High School Relationships..

[Zentman J]

So I'm starting to think about asking this one girl out, but I've been down a road or two in my life. I kinda realize that I'm in high school, and most of those relationships don't last. It almost makes me not wanna ask her out just because I know down the road, it'll probably end. I've had a couple rough break ups, and I don't really want that, not again, so I've been holding back on her.
So I guess I just need some advice about the whole situation...What's a Sophomore in High School supposed to do when they don't want a broken heart in the end, but they also want to be with someone at the same time.

It is true that many relationships made in high school do not last until later in life. It is true that, seeing as they may not last, you may encounter heartbreak. Heartbreak it tough; no one wants it. But that's not an excuse to avoid relationships just because they might not last forever. What's important about relationships is that they aren't really about longevity, but about what we learn and experience while we are in them. But playing it safe and not getting into any relationships, you could be passing up the experience to get to know people and care about them in ways that are truly special, and to learn a little more about yourself and the way the world works in the process. So take a chance; go ahead and ask her out. You don't have to jump in with two feet, you can still be cautious, but allow yourself the opportunity to open up to her and open up to the idea of experiencing an intimate connection with someone without worrying when it's going to end.

If you want to be with her but don't want a broken heart, you have to put on a brave face and hope that whatever happens in the relationship will be worth the outcome. It's true that most relationships don't last, but that doesn't stop people from learning, and for all you know there are things that you could learn from her.

I think that you should go for it, or if you really don't want the "heartbreak" that typically comes at the end of a relationship, just become closer to her as a friend. However, I do think that sometimes you just have to go for things and let every thing else fall into place.

These make sense...I'm gonna be getting out of my comfort zone, but I guess that's a good thing..we'll see how this goes. *Fingers Crossed*

Sometimes getting out of your comfort zone is a good thing for sure (:

Good luck (:
