planning for any more until college. I think it was a good experience just to see what you like and to prepare for more serious relationships in the future.</p>
<p>Never been in a relationship. Nobody around to ask out. And when I see a girl I think is hot (for lack of a better word) she either is A. With a group of girls or B. Near family. </p>
<p>The opportunity never presents itself…</p>
<p>Not in a relationship. I’m not good at flirting, and I look a lot older than I am. Even though I’m 17, all the guys that check me out are like, 25+. And no, I’m not saying that to brag - its kinda awkward when they’re like “So, what are you studying?” and I’m like “…high school…” :/</p>
<p>I did go on one date, and it was a disaster (no exaggeration). It kind of put me off dating for a while. I didn’t know the guy very well, and it was a double date with his brother and brother’s gf. Brother and gf had been dating for a while and were all over each other. It also didn’t help that we were at his house (don’t blame me - I didn’t choose the location). The whole date he just wanted to play video games (which I have never played and by which I am only mildly entertained). Then his family’s car got repossessed. And to end the fairytale-like date, I was getting a ride home with brother’s girlfriend, so I had to wait for brother and gf to stop making out before I could go home.</p>
<p>It probably could have been worse, but it also could have been a whole lot better.</p>
<p>So, yeah, I’m not in a relationship. Maybe college will work out better for me.</p>
<p>I was in a relationship for over 2 years that just ended a few months ago. People are surprised when they hear of a high school relationship that lasts for that long, but honestly, it wasn’t that hard. </p>
<p>We met freshman year when we were both kind of socially awkward and in all of the same clubs, and we essentially grew up together during the relationship. Like I said, it wasn’t that hard. We were (and still are) friends with the same people and were always together anyway. He became my best friend and was so easy to talk to. But as we grew up, we grew apart. I have huge aspirations that include college, moving to a large city, and having a successful career. As far as I could tell, he had none. I devoted some of my time to studying and keeping up with my grades; he didn’t. Around the same time, I became disillusioned with him, too. I didn’t see what I saw before. So, I ended it.</p>
<p>Looking back on it now, I can’t believe how different of a person I was before that relationship and how much I’ve grown. I would not do it again (at least not for a few years). I felt too tied down for the longest time, and part of me is so glad that it’s over. I didn’t like the obligations that I had to only spend time with him, the complaints when I wanted alone time, etc. All in all, I don’t really think that high school relationships are worth it. Some are, yes. But most are just experience.</p>
<p>I’m in a relatively new relationship with a guy who I’ve been good friends with for a few years. It works out well because we both spend an obscene amount of time studying in the calculus classroom so we can study together! We’re both seniors though so hopefully we can stay together through college.</p>
<p>I just rejected a girl who asked me out today. She’s a freshman, black, a little chubby, VERY young (only turned 14 recently) and not the prettiest girl in the world (although not ugly either)</p>

<p>I am. I’ve been with this girl for 3 years since freshman year. She hopes we will go to the same college, but it most likely won’t happen. I don’t want the hardships of a long distance relationship, so I don’t want to continue it if we’re not at the same college.</p>
<p>Nope. Been sprung on this one freshman girl for months now. Everyone’s very much against me being with her for reasons varying from “she’s the dumbest person I’ve ever met” to “she’s socially awkward and you’re more attractive than her” to “she’s not a nice person and treats you terribly.”</p>
<p>So yeah everyone makes it difficult but yeah…working on it</p>
<p>Aww, you guys are so lucky with your successful relationships.
Unfortunately, I’ve never had any such luck. I’m wayyyyyy too ugly. Every time I talk to a girl, she goes as cold as a stone on me within 2 minutes. I have to admit that I get at least a little jealous whenever I see a couple hugging or kissing in the hallways of my high school(never hugged or kissed a girl myself). This is just one of the few things that suck about being an Indian born in the USA.
I want to give up on trying, but I fear being alone forever(even though that is a probable fate for me 
). </p>
<p>This thread just makes me sad.</p>
<p>Haha, no relationships for me. I’m WAYYYYYY too awkward. In fact, the conversation in college algebra the other day was about how awkward I am. I didn’t contribute verbally, but a lot of people were “testing” my quirks just to get a laugh. I wanted to punch them right in their smiling faces.</p>
<p>@Kitten23, that sounds dreadful. A class talking about how awkward you are??? I would turn red, smile unconvincingly, and then go on to hate them forever. </p>
<p>I feel bad for people who are seen as quiet. Once you are quiet, you pretty much have to stay quiet for the rest of HS. You can’t really break out of your mold without drawing unwanted attention.</p>
<p>@holocaust, I actually did get really, really red (which they also made fun of). And I hated them long before that…</p>
<p>Hating started the Holocaust. Hating is bad. Kittens are good though. </p>
<p>@Holocaust I will never understand your choice of a username lol. Cute kitty though.</p>
<p>Edit: That comment about the inability to break out of your mold or w/e actually is super true though orz.</p>
<p>I go to an all girls school and guys just don’t talk to me. Never been in a relationship. At least Singles Awareness Day (SAD) is coming up on Feb 14th. Much love. So excite. </p>
<p>Don’t you just hate when pretty much every girl that you see is laughing at you?
Aw crap, and prom is coming up. The last time a girl said yes to me was my grandma when I asked her if i could play in the park when I was 5. Oh well, it sucks to suck, but it sucks even more to be really ugly.</p>
<p>Hehe I have a lot of guy friends. But they’re all very academic and I only know them really well because we study together ALL the time. But there are many times I would like to be in a relationship, but realize that there is no one at my school that meets my standards or really has enough maturity to handle the type of relationship I would want. Plus, I’m so busy with AP classes and music… haha but finding the right person would be the beginning. Someone that understands me and I find is easy to be around. </p>
<p>Not currently, no. I do have a few really good guy friends, and I’m planning on asking one of them to our school’s Turnabout/Sadie Hawkins dance. (I actually do “like like” him, so hopefully it all works out… we’ll see)</p>
<p>Hahahahaha no. For some reason guys in my school really don’t like girls who focus a lot on academics. I like to tell myself that it’s because they’re intimidated and it’s not because my features are, well, plain…
I actually have a lot of respect for people who can get straight A’s and have a boyfriend/girlfriend. Dating seems like such an effort, and balancing both…I applaud you. I’m barely keeping my social life alive right now </p>
