Why do people date in high school?

49 Comments

Its highly unlikely you will marry the person, you are too immature to know what you really want, you should play the field a bit, see whats out there and you only really date a person because of how they look, so why do people actually date in high school?

Because its fun! 19
They might be 'the one' 21
Ahem.... sex? 40
For experience? 43

        I think it's better to wait after seeing all my friends go through the whole boyfriend drama in high school. It just didn't seem worth it. I had a crush on this boy all 4 years...he would lead me on then he'd have a girlfriend...they'd break up and the cycle would repeat. Stupid high school.

      Aww, same here. But three girls from school got back in touch using Facebook and said they all had crushes on me and used to call me "Superman" behind my back. Almost like they had a little fan club. Now it's all out in the open, they just tease me about it. It's funny, I guess.

      But, anyway, maybe there was a group of guys who had a "Hudson" group and used to meet up and talk about you. Wouldn't surprise me!

          Hehe, I was no great shakes. Scruffy hair and clothes, glasses, captain of the chess club. Plus all the girls wanted older guys. My big crush got pregnant at 15 to a 31 year old milkman. Broke my heart!

          Now I'm her crush. She pesters me on Facebook to meet up so she can do bad things to me and I always refuse. Funny how things work out.

    It's practice for the "real" relationships you'll have as an adult. Before even those teenage dating experiences, you practice treating people you love with respect through your friendships you have in childhood. It's all practice for the big game.

    That's why people cringe when they meet prospective mate who has no relationship experience. It is because it's a pain in the ass dealing with someone who doesn't know how to behave appropriately in a relationship. So many relationship novices are needy, emotionally volatile, and selfish.

    Probably(or MOSTLY rather) because they're sexually attracted to the person, and because it's fun. But I still believe that any two people should get to know each other before their relationship becomes serious.

        Yeah! LOL But I stand by what I said "GET TO KNOW THEM FIRST". Don't just go nailin' every girl that you just met that first day. Date them. Go out to eat. Have fun! Then do 'em.

    College freshman. I never had a boyfriend T_T... Now, I think high school relationships are too childish. I was the ugly and awkward child from my freshman to junior year(well, kind of still am)! I know I just got out of high school, but college relationships seem a bit more reasonable than freshmen in high school thinking they know love -__-u.

    I think it's mostly for love. Don't get me wrong, you're just kidding yourself, if you think your high-school sweetheart will be the girl/guy you'll marry (Sure it happens, but it's not the norm), or even have a lengthy relationship with, but that doesn't mean you don't love them.

    Could be the one: Why not? I know people who have married as long as 18 and that are still together (+ met at the age of 15/16)

    Experience: How the hell are you going to know what you want from a relationship? I still feel slightly clueless after about 8 years of dating (im in my early 20s) so I don't know where I'd be with no experience.

    My first gf and I, we dated our sophomore year in high school, went out bc we had liked eacother for a while and knew we werent ready til high school. We loved being around eachother and we really liked eachother. I mean there is a HUGE difference between friends and dating

    My big brother started dating during high school and he married the girl after graduating. And even 5 (or 6?) years later they are still married.

    For experience and because its fun, I don't think most people are looking for 'the one' at that age anyhow

    Marriage? That's a little too serious lighten up.

    I didn't date in highschool because I was an uber nerd wanting to go to a great college. In senior year I was also my own best friend.

    But college life is better.

    There are people who end up together who are in high school. My sister she is 26 and she has been with the same guy since she was 14. They have had their ups and downs like every couple but they have 2 beautiful little girls a 5 year old and a 7 week old newborn. I think you can end up together after high school. Not a lot of people are at that maturity level but it does happen.

    @lc1988, I had the same thing with some guy I met in my freshman yr. He was a junior, though. But I liked him fo so long, and he just totally played with my mind. It took me, what seemed like FOREVER to get over him.

    I think some of them might do it just because they fall easily to puppy love, and because they might feel like they need a bf/gf, because others around their age might be filling their ears with that. Plus, they all seem to want to get a jump start on sex.

    Other times I think they might actually want to gain the experience before their 20's.

    Because they have feelings for the person they're with.

    it might not be "the one" but... hey even dating as an adult doesn't guarantee that either.

    because they arent beta nerds who rationalize their fear of women as "girls my age are all immature" and have unrealistic expectations about finding a girl who totally understands them once they go to college?
