Bf/Gf (Page 18 of 48)

absolutely. In my opinion having a bf or gf isnt a bad or good thing. a relationship just like everything else is measured differently by the quality and the people involved. im in one and i enjoy it very much. but if i wasnt then i would be happy being single as well.

Well, considering I was born and raised in the U.S, I may already be one of those "the evil many who live in the decadent West."

Not all Americans support Bush.  I was, however one that did. (Keyword, was.)

That's too bad. Goodbye for now.

As for me, never been on a date, never had a boyrfriend, and only ever had a crush once, and that was when I was 12.  No regrets pal, no regrets.  I'm not actually allowed to date till I'm 16 (bout a year to go on that), but even if it was allowed, I wouldn't.  Highschool freshmen are waaaaaaaaay, to young to be dating.

As for what us girls like, DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, DANCE.  Most boys just seem to have an issue with actually asking us to though.  Come on ya'll, get some guts!

As for how I feel, I haven't really liked anyone that way, and if I have, I squashed it.  Lets just wait till we get a chance to know them first, be friends, and learn more about them that way.  Crushes just make everything messy.  You can't even hardly talk to whoever-it-is, just cuz your too embarassed to hardly say a word.  So I got over it. End of story.  And not heartbreak, no misery, no guilt, and no regret.   Yay for not-obsessing-over-getting-a-boyfriend-just-cuz-it-seems-like-everyone-has-one-even-though-most-people-don't.

And BTW, I completely agree with you, 11 is waaaaaaaaaaaaay to young to have a boyfriend.

Chivalry vs Feminism. Some guys are afraid to ask girls to dance, but why can't a girl ask the guy? All I hear nowadays is "girls should have equal oppertunities" "Women can do everything men can" "Men are chauvanist pigs" (Not as popular but heard)

And yet those same women expect the man to automatically pay for the meal. To hold the door for them. (I know I'm sorta blowin it out of proportion, but it's true.) I just think that women should either accept equality everywhere.

And this isn't based on everyone, because I do know some girls who go dutch. I also know my friend's g/f accepts everything he needs because he does the same for her.

I remember when my Ex GF asked me to a dance. I thought it was pretty cool.
But strangly, when I broke up with her......She went to ARC.....Talk about strang....

18 pages of this. Wow thats alot of people.

Very true SD_Chick.  We are our own persons.  However, we are also human beings which is naturally a social being.  So it's only natural to feel lonely at times.  But what makes you feel good in the end is what's important for your well being.

  I haven't had a girlfriend now for a long time.  At times I feel pretty lonely, not having someone I can sit and talk with, or cuddle up on the sofa and watch a movie with.  But hey, this is the course that I chose, and when it comes down to it, I'm pretty happy.

  Sometimes, having a mate isn't really what it's made up to be.  It can be a pain, and it can be very hurtful.  I remember when I was younger, I didn't understand why people had girlfriends.  I thought to myself "They are only going to break up again, there never getting married so why not wait?"  I suppose I thought that your only bringing pain to yourself every time you hook up with someone and breaking up with them a short time later.  I never understood really.

  And I remember my first girlfriend, Kathryn.  Cute girl.  Very sweet.  But I remember in a little love note I had gotten, it said "I can't wait for all the fun times we will have this year."  It sorta hit me, that she had no intention of being with me for longer then a year.  I found that a waste of time and broke it off.  If you are going to put a time limit on such matters, then what is the use?

  And every time I get with a girl, it usually ends up with heartbreak on my side.  I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I suppose I "fall in love" too fast, too soon. 

  But oh well, some things aren't meant for some people.

I agree. If it won't last, if there's no future in it, then what's the point of getting attached to someone?

We're naturally social beings?!? Wow, this is news to me!
(if you ever meet me in person you will realize there are exceptions   )

You can't really put an age on it because each person matures at his or her own rate.  But there are some requirements in my mind.  You got to be able to drive.  It would kind of seem lame to have your parents drive you everywhere with your girlfriend.  And you have to be in a position where you are capable of supporting you gf/ bf as well as youself.  Having a girlfriend or boyfriend is expensive, trust me I have friends who are proof, one has a nice ZO6 that he recently put new headers on, and he doesn't have a girlfriend.  And his brother has a little 4 cylinder Honda that almost no money has been put into, and he has a girlfriend.

Back to the age question it really depends on the person (and of course the parents).  If you have been allowed to date it all depends on you.  And if you've moved out of your house, ignore what I just said.
