<p>I'm a high school senior whose never had a girlfriend. It's not that I am extremely shy or crazy, just that I don't really care. I talk to everyone and am friends with almost everyone, its just that I don't think about anyone like that.</p>
<p>No, and why bother?</p>
<p>Either most guys who claim they're having sex with his girl are lying, or most girls who say they aren't having sex with their guy are lying. </p>
<p>Most people just want to show off their other, so it's just one big pretentious show-and-tell contest.</p>
<p>Some relationships are like that, but I wouldn't say "most"...</p>
<p>is it hard to have a girlfriend who doesnt go to your school but lives kinda close (within 15 minutes)?</p>
<p>Haha, I haven't had a boyfriend ever. XD And even worse, I've never had one of those "crushes". </p>
<p>I mean, I don't mean to be berating or degrading any of my male classmates, but I just don't find them attractive. (Maybe my standards are set too high)...the smart ones are either arrogant/holed up by themselves, and the pretty ones are nothing but faces. </p>
<p>Maybe I just haven't met enough guys >_O Or maybe it's just because I'm Asian, and my parents are SO anti-boyfriend-for-our-daughter <em>haha</em></p>
<p>i have never had a gf so far~~ i mean i know whats important for my life and what interferences will ruin my plan and such. i never even had a thought on dating or getting a gf since junior year, all my mind is set on studies, SAT's ,colleges~~ but hey ,i think that's good lol. most of my friends have dated,but hey they dont have the grades that i do =p i'll enjoy when the time comes.
still, i talk to other girls =p</p>

high school seems a bit early to decide who you want to spend the rest of your life with, doesn't it???

Well, not really. My mom got married at 19, and no she was not pregnant, and yes my parents are still together 20 years later. I know several [more than "several" really, but I don't want to exaggerate] couples that got married VERY soon after graduating from high school.
Lots of people can have committed relationships [committed in a mostly serious kind of way] in high school, and it's not just to "show off their other." Yes, obviously there are some couples like this, but not MOST.</p>

No, not if you're actually dating, instead of just "dating" [like.. holding hands at school, bahahaha]. It really shouldn't matter if you go to the same school if you guys really want to be in a relationship, lol.</p>
<p>Me :(</p>
<p>i did have a guy i really liked (he had family issues-mom had cancer, etc) and i go to a single sex school</p>
<p>i'm very outgoing; i just have VERY high standards. the guy has to be smart, & not into himself TOO much but still have a life on his own. That's not easy! Actually, I am happy college is coming soon b/c I will be able to meet a smarter group of people in general :)</p>
<p>Okay, here's the problem with the thought process of most of you that choose not to date (or rather the decision was made for you by the opposite sex): Dating IS NOT to find a future spouse. It can be for whatever you want it to be. Most people that date in high school aren't looking for the person they're going to spend the rest of their life with, they're looking for people they're attracted to and can have a good time with.</p>
<p>squelchy-- not at all! (provided that either or both of you drive/your parents are willing to make the commute). My boyfriend and I live 30 minutes away from each other and we manage to see each other at least once a week during the school year, and MUCH more when I don't have school and he doesn't have work.</p>
<p>Another problem in intentional-non-daters' thought processes -
Guess what, dating does NOT mean that you get lower grades! Wow, priorities! Wow!</p>
<p>Hahahaha agreed.</p>
<p>My grades have improved, if anything, since I started dating my bf, since I'm so competitive against him. >:]</p>
<p>I've dated girls and guys.</p>
<p>Relationships and dating are pretty different imo, and it seems that some people sorta blend them in. No relationship here, like the sappy kind that all guys pretend to be too badass for, but secretly want to have. But plenty of what I believe the facebook term for is "random play". Not because I'm that type of asshat guy, but because HS structure seems set up to encourage flings. If youre fairly busy, can only go out to a party on the weekend, spend your school time in clubs, flings are just about the only way to go. Most people I know also havent had long term gf, but have had many 1 week episodes, either because they are in it for the action, or because they cant dedicate their time to building a relationship.</p>
<p>LMU10 must be sexually confused</p>
<p>um i don't think I'm going to have one and I don't want one yet, too much of a hassle...</p>

<p>Keyword most. There are people out there looking for someone to spend their life with. I was one of them. My boyfriend was another. The day we started dating we were already joking about eloping. Less than two months in we decided we were "in it for the long haul." Six months in and we were both fairly sure we wanted to marry each other someday. Today marks two years, eight months and we've got a plan for the next five years set out, at the end of which we will be getting married.</p>

<p>Same here. I know one couple who was married days after graduation. I would be all for marrying my boyfriend as soon as he graduates but it would be really hard to be married and going to college, especially since we're probably going to different schools.</p>

<p>My grades have improved, actually, because my boyfriend pushed me to work harder than I was before. His have stayed the same, but they were perfect to begin with. ;) In a good, solid relationship, the other person should understand that you obviously need time to do homework and clubs and whatever you're involved in. And heck, homework dates can be fun! We do homework together a lot. That way, we're spending time together but still getting stuff done.</p>
<p>^good luck :)</p>
<p>I haven't had a boyfriend...simply because I'm too picky, and the few guys I like are either my best friends or too busy to have time for relationships. It doesn't bother me, but if I meet someone I <em>really</em> like, of course I want to date him...</p>
<p>Though, we have junior prom (instead of senior) and I went with a nice guy who has been my friend since preschool :)</p>
