I am so glad I never dated in high school. The reason is that you are still trying to figure out who you are as a person. Dating and being in "love" is so emotional and at that age you are already just a bunch of emotions, period. What I'm saying is it makes it doubly intense. I feel for people who are young and are already dating and dealing with the intricacies of a relationship, when what they should be focusing on are their studies. I grew up from an old school of thought, and now I really appreciated my parents when they told me to put off dating (acuatlly, they prohibited dating) while in school. I didn't even date in college. I guess I was just naturally a nerd, and thank goodness for that because I am such a sensitive person..It would have been hell to mix school and dating/guys. Also a relationship is complex enough, and when you put other people (i.e., girls) in the mix, jealousies then that is just too much. It's really something you do not need, if you want to be in a healthy relationship. Trust is the foundation of any relationship, and you don't want to be on shaky ground.
