“Relationships”
What people call dating these days is pretty ridiculous. You meet someone drunk at a party, hook up with them, get their number, text them sometimes and then the next week you’re dating them. High school really distorts what I personally consider dating..
I consider dating (at our age) to be seeing what you like. Experimenting (not sexually), trying new things and having fun. But not TOO much fun. I think it’s good to date a few guys, see what’s out there and what not. But once you find something you like, stay with it and see how it goes from there.
By boyfriend and I will have been dating for 3 years in September. A lot of people tell me that I’ve been dating him for too long for how young I am, and should try something new.
But I’m happy, and I’m still learning a lot by being with him. So I don’t see that need right now.
When I see my friends getting around, being scandalous and cheating on their “Boyfriends” of two weeks it makes me sick. Why are you dating someone if you can’t even handle being with ONLY them?
When you begin to date someone, it’s making a commitment. Not like a marriage, but it’s a commitment just like when you say you’ll go out for lunch with someone or have the car home by 9.
Another thing… why do you need to get so upset when they dump you like you’re dirt? If you date a guy that doesn’t respect girls don’t expect a breakup with rainbows. If you didn’t know he doesn’t respect girls then you shouldn’t have been dating him at all because clearly you didn’t know him enough to start off!
I really believe it’s important to know a person very well before you begin a relationship with them. People are always worried about dating their friends because they don’t want to ruin their friendships. But sometimes that can be the best relationship you find since you already know so much about them!
Friendship is such a good base to a dating relationship. People just don’t value relationships anymore and I think that’s really sad… Anyways let me konw what you guys think!
wow, ii think that you make a valid point!! ii agree with you. ii went on dates for a few months with my (now) boyfriend. we met in December and went on dates until he asked me out in february. ii was so happy that we could just spend quality time together. ii beleieve that by getting to know soemone berfore, and not just jumping into a relationship, shows that you want it to work and it also helps the two people to figure out whether therer is a chance it will work..if it does nnot, then they wont date. but breaking up with somene becausde it “just is not working” after like two weeks..well going on dates before-hand would have helped to solve that problem.
