15 too young for love?

Post Reply New Topic

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. I mean, I've had FOUR online boyfriends now...

As long as you're responsible why not?

I didn't get my first girlfriend until I was 17, but 15 is not too young.

Wicked cool.

15? Don't people (I'm generalizing here, so bear with me) begin experimentation with relationships at 12 or 13 now?

15 sounds very reasonable, at least to me.

Yeah, but since I'm an Aspie, getting a boyfriend(and friends!) is hard.

No offense, but I don't see why people bother with teenage dating (for any reason other than sex, that is). The chances of you finding the love of your life as a teenager are slim to none, so you're going to have your heart broken sooner or later. Why put yourself through that, especially at a time when you have to deal with so much other stressful crap?

I already have had my heart broken online, FOUR times.

I don't know why I want a relationship, when I can't even make friends!!

Agreed without question. My comment was based on what I've heard about being an NT in middle school and experienced being an aspie in the NT middle school setting.


Probably because of the challenge. I used to want a relationship because I saw a relationship as the highest level of social success - a challenge I wanted to see if I could obtain.

You should just wait until you find someone in real life. Of course, then comes the problem of how to approach him, especially if he already has a social life of some sort... but first things first.

Maybe you're discontented with the way your sex behaves and have an idealistic view of the opposite sex as the only people who can understand? Sometimes I have a chain of reasoning that leads to that conclusion... whether it's the truth or not, though, is up for decision.

I don't even know any guys in real life, so that makes it even harder.

being too young has a lot to do with emotional age as well.

What do you mean?

My first reaction is, if you have to ask, then you're not ready. On the other hand, it's not like love is going to kill you, and maybe if you find someone whom you can relate to and be intimate with and trust, then it will help you develop socially. But be careful, you may have many misconceptions about what relationships entail, as I did at that age. And just as good sex can be really good, bad sex can be really bad.

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

I don't even have friends...

Nothing wrong (hell might even be right) with having a relationship when you're 15. Don't be trying too rush into love though.

I don't recall knowing anyone who was actually "in love" at 15. Most people just kind of "go out" at that age i think.

Of course though everyone is different.

I haven't even dated yet. XD

I think most girls my age date. Then, of course, they get preagnant.
