What's the point of dating in High School?

<p>I find it to be a huge waste of time…</p>

<p>@Zombie</p>

<p>I say it’s could and yes I have had one (well more than one). I do have to say though it gets A LOT better after HS, though I biased at the moment haha.</p>

<p>@Zombie
I’m currently seeing someone.</p>

<p>UHHH!!! People it is @Dante !!! not @Zombie! </p>

<p>>:O</p>

<p>@Zombie (LOL), I think it takes up time which I otherwise would just spend with my head in my palm, browsing CC. Plus, you get to “get some” if you’re lucky.</p>

<p>@Interficio I was going to get mad at you but that palm and head thing was way to FUNNY!! Anyway no I don’t want some though…</p>

<p>How hard is it to maintain a Senior-Sophomore relationship once the senior goes off to college? (College is like 3 hrs away)</p>

<p>No thread jacking!!!</p>

<p>@wonderva Not to crush dreams but im pretty sure that will be tough. But nothing is impossible, im sure he can visit quite a lot.</p>

<p>Uhh I can’t believe I’m about to go on a date UHHH why :(</p>

<p>I wonder the same thing, because high school sweethearts rarely work out. I’m a senior, and I had sex with guys but didn’t get into relationships. I view hs as fun and games – experimenting with sex without getting involved in anything serious. The serious stuff can come later. However, everyone is different, and some people prefer dating to hooking up. The way I see it is that you have college to find that “special someone”.</p>

It’s completely worth it if you’re in a relationship like the one I’m in.</p>

<p>To get laid, and to get experience for college. So what if the relationship isn’t going to last. Who says you can’t have fun while it does?</p>

<p>exactly. You don’t want to go into college not knowing how to manage relationships or having any type of sexual experience unless you know, you plan on saving it and all that other good stuff.</p>

<p>I don’t get it…but I guess this is just me…I don’t want to hook up with as many people as possible…That is like so pointless (well to me). And I kinda find that slutty esp when people say stuff like massgirl92 did</p>

<p>No idea…</p>

<p>Personally, I’m a junior in high school and have never been in a relationship. I have never found that “special someone,” and I believe dating is for finding a mate. Yes, most high school relationships won’t last, and, yes, with this mindset I most likely won’t have my first relationship until later in life, but I would much rather have very few meaningful relationships than twenty anonymous hookups just so I could say I was experienced. It doesn’t matter to me if I go to college with no experience because I want any experience, dating or otherwise, to be special and meaningful. So many people rush into “relationships” afraid to be looked down upon as immature, but you’d be surprised how many people don’t date until college.</p>

<p>Side note: Don’t attack me for this, but I don’t believe high school students should have sex. To each his own, I guess.</p>

<p>!!! I feel the EXACT same way Grammargirl94 lik everything you said I agree with!</p>

<p>I FELT exactly the way both of you do. Hooking up with as many people as possible is stupid, and the majority of high school relationships are not fun, filled with drama and crying girls, and worthless.
But I got to know someone who I just get along with perfectly. Our relationship isn’t all…i don’t know how to say it…like stereotypical and all. We’re just like best friends, with benefits ;). We make fun of each other and if you saw us you’d never guess we’re going out. Relationships like that are 110% worth it because a.) you actually found someone you might be with for a very long time. or b.)you experience relationships without being a whore, and you get a lot of happy memories out of it.
But the only way to find someone like that is to get to know people and maybe go on an awkward date or two.</p>

<p>While you two gals might feel that way, I feel that your really missing out on an essential part of being a teenager in high school and that is to explore relationships. But like you said to each their own. I hope you two find people that make you extremely happy later on in life when you are ready. :)</p>
