My goodness, how I tire of this silliness. I'm not against serious relationships in high school, but come on, people! Girls, stop dressing like sluts and then complaining that guys never seem to take you seriously. Yeah, yeah, it's your body, i get that. But it's their eyes and minds that suffer when you do that. Guys, stop taking advantage of the girls who flirt for their lives. Yeah, i realize it's hard. The way they dress is completely at odds with what they might say with their words. In a battle of boobs or boundaries, boobs win.
ARGH! It's so stupid. I see so many people get into serious relationships before they're ready, and all they get in return is a broken heart. To fix this, they go to ANOTHER person who's not ready for a serious relationship, and both parties get their hearts broken AGAIN.
If people are ready, this isn't a big deal. I don't mean 'ready' in the "i'm ready to have sex with you" ready, i mean it in the "i understand how fragile and important your heart is, and i'm willing to respect that, whatever it means" way.
Personally, i'd LOVE to be in a relationship with somebody. A person i can go to when i need to get away from the nonsense of girls, and just enjoy the straight-forwardness of a guy? i'd love to experience that. But I know i'm not ready. true, that pisses me off to no end, but i'll live with it.
it's just this game girls play with guys that really makes me mad. i can excuse guys to a point-- they're made to be visually simulated, and their sexual peak is from like, 15 to 25. plus, part of them being jerky is girls playing games and being hurt by them. But GIRLS... you know what you're doing, and you do it anyways! and when you get burned by the outcomes of your games, you act all confused.
Grow up. This is just rediculous.

I know exactly what you mean. I can't stand how hypocritical and shallow some of the girls in my school are. They all talk about how they want to wait for the "perfect guy"-- you know, funny, smart, respectful, etc.-- and yet it seems as though they're with a new guy each time you see them. They say how they want to be taken seriously and be respected, but then they dress in micro-skirts and embarrassingly low-cut tops that are practically begging guys to hook up with them. I don't see how they can have so little respect for themselves or the guys they fish for. Their entire high-school experience is an endless cycle of new guy, break-up, heart-break, then new guy. I pity them, for they're focusing on entirely the wrong things. Call me prude, old-fashioned, and cold-hearted, but at least I have some sense of morality and self-respect, not to mention the fact that I'm not making a mess of my life before it's even begun.
This is so true. Thanks for your perspective. On this subject I recommend I Kissed Dating Goodbye by Joshua Harris.
Well, it's true except for the guys are jerks part. :-)
