<p>This is for the parents out there mainly? Did any of you guys marry your girlfriends / boyfriends at boarding school ? Were any of the relationships you had at boarding school long term ? What's it like meeting up with a former boarding school lover at the alumni functions ?</p>
<p>And for the teens out there ... do you think you could commit long term to your GF/BF at boarding schools ? Do you think you have experienced true love ? Whats the longest relationship you've had at boarding school ?</p>
<p>What do you think of teachers getting married ?</p>
<p>At bs most relationships are shorter because you're basically married once you start dating. I mean you see your boyfriend/girlfriend everyday and all day it feels like so most relationships last like 3 weeks. But then there are couples who seem to be like made for each other and they last school years together. So I think that at bs school you just go through the meaningless relationships faster, but the really good relationships come out really strong.</p>
<p>And I think it would be pretty cool if one of my teachers got married, I love fac families!</p>
<p>LOL, this is a rather interesting question. Generally, my friends at my school merely "hook up" meaning we don't do relationships. I think it's because all of us live at the school, so people see each other more and flirt with each other more... Am I making any sense? lol Anyways, I'd say the dating scene is more backward. No one dates, because it's hard to go out. But this is of course only my school. I wouldn't know about other BS</p>
<p>My friend goes to Hotchkiss and from what I can gather... relationships don't last. I mean, all that proximity and what not, tensions probably get rough. I believe that there's a lot of hooking up and other sketchy thing that he enjoys bragging about. Also, it seems that a lot of people who are in relationships at boarding school are in relationships with people... back at home.</p>
<p>I go to an all girls school which is within 3 miles of our brother school. the girls here do have relationships with the boys at our brother school. ahaha, just not the healthiest. the thing is though, its mostly based on hooking up and the physical aspect of it. nobody is ever "in love" or anything. its 50% "friends with benefits" here :)
if you've ever been to a dance at a single sex school you would understand, ahahah.
but then there are some other people who make things work. my friend went to kindergarten with this boy at the brother school. they lost touch when he moved and then they randomly got introduced to eachother at some event. they became best friends and then after a year they went into a relationship. its great because you don't feel smothered by your significant other like you would if you were basically living with them.</p>
<p>ahaha so true about single sex school dances, bumbleB. good times...not. I think I went to about two dances before I decided, um, no, getting as close as possible with a bunch of awkward boys that I've never met before, not really how I want to spend my time. People I knew had "relationships" but like bumbleB said, it was more the physical aspect of it, though one of my friends claims to be in love with hers (who she's still together with, we're freshmen in college now).</p>
