Didn't go on 'official' dates til I was 15 myself. Just keep in mind that most guys are after one thing in the teenage years. Yup you guessed it.....Cars! ;)

I see... I don't know why I'm so interested in having a relationship. :?


It's likely a hormonal impulse to desire a relationship, that's why it's not ideal to seek for a serious relationship at a young age. Since your body is producing hormonal reactions which can potentially cloud judgment, you are unlikely to have absolutely certainty of who you want to be with (or you do, but you feel you are too rushed). It various per individual basis actually because maturity happens at different rates in different people. In my honest opinion, serious relationships formed under the age of 18 are either unstable or unsustainable and have a extremely high chance of failure. The reason why is due to various social and hormonal factors making your mind feel in genuine love, when in fact it's a hormonal impulse and infatuation. It's hard to tell actually which is which.

All I can suggest is that, do not seek for a serious relationship yet and only focus on seeking a relationship that's much like a normal friendships with people you're interested in. After doing so, gradually over a course of several months or longer, see who is most ideal to you and then proceed from there. The reason why it's an awful idea to rush at such a young age is because, you are likely to keep getting your heart broken or worse, end up in a bad relationship with someone. I know seeking friendship is hard, but I'm just stating some advice for what your thread is about.

Hope this helps in any way and good luck :)

Is 15 too young to have a relationship? Some people say it is, but why? There'd be heaps of NT girls my age with boyfriends, but people say I'm too young. I don't understand why though.

Simple. Prehistoric ageist attitudes. So long as your sensible about it, theres no problem.

You have to question whether the full capacity and understandings are there though. Four ONLINE relationships barely transfer over to the real world. Plus, too young for love and too young for a relationship are entirely different matters.

Yeh, but that doesnt translate to how old you are.

But more often than not the time you have spent on this earth translates to greater knowledge and experience. Sometimes it's safer to play the percentages, especially with children.

15 is I'd say too young, especially for one with AS. Dating requires a degree of emotional maturity and the ability to let go (for the relationship will most likely end sooner or later), and these aren't things a person usually learns until later in age. I'm 20 and I still have trouble with stuff like this (of course, I also hate my pathological shyness).

Come on, if your not mature enough to date by 15, your not ever likely to be.

You could try making more online friends first (male and female) and if one of your male friends develops more of an interest in you, take it from there. They are less likely to betray you if you are already friends rather than strangers.

Personally, I dont see the point in actually goin looking for a relationship just for the sake of having a relationship, when I find someone I like its purely by chance. But then, a lot of people do seem to think of being in a relationship as intrinsically good, so... yeh, its pretty subjective I suppose. What Robert said.

Adolescence works differently for everyone; some people mature in a lot of ways and become miniature adults, while some (me) epitomized chaos incarnate. I'm 20 and I have difficulty with a lot of stuff such as realizing my feelings for others, coping with jealousy (I take it out on myself), etc.
