What's the point of dating in High School?

<p>I don’t feel like I’m missing anything. It’s not like I’m swearing off high school relationships. If I found that “special someone” tomorrow, I would most definitely date him. I just don’t see the point of dating just for the sake of saying that you’ve dated someone.</p>

<p>Umm I’m a boy…</p>

<p>^But your mother won’t admit it?</p>

<p>^you’re awesome</p>

<p>I’m still trying to find the point of dating high school, and I don’t see one nor do I have the time. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against it. What ever happens happens I guess. Nevertheless, it’s definitely not a “must do” before one graduates.</p>

<p>I’m basically indifferent to the whole thing.</p>

<p>

Finding a mate and/or improving your skills at finding a mate.</p>

<p>Lol, you make it sound like we’re wild animals determined to pass on our genes. Not here my friend. Like I said, If it happens it happens :p. </p>

<p>I’m not trying to put you down, I just found the statement funny. :D</p>

<p>

We are…</p>

<p>Emphasis on wild… your terminology just made it come across that way.</p>

<p>Wild is a subjective word. We are animals intent upon passing on our genes. Elsewise, humanity would not be.</p>

<p>…</p>

<p>Point is I enjoy getting it in!!! OH YEAH! (High 5 anyone?)</p>

<p>Hahaha! :p</p>

<p>to get better at the stuff that school doesn’t teach you. lol anyways…
honestly, i think it’s fun. to be more than friends and learn more about a person on a more intimate level. you cross the boundary of being “just friends” and it’s one on one time with someone! fun fun =D</p>

<p>I don’t have sex with guys because I’m rushing or whatever. I do it because it’s something I enjoy, but it’s a huge bonus that when I do get involved with something serious I will have sexual experience under my belt. I simply don’t believe in the notion that you’re only supposed to have sex with someone you’re “in love” with. Guys separate emotions and sex all the time. I do the same thing. I’m sure sex is more meaningful with someone you love, but I haven’t fallen in love yet. Sooooo until I do I will have sex without love.</p>

<p>Well I guess I will found out the point because as my friends say “its facebook official” me and the girl are going out…I personally just how we make it to Prom so I have a date and all my friends can go together and stuff. But honestly I don’t think we will…I feel that she is already annoyed with me…</p>

<p>Good luck ! Having a girlfriend is HARD. haha. Just make sure you’re both happy.</p>

<p>are you guys kidding me, finding a mate? if you only think about dating in biological terms then it’s no wonder you’ve never been in a relationship. how about for the experience? i’ve dated a few guys casually and if nothing else, i’ve learned a lot and had some fun. however, i’ve been in a serious relationship for over a year and a half (give or take a couple of breaks and one other guy…) and it’s the best part of my life. i couldn’t survive school or other people if i didn’t have him. it’s just nice to have someone who i can be completely genuine with. plus i’m a very physical person. :wink: </p>

<p>i wouldn’t want to go into college knowing nothing about relationships or sex, that’s for sure. and right now i could honestly see myself marrying the guy i’m dating, but i doubt we’ll last through college.</p>

<p>^^Yeah I’ve noticed…and its only been one day</p>

<p>It all depends on the person. I think that people are so used to thinking that dating is a form of social validation or casual sex, and they forget that it can also be deeply spiritual to know another person and love them. In its purest form, relationships can benefit everyone. :slight_smile: Of course, it’s also up to you to balance it with other parts of your life.</p>
