<p>Purely out of curiosity, how many of you guys are in relationships? Part of me wants to say that most CC users aren’t, but most this site’s users have also proved to be atypical from the stereotypical, socially-inept high school academic.</p>
<p>uh most high schooler are not taken, i think. It’s like 30/70 (30 percent in relationships).</p>
<p>I think I’m on the verge of a relationship. It’s kind of complicated, though. Not much more I can say. :D</p>
<p>There are plenty of those at my school. I’m pretty sure there are about 10 unofficial couples out of my grade of 60. Pretty much “on the verge” of dating.</p>
<p>@Descuff at my school it would be closer to 1/10 or lower… it might be different at other schools but that seems a bit high.</p>
<p>There’s really no shortage of hook-up buddies or whatever you want to call it either.</p>
<p>I can relate, Studious. Trust me. :D</p>
<p>Edit: The idea of hook-ups never really caught on at my school. It just sounds odd for high school itself.</p>
<p>3:7 ratio lol 3 out of every 7 people. of course it is misleading imo. But what you saying is like only 1/10 people goes to prom. My school have about 2500 students so it fairly easy to turn a corner and find someone holding holds and all.</p>
<p>@helloel that’s true, but disregarding them there aren’t many relationships going on in my school…</p>
<p>@Descuff Around here a lot of people just go to prom with their friends. Yea, if someone likes someone else they will ask the person they like to prom, but that doesn’t seem to happen too often.</p>
<p>Its prom-asking season at my school because we have an early prom. I personally find it all very awkward. Like a guy that your friend likes asks you, or a guy you don’t like asks you before the guy you do like can ask, people set you up. Ah, all the drama of pre-prom overdoes the actual event itself. Oh and you can’t say no to any guy that asks you, is an unofficial rule at my school.</p>
<p>I’m really not looking forward to Junior/Senior Prom. I don’t want to be that social outcast that doesn’t go because he says he has better things to do (we all know that’s a lie). But I also find that the process of asking people (outlined above) is just annoying.</p>
<p>It is annoying. And then you get judged for who you go with. Oh our prom is sophomore/junior/senior.</p>
<p>@anaychi u would be in the majority actually. Most people dont do to prom instead go somewhere prom weekend.</p>
<p>Elizabeth: Do you plan on going? It must be annoying to deal with as a Sophomore.</p>
<p>Descuff: I’m still gonna do Prom. The whole process that happens before it is the annoying part.</p>
<p>Yeah, pretty much everyone goes. I can’t think of one single person now who has said they weren’t. It’s also basically the only major dance or social event at my school.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>My sentiments exactly. The only thing I’m looking forward to is the after party.</p>
<p>I’m just hoping I can get a girlfriend before prom so I can avoid all the terrible awkwardness/uncertainty of having to ask someone.</p>
<p>I actually know a girl who started dating this guy last week just to have a for sure date. I actually think that happens a lot.</p>
<p>College?
helloel: at a school like Amherst or Kenyon, I think. Small schools with great coffee.
StudiousMaximums: I want to say something like MIT or Harvard, except I don’t see you as sufficiently snobbish. So maybe Brown or UPenn.
anaychi: I want to say Northwestern or Stanford
98beebee: This is hard! I think maybe Columbia? Or maybe Tufts. </p>
<p>Prom’s so romanticized that you can’t help but be disappointed. I’m not even a cynical person.</p>
<p>I’m actually not a huge coffee drinker, haha. Like it’s not a daily thing.</p>
<p>I’ve never actually even thought about LACs, but I’ll probably look into it when I’m a junior. University of Chicago is my dream school. But that seems to always change.</p>
