I did, but I prob should not have, it was not a healthy relationship, in this case I was mainly the one who made it unhealthy, he was sweet but I was just not interested yet I didn’t break up w him until we went to different colleges. I acted bored and aloof and hoped he would break up with me but he never did so it just sort of dragged out like that.
I was the youngest person in my class in high school and girls all wanted to date older guys. Then I left high school after my junior year, so I never dated until I started college. Then, my dates were usually younger sisters of my fraternity brothers visiting our college for the weekend.
I didn't start one-on-one dating until college. In high school, i did a lot of group dating, 3 or 4 guys with 3 or 4 girls. My only one-on-one date in high school was the senior ball.
Your not dating in high school is probably not what the majority do, but it's not abnormal.
I didn't because I was really shy and something happened at 20 and I came out of my shell. I had a crush on the same girl in HS the entire time and I remember the last day of class sr. yr I was going to say something, because I think she knew anyway but I chickened out. I always regretted it.
I remember feeling completely in love based on the interactions I had with her in class a few times a year which is funny how that is when you're young. I do remember actually getting into a fight over a kid slapping her ass in the hall and when she screamed at him he laughed at her said too bad. A week later I tripped that kid in the hall and I said too bad to him lol. He tried to fight me but I slapped him so hard he ran away lol. When I went to the principals office I told him why I did it, why id do it again, and I didn't care what the punishment was. I knew I shouldn't have done that and I was wrong too but I was willing to take the punishment. The principal spoke to me separately and said so you like this girl huh and I said very much so but she doesn't know what I did and would rather it that way. I didn't do it for attention. I was 17 and he looked at me and said just stay after school one day in detention and don't hit anyone anymore lol. In 1997 you could do this I'm sure now I'd be in jail lol.
Funny enough, I barely knew her and wasn't in her circle of friends. I realize now you didn't ask for this back story but it's been a while since I thought about this and it just came out.
I did, but not much. I first dated as a freshman, then again as a senior. Nothing in between. The first one was pretty awkward. I had no idea what to do next. So I ended up ghosting her, which I always felt bad about. The second one didn't last long, but we ended up being pretty good friends until I lost track of her in my mid-20s.
I saw a picture of the first one from the 40th reunion. She has kept herself up well and still looked good. I have no idea what happened to the second one, but I bet she is still in the area. The problem with trying to look up women from the past is that they keep changing their last name.
What? 60% never dated in high school?
I'm completely shocked by that. I've never known a world where people didn't date in high school? It was completely the norm when I was in school.
Now does that mean that there was something wrong with you if you didn't date while you were in high school? Of course not. Some people just get into that phase later in their lives. It's not abnormal, it's just another normal route that some people take.
But I am shocked that 60% answer that they didn't date in high school. It's hard to believe.
Of course it might have to do with the definition of "dating." I think most people around the age of 15 start at least informal dating even if it's just "hanging out" with someone of the opposite sex.
Maybe that's where the discrepancy is here.
PS I'm still friends with a girl I dated in high school to this day. She was a year older than me and in the class before mine. It felt like it was a scandal back then! The older woman! 😮
Was to shy for that back then. There was a girl I am very confident I could have had as my girlfriend, I liked her and she seemed compatible with me. I think she'd have liked me back had I made an effort. But I just could not bring up the courage to talk to her. I have grown a lot since then.
Meh that up to you.. I don't know
Never dated in high school since I never wanted to be knocked up under age and people almost never stay together form high school so I always thought, what's the point? Also guys never paid much attention to me and I always thought I couldn't be loved, so never bothered at all.
I got together with my first girlfriend when I was 16 in my first year of high school in 10th grade. She was wonderful.
I wound up having another girlfriend later in high school. She was wonderful, too.
Both were a year or two younger than me.
I was the kid that got pantsed. My parents ignored me. Both of my sisters had been raped by the time I was in high school. They were 1 and 3 years older than me. The year 1 would show me her black book of guys she proudly admitted using for what she wanted. Year 3 would constantly shout at me about how all males are scumbags.
No I didn't date.
was 2-fold. I had someone who was into me, but I was not allowed to date. I was told "go work for your money".. While on the other coin "You must worship your books and your parents. Your education will love you and all the degrees can be made into a blanket to keep you warm at night...
I was an anti-social loner, still am yet dated in high school.
Pretty sure that's the easiest time to date as you are forced to interact, now I am no longer forced to do so and haven't had a girlfriend in a while.
I didn't plan on it because I knew I was going to join the Navy and didn't want any complications.
But then she came out of nowhere, calling me by my name, telling me she knew all about me.
My younger brother's girlfriend.
I knew I was in trouble.
I had a girlfriend for the whole of my senior year and a the last bit of my junior year as well, so yeah. I guess I'd say I was more in a relationship than that I "dated" in the sense that I wasn't going out with different girls all the time. Not sure if that's what you mean specifically or not, but I voted "yes" in your poll.
I didn’t date in high school. Apparently a lot of the guys who wanted to talk to me/ask me out were too intimidated or thought I’d say no (this is coming from a guy friend I had)
I didn't... but I did a lot of fucking in High School.
I had a boyfriend in high school, but my twin sister didn't. So I see both situations as normal.
I did date in highschool bit it is totally normal if you didn't. I know several people who waited until after highschool to date. Cause honestly, highschoolers are kinda dumb. I know cause I was a dumb highschooler
I didn't date in high school. We were bombarded with school activities, unlike now in college.
No, I didn't. I was kind of awkward back then, no one ever asked me out and my crush acted like a total jerk.
