<p>I’ve been in a relationship for three years. I don’t think high school relationships are “pointless” because I have had so many of my best memories with my boyfriend. I’m not saying I think we’re going to be together forever, I’m just saying we’ve had a really great time and we’ve been through so much together. We’re struggling with what we might do next year but even if it ends before college I don’t care because I’ve loved the years we’ve spent together.</p>
<p>what a fun thread. :p</p>
<p>Work on Six Pack abs and nicely sized pectoral muscles with your bisceps firmly toned. Also shave thos scraggly hairs and dont look tired and head down to your beach that looks like crap and presto! A Relationship begins like in a Lifetime Made for TV Movie!</p>
<p>I’ve only been in my current relationship for a year, but I wouldn’t say that high school relationship are pointless. The basis of my attraction to this person was who I thought he was, and that person did turn out to be sweet, considerate, creative, bright, and generally… cheery. Easily incited into fits of throaty laughter.
We share a few classes, so it helps to remind one another of assignments. I’ll admit, attempting to get work done with him, like hanging out to “study”, isn’t always productive. I’m also much more academically motivated than he is, so we mutually agree that I do better in school in some areas. But having someone there who’s also exceedingly bogged down by the stress of the imminence of college and “the future” is a comfort. The sense of emotional dependence can be a hassle, when I step back and so a self inventory check. However, I will always value the ability to look past conflicts and annoyances, to handle someone with care on a personal level.</p>
<p>I think it’s undeniably nice to be in a relationship. However; I’m not in one and have no desire to be. There is a difference between recognizing the beauty in what you don’t have and being obsessed. I think that the kid in my English class would be great for a date or two and he’s exciting to talk to, but I don’t want to be in a relationship with him.
I don’t know if anyone else has this or if its just me, but relationships, beyond being a lot of work seem really silly to me. I’d gamble it’s because there is no one I want to date but regardless I shouldn’t be in a relationship. It would end badly, I can accept that. With that said I think that relationships are nice. I think having someone to talk to and care about you is nice. It’s just not happening for me.</p>
<p>I think relationships go wrong because the two people are too obsessed with each other. I think the world would be a lot more peaceful if people only dated people they felt indifferently toward (in the beginning). The love would develop over time.</p>
<p>I just don’t expect anything now to last and while it would probably be fun for a while, it’s just more work. You have to find ways to spend time with each other, you can’t be grumpy and annoyed when things aren’t going well (in the relationship or even for something else)- essentially, you have to put someone else’s needs on par or slightly below your own, which I can’t do.</p>
<p>Also, I think I have a lot of soul searching and thinking to do. I don’t know who or what I really am and I don’t want to go in pretending to be someone that I’m not. I’ve done that before and it just didn’t work out well. According to myer briggs, there aren’t that many female INTJs out there, so people aren’t used to them (?). I don’t know how much faith I put into that test, though.</p>
<p>I have a already lawl</p>
<p>Gf*^^^^^^^^^^</p>
<p>ecouter, you unleashed the floodgates. MB test results time.</p>
<p>INTJ master race reporting in.</p>
<p>F that. I’d rather be focused on my studies. Some 4 month crush endeavor isn’t helpful. I know some kids that are in high school just for dating, basically. </p>
<p>One of my friends is so desperate to get a girlfriend, it’s sad
Plus another one is still having some sort of relationship with the girl that cheated on him</p>
<p>IT’S A WASTE OF TIME. It brings drama that is not needed. A lot of people get bitter after breaking up.</p>
<p>Plus, hollywood actors don’t go to highschool.</p>
<p>It’s not a waste of time, if you know how to manage it. I’ve been with my girlfriend for 3 years (Since 7th grade :P). I haven’t noticed any time being wasted, life shouldn’t revolve around studying and getting 100% on every assignment.</p>
<p>I think it’d be pretty nice to have a companion. It’s not like I’m expecting us to get married or something.</p>
<p>I oftentimes do wish for a female companion. As with many boys, whenever I interact with a girl, through smiles or words, I imagine myself spending the rest of my life with her!
I have been thinking about women to the point where I believe it interferes with my real world work. So I am telling myself to not think about romancing with women; the real man can work to provide for one.</p>

<p>Dang, you sound like one of those weird alien races who have never felt love on Star Trek</p>
<p>So I totally want to be in a relationship with this guy I like (and I’m pretty sure he likes me back).</p>
<p>But then I’m like “Naw, gotta study for dat SAT”</p>
<p>Seems like most people think that relationships are a waste of time? But try thinking about it this way - you only get to be young once. I’d rather be a little less successful in the future and have enjoyed my youth than go to Harvard and have spent every night of high school studying or doing a billion ECs. I’m not saying you should go and date every/girl in your school, but the first kisses, infatuation, and heartbreaks are an important part of youth that you don’t want to miss!</p>
<p>Infatuation is an important part of youth.</p>
