<p>Imagine if CC became a dating website for geniuses.</p>
<p>I have a boyfriend for the last two weeks, and it is my third relationship. Each of the other two lasted for one and a half years. We will see how long this will last…</p>
<p>If you don’t think you’d mind to not have one, it’s better not to. I screwed myself because of so much crap with my first high school girlfriend. Went from a 3.67 to a 2.46. However, I am in a really good relationship with a Freshman in college and back up to a 3.1. But they really do take a lot of time and effort, so just gotta be mindful and keep priorities straight.</p>
<p>I’m not really sure how I ended up back in HSL (been a few years since I ventured this far down on the forum lol), but I thought I’d contribute as someone removed, but not incredibly far removed, from hs 
</p>
<p>I had the same bf throughout all of hs (freshman year until sophomore year of college). Looking back, even though the relationship ultimately ended (mutually and on good terms), I have zero regrets. He helped keep me grounded and from getting too overly-involved in my coursework. My most fond memories from high school are with him (and our friends). </p>
<p>After we broke up, I started dating my now-fiance. He too kept me from getting too overly-involved in work and helped keep my stress down. Considering I graduated with a very nice GPA in undergrad, got into every grad program I applied to, and now am in a top-ranked MPH program, I don’t think relationships held me back too much ;)</p>
<p>The founder of this topic, with her name being liveleadlove, appears to be quite inclined to romance 
Well I’m not against high school love or anything. No one can deny the power of love. But all I see in couples around me is … well, infatuation. Girls want to look pretty and boys want to be “a knight in shining armor” or, in other words, act cool. As a matter of fact, I pretty much look like this guy: [Rated</a> “I” for internet only… ? "A knight in shining armor is a man who has never…](<a href=“http://alienmelon.■■■■■■■■■■/post/42524695242/a-knight-in-shining-armor-is-a-man-who-has-never]Rated”>http://alienmelon.■■■■■■■■■■/post/42524695242/a-knight-in-shining-armor-is-a-man-who-has-never)</p>
<p>So yeah, I’ll probably never get a girlfriend :D</p>
<p>That said, if you think your girlfriend (boyfriend) is awesome and you two can help each other in studying and stuff, congrats! I wish for you to continue down that path:D</p>

<p>well duh that’s what relationships are. it’s ingrained in our natural behavior to want to be physically attractive and such; that’s really not something you can be critical about. maybe this is killing idealism, but that’s what “romance” is based on inevitably…you just have to accept it and enjoy it for what it is</p>
<p>And here I thought I was enough hsl generations removed not to be remembered ;)</p>
<p>@nnormal, well there’s love and then there’s infatuation, and they aren’t just exclusive</p>
<p>@romanigypsyeyes not to worry there’re still a bunch of us around here that would recognize ya</p>

Well I was going off the assumption that we were strictly discussing relationships, not necessarily love. And most relationships stem from some form of infatuation. But maybe I just have a shaky definition of infatuation; i guess the word tends to have more of a negative connotation.</p>
<p>I know of a couple that both got 36s…awww…
CC-like romance.</p>
<p>I’m in a relationship that just started about three weeks ago. We’re both really nerdy, so it’s working out quite well.</p>
<p>I really want to be in a relationship. Sucks that all of the girls that go to my school are exactly what I don’t want. I want someone nerdy and smart like me, and there are none of those in my school. Hopefully in college ^_^.</p>
<p>no smart girls in your school? really?</p>
<p>I’ve been with my boyfriend for a little over 2 years (High school sophomore year - present). I’m a senior now so… LOL It is pretty nice having a boyfriend because you have someone you can really talk about things with.</p>
<p>Although I will say I’m not one of those girls that serial date. I’ve had 2 boyfriends my entire life and both of them have been serious (10+ months or longer). I don’t think dating in high school is stupid but I don’t think it’s something that people should chase after. If it happens, it happens. If not, you’ll meet new people in college anyway.</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>Dated a girl way back in freshman year. Lasted only a month and a half. Split wasn’t exactly amicable; I don’t think I talked to her for a year after the break-up.</p>
<p>Haven’t been in a relationship since. It’s not that I’m not interested, it’s just that I’m too focused on school right now (though I would definitely make room for a relationship if the opportunity popped up haha).</p>
<p>Definitely looking forward to possibly meeting someone in college.</p>
<p>Relationships?</p>
<p>Yes…</p>
<p>With my AP Euro Crash Course!</p>
<p>@Nnormal: I’m not quite critical about infatuation 
Sometimes I want to say sth that makes others listen, too. However, I do take into account its … unstability and evanescence. If a girl falls for me cuz I’m cool, she’s liable to fall for another guy, should he be cooler than me. And it can’t be help, though; high school students only get to know each other in such a narrow context that sometimes the criteria for a good lover remains blurred.</p>
<p>In my case, I think a relationship will have to wait until I get a job :D</p>
<p>Dating a Freshman PSU honors girl (Im hs senior)… Honestly she’s definitely the smarter half of us lol…LDR’s are tough (I live in CT, so 6hrs) but they’re really worth it once you see them again. Hopefully I get into Bucknell so I’ll only be 45min away :)</p>
<p>I’m not in a relationship and have never been in one, or on a date nonetheless, haha 
The few who have ever shown an interest in me were all guys I wasn’t attracted to, so I slyly hinted to them that I wasn’t interested.
I’m okay with waiting until college to have a relationship, though. 
The guys at my school are too immature. I don’t want to waste my time on them.</p>
<p>I am! Me and the girl I’ve had a crush on since 7th grade started dating this year. Unfortunately we met through our camp, so seeing her often means a lot of driving as she lives nearly 4 hours away. Oh well, at least we’re not the typical high school relationship!</p>
