too many good points from Outrider's post to quote. +1 to all of them. young teen dating, when you start out is messy and i think, nothing like a older, mature relationship but that doesn't mean it's (always) a waste of time. i mean, i learned a whooooooooole crapton during my limerent years in HS, what signals to perceive, etc...thing is, she was "a bit" crazy and unpredictable, and that whole thing left me with a mover's truck full of baggage. not the best example but that doesn't mean i regret it. she was not a soulmate as i had thought (oh deluded me) a lesson with dead green hair.
wuohh!
no doubt you can get badly hurt as a teenager, though. just because you have the rest of your life ahead of you doesn't mean you should be careless under the guise of experimenting or testing the waters. though guess i sould lake captain obvious here.

I never understood why anyone likes 'making out' so much anyway. It's more of an aquired taste for us aspies, I think.
I'd prefer a soft, romantic and gentle kiss with a female I love than just sloppy making out.
my first (and only, really) lip kiss was with a buzzed person i didn't know. i got kidded on the cheek once when i was 14, again by someone i don't know. much preferred the latter.
