Romance and young kids

[Horatio Nelson]

I notice a lot on this forum where you'll see 12-13 year olds talking about being "in love" and having boyfriends/girlfriends. I'm going to turn 16 in less than a week, and girls have just recently become a "thing". Is this just a few instances, or am I really that sheltered?

Those 12 and 13 year olds are probably just experimenting. Those relationships never last untill marriage.
Girls became a thing for me at the age of 12 or something, so I'd say 16 seems a little late, but not late enough to worry about.

Different people have different love lives. You can't say those youngsters are only infatuated or only experimenting. You also can't say that OP is 'sheltered'.

I am one of those little kids as you called us, sometimes we think it's love what we feel but it's nothing more than a crush, I just learned a leasson in a bad way, it's good having feelings about someone and it feels good when that someone feels the same about us, but there is a time for everything and "our" time now is for enjoy life, family, friends, games and even school

different stuff happens for different people at different ages.

Ezra put it nicely. Granted, the majority of relationships started at such a young age won't last, but there are instances where they will. It just depends on the people involved.

I wouldn't say you're sheltered at all, OP.

I know how you feel. I'm always reading about 13 year old kids on this forum having sex and I haven't even held a guys hand yet. :/

Though, a lot of them are probably lying.

That could be. i tend to believe stuff posted unless it sounds ridiculous, which encouraged me to say more about things then maybe i should have. i figured it was more common for 2 boys who were already buddies. mainly we're just good friends and he looks after me at school and stuff. that what's most important to me, the buddy he's been for 5 years. But have no idea how long that will last. things change, there's high school and college and ppl move. I figure i'll probably end up single in some care facility, like some of my grown up friends on my autism forum who have my kind of autism.

Yeah, I wasn't doubting you though. Just the kids who brag about stuff with horribly unsubtle questions like "Is it normal to have an 11 inch penis at 13 years old?" and the like. Rofl.

lmfaoo im 18 and still dont care about girls like i have a lot of close friends that are girls and ill have fun with ones i meet you know but am not going to be getting a gf anytime soon ill rather do my hobbies and then when im older and things get more serious then ill jump into it

[Lost in the Echo]

Yeah, I've always felt the same way. I've never understood why people so young try so damn hard to be in a relationship. It's like they feel insignificant just because of the fact they're not with someone.
I'm like damn, life is long and there are a lot of people out there, you're bound to find someone with similar personality/interests/whatever as you.
It seems people kinda force themselves into relationships, rather than waiting for the right person to come along, just for sake of being able to say they have a bf/gf, and they're not alone. Really though, there's nothing wrong with staying single. Love/romance is very overrated unless it's actually real.

Just my thoughts on this.

yeah i don't think i've posted anything that could be considered bragging, my legs are barely longer than 11" lol. But like one guy read something i posted and said something like "so you're 13 and already in a relationship that's impressive". And it's not like that at all. mainly we're just regular buddies. some girl asked about how we date or something like that. I'm like what dating, we just fart around.

Statically speaking, most relationships that young or even younger don't work out.

Truthfully speaking, if you always read things by statistics, you'll never get anywhere.

I've known my boyfriend since I was 13. And I thought I was in love with him then. And guess what? I still think that.

This my thoughts exactly.

It depends on the people in the relationship. My girlfriend is 13 but it seems pretty clear that she truly has strong feelings for me, and that I feel the same way about her. It just depends
