<p>The Urban Dictionary comes in handy when reading these threads.</p>
<p>In high school, I don’t feel that there’s a need for boyfriends, if you want to be successful. Of course, there’s the relationships that are beneficial for both boyfriend and girlfriend, but at this age, most boys are stupid and just obsessed with boobs and butts so…no. High school itself is hard to handle and with a boyfriend it would be way too much. Don’t try to find a guy just because your friends have one. You are a strong, independent woman and you don’t need a boyfriend who doesn’t care about you. You don’t need to conform. At the very least, if you get a boyfriend, make sure it’s for yourself and he treats you well.</p>
<p>Nope people think I’m too intimidating and a bit too hyper hehe (truth is I’m just too fab for them :D)</p>
<p>Unfortunately that is against our school rules.</p>
<p>@xye, Catholic school?</p>
<p>I personally am in one. However it doesn’t affect me considering we don’t go to the same school and we play the same sport so we can help each other. We’ve been dating for like 8 months and we haven’t done anything to jeopardize our future so for us it’s okay!</p>
<p>I’m in one, but it’s kinda weird. He’s my best friend And he has liked me for ages. I started seriously liking him like after I agreed to date him. I originally just said yes because it made him ridiculously happy, and it was worth it cause he’s always been there for me, which means something cause I’m a difficult person. We’re really comfortable with each other (best friends first, romantic partners second), and we’re not into PDA. The best part is that his natural self is so “parentally approved”, it’s crazy.</p>
<p>High school relationships make me laugh lul. Perhaps I’m just too pragmatic to be caught up in a relationship. Either way, my school has no acceptable gay boys.</p>
<p>@menacing I feel ya. ((Minus the gay boy part bc I’m a girl))</p>
<p>@amazinganna preach it girl~ :thumbup:</p>
<p>Hey guys. I’m glad I created an account. This is the greatest thing to happen to me all day. Perhaps a place to vent? Or is this not a place to unleash unkempt anger and frustration with society? Haha</p>
<p>My school’s pretty dumb. I follow a lot of people from my school on twitter. They always post pictures of pornography followed with laughing emojiis. All the girls are rather slutty, and the few that aren’t slutty are rather naive or stupid. It’s a terrible battlefield out here in the suburbs. </p>
<p>I’m not in a relationship. I feel as if a LOT of girls are not willing to date Asian men because of previously proclaimed stereotypes that makes them feel as if Asian men are not interesting because the stereotypes already tell them what they need to know.</p>
<p>Forever alone. Until I get to college I hope.</p>
<p>Can somebody tell me out in the civilized world… Does it… get better for Asian men? Do girls eventually grow up from the behavior forementioned?</p>
<p>I’m not allowed to date until “I get married” haha.</p>
<p>@eding97 -</p>
<p>Personally, I have no issues dating boys of any race or ethnicity regardless of stereotypes and basically everyone I know feels the same. Try talking to different girls :)</p>
<p>Also, I’m not in a relationship. I was in one for four months my freshmen year with a very nice boy, but it didn’t work out.
Congrats to all of you in successful relationships :)</p>
<p>I’ve been in four relationships over the past three and a half years, and the only thing I have to say is that it can be time consuming. However, if you find the right partner, it can work out. Freshman year, I dated a girl (9 months) who introduced me to Albert Camus, existentialism, and philosophy. Sophomore year I was cheated on by the aforementioned girl and focused on my studies. Junior year I dated three girls, and I’m still with one of them. (So, senior year I’m still with my girlfriend of 7 months.) Time management usually is an issue in my relationships given my somewhat rigorous course-load (8 AP’s this year/15 AP’s in total), but the girl I’m dating now (a junior) takes 5 AP’s, so it works out and we get together for study dates and such. Whenever we’re both free we just hang out/go to the movies. </p>
<p>And then there was another thread where the OP asked how people on CC in successful relationships met:
We met at an AP Euro study session. :)</p>
<p>Nope, still waiting for the right guy.</p>
<p>I don’t know what you guys are complaining about. I’m brown, I can’t see my “girlfriend” until after the wedding.</p>
<p>Okay, maybe I’m not that brown and that’s a huge maybe considering I’m addicted to Bollywood movies (so bad, yet so good). Anyways, I’ve never personally ventured into the relationship arena. No, not because I was scared of being beaten to death by a pair of sandals wielded by my assassin of a mother, though that’s been a reoccurring nightmare of mine. Instead, I’ve been just too busy doing my own thing - you know, questioning life and all that other good stuff that comes with age, leaving no room for relationships. </p>
<p>That being said, if anyone’s down for a romantic Bollywood flick -well, you know where to find me <em>insert inappropriate joke</em></p>
<p>Just broke up with someone, ha. Relationships are exhausting at this point in life. I was friends with him before but I think I got too into things too quickly. Way too draining, I have other things to focus on…! I don’t regret it and it was a wake up call for me in many parts of life. I learned a lot. And I’m moving on. We’re still friends, so hopefully that’ll go well. </p>
<p>My advice - don’t jump into relationships it’s not worth it! Unlike others I don’t really have a problem with dating for experience, but seriously at least make sure the person you’re dating understands what your limitations are. It can get awkward quickly if you don’t consider the long term - IMO very few people are ready to settle down with their first sweetheart or right after high school - your relationship will probably not last at least in the short run, and you need to at least personally acknowledge that. High school relationships seem to be reaally intense because it might be the first time you date, just remember to have fun, be safe, don’t rush into stuff. It was rewarding 
But also taxing. I will not be doing that again for a while lol</p>
<p>@spikesandswords Don’t know if this is too late to be seen lol, but seriously, straight up tell him / her that you need some sort of idea what is happening. One of two situations can occur: 1) if s/he’s playing you then s/he might get some respect and talk about it, or otherwise you’ll have dodged a bullet and s/he’ll walk away, 2) if s/he is genuinely unsure or has problems but you’ve given him/her an acceptable length of time to think it over by him/herself, it will help to just talk it out trust me. Show that you’re not an ******* and you’re willing to negotiate over this - it’s awkward but if you like him/her it’s so worth it. And it’ll stop either of you from being hurt too much in the long run.</p>
<p>Nope. I feel too young…and i guess at 16, I am. Plus, 16, graduating a year early, nine classes? Yeah, aint nobody got time fo’ dat haha i love sleep too much.</p>
<p>i’m not gonna even try… i think high school romance is sweet and there are times when it lasts, but its not something i ever wanted.</p>
