people are closer on a friends only basis and don't want to risk ruining those friendships.

Lollllllllllll I hate when people say that this is why they don't date. "Oh, I don't want to, um, risk my goooood friendship..." lololololoo riiight</p>
<p>I have also never had a boyfriend. But there is some one I want to be my boyfriend.</p>
<p>I have but not since sophomore year lol.</p>
<p>I don't want a girl that is stupid (there goes 95% of my school), a girl that isn't a whore (another 2%), and a girl that isn't completely fugly (1%)...</p>
<p>basically there are 2 girls that I like at my school. Both are Christian though, very Christian...so I know it wouldn't work out. I'm pretty into Atheism lol.</p>
<p>Uh, responding to inveniamviam, that is often a perfectly good reason to not date. I have dated in the past, and there are honestly girls I have too much fun talking to/hanging out with that I would never consider asking them out. But, you should obviously look outside your friend circle lol.</p>
<p>Inveniamviam - The small school thing does play into it. Especially if you've been with the same kids since kindergarten. They've been together so much that it would almost be like dating a cousin.</p>
<p>Speaking from past experience, if you like someone just start talking to them. Say hi everyday for a week, then ask about homework, then move on to music or movies. Soon you'll know if you really like them. Find some group thing to do. Plan a wii contest, a movie marathon at your house, go bowling, anything and get to know him/her in a relaxed atmosphere. After a couple of times, ask them out. Yes, even you girls. </p>
<p>I had a giant crush on a boy in Chemistry and never let him know until my 25th reunion. He said he liked me, too and why didn't I ever talk to him. Get over yourselves. Live a little, life is too short to wonder what could have been.
One more thing, I am sure you are all better looking than you think are, except for all the arrogant boys, who never are as good looking as they think they are. Unfortunately, the arrogant girls are beautiful.</p>
<p>yea inveniamviam. I've been asked out numerous times by guys I know outside of my school, and so have a lot of my girl friends. So how else do you explain why nobody within my school dates each other??? I truly believe it's because its a small school made up of lots of old friends...not people using that as an escuse as to why they are single...they simply choose to be that way because they prefer it.</p>
<p>It's probably a bit like Olincest.</p>
<p>(I'm a sophomore.)</p>
<p>It's not like I haven't been asked, I just don't see why I should say yes if I don't really like the guy. Having a boyfriend just to have a boyfriend = epic waste of time, and lo and behold, most of my friends/the people I talk to waste their time on guys and complain afterward. I personally have no problem fulfilling my own life -- if the right guy comes along, that's great, but it's not the end of the world if you're not attached to anyone...</p>
<p>And besides that, g<0.00001%, when g is the amount of high school guys that aren't completely undateable. :]</p>

I wasn't saying that the person doesn't date BECAUSE they are just friends with the person. It would be ridiculous to date someone in whom your only interest is friendship. I mean people who actually do like each other and would date each other, but they're like "oh, we have suuuuch a good friendship, I just don't want to risk it." I dunno if I'm expressing myself clearly, lol, but there's a difference between what you all said and what I meant.</p>

most of the people in the overachiever crowd at my school don't date. there just isn't time. one girl i know tried, and dumped her boyfriend when her grades dropped to B+s.

<p>lol..........</p>
<p>No. Most of the girls at my school have severe emotional problems or are not attractive. I'm not kidding. If Megan Fox went to my school, the answer might be different (though she's WAY out of my league).</p>
<p>Also, I have not had time to get my license (no joke) so it would be pointless.</p>
<p>does long-distance count?</p>
<p>^ internet? :/</p>
<p>...and phone</p>
<p>mmmm damn geographyyy</p>
<p>Oh, and I'm a prude who would be totally against any sex of any variety until marriage for religious reasons. That limits the number of girls significantly...</p>
<p>ooh don't worry, there are plenty of decently intelligent girls who would love nothing more than the delicious challenge of corrupting you -- of at least attempting to make you doubt your intended course of action</p>
<p>Oh, it's not just a challenge. It's an impossibility. That's what everyone said in middle school, and here I am, four years later, never having drunk/done drugs and having turned down several offers of one-day-stands. :P</p>
