So I’m 17, and a senior in hs and I had a girlfriend for like a month last year, but that’s legit the extent to my dating experience. I mean maybe it’s because I haven’t dated much, and tbh most girls my age only like the guys who are convicted felons anyway, but I’ve realized that dating at this age is so overrated. Like I agree it can give people experience for the future and how to approach girls, but rly? I mean most relationships in hs are toxic, or don’t last long at all. The few like .1% who actually marry their girlfriends from hs are the exception, but why do we make it such a necessity at this age? Like I have a few friends who have girlfriends right now and they’re like “oh I’m so happy I’m not single, and it must suck to still be. Plus me and my girlfriend love each other to death blah blah” And yet I’m over here being single, and I’m just fine. Like doesn’t it make complete sense to just seriously date after we graduate? Like I’m sry, but i don’t want to date in hs, AND have a kid in the process. Like cmon.
