Why Should you date in high school.

[ronymajani]

Basically the title says it all but in details:
What's the point on dating in high school??? Like what do you gain and this is a question for both male and female (gals and guys) and answer this question by putting "true love aside" meaning relationships in which both sides are not truely in love like the guy and girl love each other or like each other etc....

hi(: dating in high school might seem pointless, and i understand where you're coming from. high school is a about finding your place and figuring out who you are and what you want your life to be like.. dating is a big part of that!

It's good practice. High school is the only time where you can get away with being fumbling and awkward in relationships, so by learning the ropes there, you save yourself a lot of trouble later.

Hey! Dating in high school is actually a big role in growing up and also helps with maturity actually! Yes, that may sound stupid or wrong, but its not. Many high school students date because it'll give them a picture of what dating is like in reality, especially if you have a job or lots of schoolwork. And it helps with their social life. If you want a larger and better answer, please message me anytime. I'll be glad to help(:

Well, it gives you experience, and who knows, you could find that one person you wanna spend your whole life with. My moms cousins met in high school. Maybe 20 years later? They're still together! And if you don't wanna date in high school that's fine too, you don't have to.

For me, it was about finding out who I was and what I wanted in a guy/girl in a potential relationship. I figured out what I like and what I don't like and I use those experiences today to fufill my needs and my wants.

It is good practice, and along with that it helps you figure out what kind of person you work well with.

People keep taking my answers.
but pretty much you learn what you like in a person at an early age so you dont have to when you get older.

I dated in high school because I wanted too.
It was good practice, and I've now been in a serious relationship for 3 years, and with the practice I got with dating high school has led me to be the girlfriend I am today.
Dating in high school might seem pointless, but it's all about the experience.

[ronymajani]

your right zelephobia and everyone else it's mainly the experience.

I can see both sides in this:

If you date in high school you build up your experiance, your confidence, and you build greater and better relationships.


If you dont date in high school, I dont see any major problem with it. Sometimes its due to a lack of maturity, other times its due to just not wanting to.

I think either way is fine, and either way if normal and okay to do.

Dating in high school really helped show how a relationship works. Most cases are that a high school relationship won't last - of course some last - so it is definitely good to know what happens while dating. It is good practice because it shows you the do's, the dont's, and everything there is to know about dating. It is basically testing the waters so you find what you like, what you dislike, etc.

Basically...it really helped me for when I wanted to be in a serious relationship--I knew how things worked, I learned from past experiences, and I at least got to have fun in high school where dating wasn't as serious.

Cheaper than a Hooker.

Oh and because it helps you develop interpersonal skills, that can help you later in life.

Did I mention it's cheaper than a hooker?

[TakeTheLeap]

My whole thought about dating in high school is because teenagers are really working on figuring out who they are. The experiences you have in dating (the mistakes you make, the break-ups, the amazing moments) all help shape who you are or help you to discover who you are.
I was never one to go on dates for fun, mostly because I knew who I was and what I wanted in a boyfriend. Yes, I still learned things about myself throughout the relationship, but I already had a good idea of who I was. A lot of high schoolers don't have that same luxury (there's not a problem with that, by the way) so dating is a time to "test the water" so to speak.

It's also best to make mistakes early on so when you're an adult it's easier to make the right choices and you've already learned quite a bit.

[FillingWithHope]

As everybody else as said. It gives you experiences and chances to find out which type of person you get along best with and which ones you shouldn't go near. They let you make mistakes which triggers your brain into not making the same mistakes again and helping you develop healthy long lasting realtionships. you don't have to date in high school if you don't want to, its not a graduation requirenment but if you feel comfortable and want to then go ahead and try it, but if not its not the end of the world. So Good Luck!

Id give anything for a girlfriend, I just need someone to make me feel better...

In high school, you're experiencing a lot of things for the first time. You're having your first kiss, or maybe your first time. You're learning how to drive and you're finally understanding that the boys and girls you've grown up with are in fact multi-faceted creatures, with the same hopes and dreams that you have. Everything seems to have a different flavour and colors are brighter.

When you're dating someone in high school, it's like you're improvising an entire play in front of an audience of a thousand people. It's awkward, and you're fumbling, and most of the time you dont' know the right thing to say or do. But for that one (or few) moments when you get it right--when her face lights up with that smile, or when he surprises you with flowers on your two month anniversary, because it's special to you guys if not to the rest of the world--it's a perfectly imperfect part of life that you'll probably remember for a long time.
