When did you become interested in dating?

Post Reply New Topic

I thought girls were annoying and I avoided them until the age of 15, at which time I had my first crush. It was confusing for me because I had never had a desire that another person had to satisfy for me before (the fact that my parents bought food for me and gave me a place to live was sufficiently detached in my mind from enjoying food and shelter that it did not feel like anyone was providing those things for me). I still avoid most girls because I still think most of them are annoying, but this is frustrating for me because I have desires now that require a female body to satisfy.

"drama packs"... I love it. That should be the collective noun for teen girls on that type. "I was followed home by a drama of girls... it was awful!"



Don't worry about it... 13 isn't a crucial age for something to develop - the hormonal change is hard enough! One doesn't need to thrust girlfriends or homosexuality into his face!

When someone nice comes along, some romance may spark - and it'll probably be much healthier than just being infatuated with the prettiest girl in his class!


Me? I had a boyish crush on the same girl from almost kindergarten until grade 6 where her snotty attitude started to revolt me - that attraction turned to a friendly brunette who really became my feminine ideal... well... for life!

Don't worry about him. I was the same way up to about 16. But that interest was different than just being interested in dating, in a general sense. It wasn't the activity itself that interested me, but a girl I met. (I never did date her, by the way.) I think it really depends on the person, but I wonder if, for your son, it will be more dependent upon meeting a girl rather than wanting to date. Now, when that will be, one couldn't know - though I have a feeling it will probably be when he's older.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, jjacmom, that your son might still [ahem] have the same hormones as his friends, though he might not want to date. Just thought I should add that in.

When my older brothers started talking about women and their "magical girly bits".

It depends, what genre's of books/films/tv-shows does he generally enjoy/what's his reading age, and what do you regard as 'acceptable content'?

Lol, I think I'm going to adopt that myself and try to force it into popular usage.

Had "crushes" on both genders beginning at 6 or 7. Got sexually attracted to mostly guys (and the odd girl) starting at the age of 12.

As for dating...was never really interested until I met my current boyfriend. He is the only person that things have ever felt right with to the point where I don't want to be with anyone else.

I have been in two relationships before, but both of them didn't last long and didn't feel right. During these times, I wanted to see other people and tried to stick with them as I thought I was happy with them, but I wasn't.

Not yet, I'm only 28. I suspect it might happen around 40 or so

i also dont see the appeal of dating yet, at 25; although i do feel i 'should' get a girlfriend; it gets lonely sometimes.
i started getting interested in the female form, purely aestetic, at around 17 or 18; and got interested in having a relationship at 22.
my first crush, however, is only starting to shop up now, i think, i never had one before so i dont know what to think really.

While I did have a friend I really liked around 3-5, I didn't really start to have attraction towards girls until I was 11. As far as dating goes, I don't think I ever will be. I just don't see why jumping through hoops and lying to other people in order to impress them should be necessary, nor is it a good way to build any kind of decent relationship.
