I've asked/went out with multiple people the past years in school but it almost always ends up break ups or me being rejected. So, as it is I've been single most of highschool.
Being single during high school is good in my opinion. Lowers your chances for becoming a parent too soon, getting an std/sti, and it's easier to focus on your education. Plus, almost everyone neither knows what they want, nor what they're doing; and just blindly feeling up on each other in hopes to satisfy their primal urges to procreate.
Just focus on you. Build up your self-esteem, know what you want in a partner, and how you want to be treated. Get birth control (if you're a woman), and condoms to add to it. Learn about Infatuation V.S. Love, and understand the difference.
Also, dont jump into a serious commitment like marriage or living together so soon; because infatuation is nature's way of making us procreate as well, by increasing our dopamine levels (and more) at the beginning stages of relationships so we have sex more often and such. After the chemicals in our brain settle down (which can take to a few months to 2 or so years), we truly start seeing who were dating, which is why there is no need to rush. Instead, just enjoy the love high while having safe sex, and try your best not to become obsessed or think it's true love.
Good luck. We all go through this shit, so no worries, just date smart and you'll be okay.
It's not that you're terrible at it.
It's mostly because you end up with someone who isn't right for you or can't be bothered to give a chance.
Maybe so. I suppose I haven't found the right person yet, understandably so.
Yeah, give it time. Relationships are basically trial and error combined with some good timing. So don't worry so much about it, you'll find someone someday.
I'll just have to wait it out and see. I just assumed I'd I have decent relationship in school just because thats usually pretty normal. However it seems I'm the outlier.
Nah, school relationships rarely work out. It's not impossible, it's just less likely to last. High school is the prime time for drama and break ups. People have better luck in college or after that since there's been time to mature.
I'll be entering college soon, but at the current moment I'm still in school so I'm unaware of the gap in maturity. It's an embarrassing thought but I get lonely sometimes you know.
We'll see what happens I suppose. Worst case scenario I'm just in the same state as I was in highschool, which is fine.
