Relationships

[Zunawe]

There's nothing wrong with dating in high school. I would say middle school is too early, but beyond that, dating is about figuring out what you want. While it's a bad idea to go into a relationship expecting it to end, that doesn't mean every relationship should be leading toward long-term stuff.

I mean yeah, don't feel like you have to date in high school. At the same time don't throw away any oppurtunities just because "I'm waiting till college."

Should I get a grindr y/n? My gay friend suggested it and I really want to but it kind of scares me and goes against my original plan of grin and bear it until I move somewhere with more gay folk.

I'll be willing to take opportunities, but I'll try not to be desperate. Some of my friends have really been that way. Now, nearly all of my friends are involved in relationships, and my best friend will barely tell me any details about his.

I've had three crushes in my life time:

1. 3rd-8th. A girl I liked because she was pretty. She's very athletic today, and doesn't seem to be interested in video games
2. 8th-10th. A girl I liked because she was pretty, smart, funny, shared some of my interests, and was talented. She rejected me because she wasn't ready to date, and thought I obsessed over video games too much. She's alone to this day, and reads her novels and pops in her earbuds whenever she can.
3. August-November 2016. A girl I liked because she was pretty, quiet, and lonely. She rejected me because she just broke up with her boyfriend from Missouri, and then got a new one 3 weeks after I was rejected. She missed 4 months of school, and recently got back. Her life is a mess; she has moved 13 times, because of her messed-up family situations. She also has tons of siblings to look after, and abusive parents to avoid.

Also, I should get a job before I date anyone. Those movies dug right into my life savings.

so?

this is the second time now you've indicated that you have to have whatever in common with someone in order to date. while yes it does help the long term stability of a relationship (generally speaking), 1) you dont need to care about that if youre still in high school like, at all, and 2) does it really matter that much

smh all y'all got no idea how to do relationships right lmao

[AmpharosAndy]

A relationship with somebody athletic is always a positive. Even if they suck, the battle to be the fitter one oft turns you into a sexy man-beast (such as myself - I mean just look at those flippers).

[LeviR.star]

I mean, being athletic is good, but wouldn't it make me look awfully pathetic if I wasn't? I don't live the healthiest lifestyle.

[LeviR.star]

Please don't get me wrong, I have NOTHING against athletic people.

some of my best friends are athletes

That proves you can't hate athletes

I'm not athletist, but I'd never date an athlete

[braix]

I don't plan on dating until college for practical reasons and haven't had a crush on anybody for a couple years now. I won't go out of my way to ask somebody out but if they approach me first and I'm somewhat interested I might go for it? I hope nobody does, though.

[mikey]

I think I've had a crush on the cutest girl ever since I went to prom with her

[SlowPokemon]

That proves you can't hate athletes

I'm not athletist, but I'd never date an athlete

I'm really thankful you share my sense of humor I thought it would go unnoticed

[LeviR.star]

Again, not hating on athletes. Please understand this.

oh my god
