<p>@kaeroze well I don’t think I lead on because I always go in with full intention of “this time will be different. Ill actually follow through.” I don’t think I’m worried about getting hurt. But you are right that I’m more interested in the chase of a girl, than an actual relationship.</p>
<p>Relationships can be a time-drain, but that’s something that you’ll have to be smart about. Through relationships you learn to look after yourself as well as someone else. Even if your first few relationships terminate (in disaster) … at least you’ll have gained some time management skills. At least you’ll leave with a better sense of how to make time for both yourself, and a significant other. In this way, HS relationships are not a waste of time. Not all HS relationships may end happily ever after, but at least they provide a sort of “practice” in interacting with other people, caring about them, etc.</p>
<p>The thing I enjoy most about a relationship is the companionship. That touchy feely cuddly stuff is great, but it’s nice having someone who’s a) willing to listen and b) whose thoughts and interests resonate with yours.</p>
<p>I do want to be in a relationship. I understand that it’s not going to be “true love” & that it’s not going to last, and I understand that relationships can be extremely time consuming.</p>
<p>But I know a way to work around the latter: I’ll find a guy with similar aspirations as me and we’ll have study dates 4lyf! Yay! /shot</p>
<p>I want to have had a boyfriend, for the experience and to not be such a loser, but actually having one would be way too much effort at the moment. I have enough distractions as it is.</p>
<p>I’m far too busy improving myself and, well, surviving.
Where I currently live doesn’t offer much in the way of suitable guys. Me and my standards. Lawl xD</p>
<p>Um… not all high school relationships are a waste of time. My boyfriend helps me with my homework and vice versa even though he’s in college right now. We didn’t even go to the same school but that didn’t stop us from motivating each other to do better in classes and get things done. And I’ve been with him almost two years now…</p>
<p>No time and I don’t know anyone I really like. I was mostly in classes with the Class of 2012 that graduated so I don’t have solid relationships/friendships with people in my own grade. </p>
<p>I think college will be better. More people with similar interests and what not.</p>
<p>none of the guys I like ever like me back (not totally true but yeah), so I’ve basically given up lulz Dx
@ecouter - I agree! I’m excited for college because I’ll be able to fit in better ^__^</p>
<p>“So pretty much I want what is out of reach.” <---- this.</p>
<p>Pretty much what goodnoodle said- I lose interest when they gain interest. And I’m female.</p>
<p>And then when they stop showing interest, the feelings come back full force.</p>
<p>It sucks. Not to mention my “crushes” (or whatever they are) typically last for a year or more.</p>
<p>I’ve gone out with two kids, both of whom I’d thought I’d liked (at the time), but now I realize that I didn’t actually have feelings for either of them.</p>
<p>For the most part, I don’t really want to be in another relationship any time soon; the only thing I miss is the physicality. I’m extremely independent, and more of a hermit than the average person (these don’t seem to be rare personality traits here, haha), and I definitely felt stifled while with both of those guys; relationships seem to demand a lot of time and attention, neither of which I’m honestly able (or willing) to offer at this point in my life. I’m also less emotional than the average girl, but I still want to feel like the girl in the relationship (no offense intended to any guys here who are significantly more sensitive than average).</p>
<p>I have my friends (male & female) for emotional support/companionship/whatever, and they do a more than adequate job of understanding and being there for me… I don’t need a boyfriend for that.</p>
<p>TL;DR- kind of, but it’s not really worth it at this point (for me).</p>
<p>I’ve had 2 relationships so far, and to be honest, I don’t think I could handle one right now. Both relationships I’ve been in so far demanded so much of my time, but I still felt so bad for not spending more time with the guy I was dating. I feel like a relationship right now would hurt both me and the person I date.</p>
<p>I don’t like anyone and no one likes me. Yay high school!</p>
<p>I think dating in high school is so cool. I’ve dated and it wasn’t completely time consuming. We just made time for each other :). It came to a end because of drama and all that good stuff. One reason I had time for a relationship is probably because my course load, I’m only taking two AP classes nothing big.</p>
<p>From what I’ve experienced, relationships make it hard for me to concentrate. I constantly feel the need to call, text, whoever I’m going out with and I feel entitled to him. Plus, when relationships end, I tend to make enemies and I really don’t like that.</p>
<p>Oh dear! My mom said I can be in a relationship as long as I can keep up my grades (which is much harder than it sounds). If the boy/girl is worth it, then I don’t see why not. I think it’s just very hard to balance school and a relationship. I’m in extracurricular, taking AP/Honors and thankfully still in the top 5%… At the same time, I care about this boy who understands my future unfortunately depends on how I do in high school. I’m not smart or genius (though that would be convenient), I just work harder. </p>
<p>It’s true though. Most high school relationships are a waste of time, and you don’t need one to enjoy your high school year. Make sure you always make time for yourself to have fun though. I worked my butt off Sundays-Thursdays, but it all payed off. Work Hard, Party Hard (sorta).</p>
<p>I don’t want to be in a relationship just to be in a relationship.</p>
<p>I’ve never felt the desire for a relationship because they seem tedious… but who am I to say, I’ve never been in one. In truth that’s probably because I lack the confidence needed to even pursue a relationship. Oops, social anxiety.</p>
<p>Megchai, winner of the humble brag</p>
<p>As for me being a boy, I oftentimes do wish I had the companionship of a female. But like another poster, I have the same paradox. I can easily get a girlfriend, but the fact that I can easily get a girlfriend makes me lose interest. I have had tons of girls fancy me, but everytime one does, I don’t know how to approach it, and lose interest with it.
Maybe me not being in a high school relationship is for the better.</p>
<p>I have had a couple stressful relationships and it can suck, but there is nothing better than knowing someone love and cares for you like the way you do them. Plus I’ve liked this girl for the longest time so yeah I’d like one now. :P</p>
<p>Yes I want to be, but I am forever alone (the guys I like NEVER like me back). I have liked the same person for a little over a year now.</p>
