Am I alone?

[Horatio Nelson]

I kinda wish I had a girlfriend, but then I imagine if I did she would consume my life and take my focus away from important things. (Like school)

Does that sound extreme?

The only thing I would be unsure about is my parents. And, if I were to have a girlfriend, it wouldn't be just to have one. I'd be looking for a life partner, which is why I should probably wait until I'm at least 18.

And that was my 2 cents on girlfriends!!

Well if that's what you feel, then don't do it. But don't try to think about what could go wrong with it. Because how would you know if you never tried?

[Lonely teen]

Me I would cherish all moments cause you never know what could happen the next day.

( Woo Hoo 250 posts!!! )

Nobody is alone because loneliness is always with us.. Well there are some little bit up an down in out life but we have to face them.. so be strong you are not alone, just try to think positive..

Never hurts to wait until older and smarter, but don't beat away with a stick someone special who might come along.

It doesn't sound extreme, and it is understandable. Maybe you think of it that way because you've never had one, but I guess it's only a matter of knowing how to manage your time.

I think like that too before I enter high school. But then I fell for this dumb ass and got tangled in a stressful unhealthy relationship for seven freaking months :) but you know what? after that, that "I want to have a partner" feeling don't bother me no more. Plus whenever a close friend asks for dating advice, I can now give real advice based on a real situation. I think people should date at least once during their high school years. Just so you know what does it feel like to be in love. With experience, you'd know better the next time you're in a more serious relationship

That made sense. Thank you.

I think I'm also in this position. I wouldn't want a boyfriend/girlfriend to slow down my progress on RuneScape as being in the top 370 for the skill I am in is quite hard and took a lot of work and good speed I don't want being disrupted, luckily my parents and brother understand that :)

This. I don't know how to feel in my case though. I think we are in a relationship but definitely not a secure one and that's better for me and probably her too... it's just something that's happened from spending too much time with eachother, no other factors are included and "for the record" I've told her I don't want to sit opposite her as that way I would be seeing her face, it just makes me laugh. I prefer the kind of friendship where you get along with eachother enough to always take the piss out of eachother whenever convenient and necessary, but a serious relationship means... being serious, although at our age none of them seem to be too serious :D

It's better to be close friends with someone and leave it at that in my opinion, because I think as soon as you actually declare you're in a relationship that's when these problems (if you consider them as problems which I would) can start to happen.

I don't think people should go out looking for a relationship, I tend to just live life as it comes if I meet someone then I meet someone. Personally I don't want a serious relationship for entirely different reasons, I don't want to be committed at the moment I like just having fun.
But not wanting a relationship doesn't mean you're alone. But also I wouldn't go through life saying you don't want a relationship because it'll take up too much time, you don't know till you try. And if you automatically deny everyone then you might miss someone pretty great.

I'd go for it yolo right? haha

You're just thinking too much bud.

Having a girlfriend while you're in school isn't a necessity,so don't go around searching high and low for it. It's more of a "if it happens,it happens". Chances are you aren't going to find "the one" in your teenage years,because you'll constantly be meeting new people. Just keep yourself open,don't dwell too much on relationships,and always focus on yourself first.

I'm not out "girlfriend hunting" that's not what I meant.

I meant more of circumstantial situation.

[CheekyBird]

I know what you mean as I would like a boyfriend for someone to spend time with, be able to talk to them about my life/problems and to have cuddles and stuff... but at the same time I have school and work and my free time is spent doing other school work. With the only time I have free really when I go to concerts or even. And I don't want that to suffer.

It's just about finding someone who will be there for you but still allow you to get on with your own life and always be there behind you...

Hit it on the head. That's exactly how I feel. (I have a problem using words well, lol.)

Well I'm 17, I've never been kissed or been in a relationship. As much as I would like to be my future is the most important thing right now. With School and Work taking over most of my time, I would rather wait and find someone in the future when I maybe have more time or my life is more organised... than be in a relationship now where I hardly see the person and feel like I am a rubbish girlfriend as I cannot concentrate on them.

I just always think about how I don't want my first relationship to be rubbish and full of bad memories as I was too busy trying to make sure I can have the best future possible. :)

[darkangel91]

I think it's more important to wait for that one special person and be with them for life than to just get a partner because you're lonely. Try to find one who shares your interests so you can spend time together instead of dividing your time. And take it slow and wait until you're sure you want to be with them forever before you do anything major. That's my advice. :)

[laurakitty]

Ur still young have fun before wanting a life partner n u cant expect someone to be ur life partner by just asking them ur gonna have to take it easy n get to kno each other first

I think you're the smart one.

If you genuinly think it'll do more harm than good - don't. If you're not ready to sacrfice school, and see no benefit or enjoyment in having a gf, why would you have one?
(apologies if the latter sentence sounded mildly offensive, it wasn't my intention)
