Excuse you.
When I was younger- and mind you, this was only three or so years ago- I took love as a joke. When I was nine, I was usually saying things such as "Oh hey that guy is pretty I'm pretty I'mma ask him to go on a date during recess!" or "OMG I WANT SOMEONE TO BUY ME PLASTIC RINGS HEY COME DATE ME!" That continued on until November 20th, 2012- or rather, when I had barely turned 11. Not too far from being ten years old.
I realized that it wasn't just a game. It wasn't a contest of who got a boyfriend/girlfriend first or who had the hotter man/woman. It was about having a serious relationship. It was about finding someone who cared, and someone you could care for. It didn't matter who it was, but it should be someone you're totally happy with. And I happened to be on this site. I've had two online relationships with the same sex and I'm only 12.
Both of these relationships showed me that I shouldn't toy with love. And that online relationships aren't as bad as people take them to be. I learned to love someone for their personalities, not for their gender or appearances.
Age is just a number. Hell, my mom said that I acted like a teenager when I turned 10. It wasn't because of my age, oh no. I had the maturity of a teenager and I acted like I was way above my age. I'll agree that breakups at this age SUCKS because it f---ing wrecks your heart. But it's not like I didn't get over it (twice). I'm in Honors Academy for crying out loud. I rarely pay attention. But I still pass by with B's. Being a certain age has nothing to do with whether or not you can have a relationship. It's how you act. It's what you know you'll do if your heart gets crushed. Not your age. -
Remember when I said there was two parts to me? Yeah, well. I do agree with you. I also think that romantic feelings can be beneficial, and they can help personal growth. I guess it's from my experience that they're not a good idea, but I've been rejected so many times. For other people, it's different. I just have a certain trauma about dating. If it works out for you and you don't suffer from my post-rejection trauma, more power to ya. It's not my place to judge, but in my opinion they're not the smartest idea.

Just call me Miss Independent. :D

Well I'm sorry to hear about that, Sara, and it's completely up to you whether you date or not but please don't tell other people that they can't.
And I would know because the worst experience of my life was caused by romantic feelings for someone. It was the only time I've ever self-harmed. But now I'm with someone I love and want to be with forever so it's worth it.
I don't even... What you do is up to you but don't tell other people it's not "smart" of them to date. -
You wanna hear why I despise romantic relationships so much?
I guess so. I'm a pessimist realist combination so. I can never see the bright side of anything.
I never said it wasn't. I said they were unnessecary, avoidable and terrible. -
Why hate and debate, when you could just indulge in ice cream and not give a damn. :D

Sure?

Haha you've just gotten yourself into THIS conversation.
Last year, me and this dude were both depressed. We both got a lot of detentions, we both had a bit of a temper. Okay? So we were friends. I liked him. We both got each other out of depression and self harm. And he found out I liked him. f---ing. Land. Slide. I was rejected, dubbed a crazy freak, and a pervert for no reason. We ended the year as friends, though. Now, recently, I saw him while rollerskating. I asked him, "Hey, do you think I'm crazy?"
"Only a lot." He responded.
"Who's this?" (I had my friend with me and he asked.)
"My friend."
"Oh...she likes me." He pointed to me.
"No I don't!" Of coarse I defended.
"Oh you got yourself a cute crush" (my friend)
"Oh, look at her blush!" Him.
And hes been an overall jerk to me, plus he was dating the person I hate. It hurts to know the person who dragged you up from the bottom seemingly hates you. -
I'm sorry to hear that, Sara...
-
Sara: Watch out, we have a cynic over here.
-
That's a really stupid story in afterthought but..Still. I thought he was a friend. I thought he was supportive. Apparently not.
-
It's not stupid.. I understand how you feel
-
So basically my lesson learned was
STAY AWAY FROM RELATIONSHIPS
THEY 10/10 OF THE TIME CAUSE HARM
From my experience anyways -
Sorry but UnLoving, you can't really say you know you want to be with him for the rest of your life - you're both about 14 and have never even met in real life. Its not I don't believe in internet relationships but you can't make a claim like that when you haven't even met yet.
-
Hm. I understand. I feel differently about romantic relationships tho. I mean, I'm in one right now and it's worth all the s--- other ones have previously put me through so yee
