15 too young for love?

Post Reply New Topic

RedMage, I know I said you were young, but in one respect, I meant you were too young to give up on a relationship. Make sure that your relationship develops, if you have one. Make sure that differences are worked out amicably, rather than by raised voices and concussion therapy. I myself have not been in a real relationship since 13 or 14, and that broke up because I and my, well, for want of a better word, "girlfriend" broke up because we disagreed on environmental issues. She was a leetle* extreme, advocating vacating a country full of people to allow animals to live there. I have seen relationships come and go, and they say the onlooker sees most of the game. So I should offer these points of advice:

1. Be careful who you date. There are people who can take advantage of you. I'm not just talking about rapists, but also about controlling narcisstic personalities. I should know. My dad is one.

2. Make sure to keep up an open dialogue, so you and your boyfriend can deal with any problems.

3. If you and your boyfriend get to that certain stage, remember to use protection.

*I use the misspelling of "little" as "leetle" as a deliberate device to show irony.

Thanks for the advice guys. To be honest, I don't need a boyfriend. I've got better things to worry about anyway, like passing the Prince of Persia games I got.

Beware the Dahaka my child!

Fifteeen is WAY too young to start worrying about stuff like that.

I wish I could have had gotten some experience at that age. The high school I was at was about 70% male, so only the most attractive members of each sex actually had relationships or dated. There were a lot of decent looking "NT" males there who never even dated by the time we graduated. It was terrible, I would not wish the situation upon even my worst of enemies. Anyway, don't let youth slip away.

15, Probably a little early for the serious stuff.
16, I'd say the starting year for serious dating.
17, Keep lookin!

I'm currently 15 myself, turning 16 next year. But majority of my friends already have girlfriends/boyfriends, so it's really hard to say. It's definitely a time where you have a great chance because you are forced to be in classrooms together, so it removes quite a lot of the awkwardness that aspies feel. Plus, as long as you have a mature mind to the situation, it really does show that love is in the air.

I say whenever you have serious romantic feelings about someones an ok time to start dating seriously.

My thoughts are don't focus on an end result when you need to do the first steps. Try being friends first with whomever you are intgerested in. If you can't be friends then how can you have a relationship? I know it is difficult to make friends but you just have to figure it out. When I was in 7th or 8th grade I even read books at the library about dating, which were totally unhelpful and written by people who obviously had never dated and didn't know how to write, as I hadn't a clue as to how to go about it and was afraid of being made fun of for not knowing. My parents couldn't even explain it to me. Eventually I realized that I just needed to say hi every day to the pretty girl or boy in class and talk to them one sentence whenever I could. After a little while they would acknowledge me when they saw me and before long we would be friends. Then came the process of finding out what we both wanted to do with each other.

15's an alright age to start a relationship. As long as it's not too serious.

my husband and i started dating when I was 12 and he was 13, We got married when I was 17 and he was 18. Everyone gave us the "your too young" speech too. We're happy though.
