It is better to get Friendzoned with someone then have them dislike you forever cause you tried to date them too fast...

I don't know, the friendzone can be quite terrible at times.

Once again, no one's going to dislike you forever because of anything as a teenager. It might feel like it at first, but once you both grow up you'll realize how irrelevant all your relationships at this age are.

Exceptions would be traumatic experiences like you had with your one ex-girlfriend.

I don't like having many friends. If any of them found out who I secretly was... What I do at night... Their lives would change.

Dating before a year isn't too fast, though. You should strike a balance. Some people establish relationships by dating, others by friendships, some people do both. Do whatever works for you, but I just recommend you stick with the people you really have a passion for after getting to know them, instead of just taking them at face value.

Err... less than a year, say maybe a few weeks definitely isn't too fast. Heck, even two or three days isn't too fast. Screw that, JAHO after the first fifteen minutes if you seem to be getting it on with her. One entire year is just... I don't know...

Not sure if regular teenage single boy activity or being batman.

Why not both?

I prefer a year cause that is enough time to figure out who she is, and such. I don't really want to date someone because she looks hot.. What if she ends being a complete *****?

Break up with her?

Sorry brah, I'm taken.

Then that means the time I spent with her was wasted time. Right?

If you gained something from the experience it was not wasted time.

Well, yeah. You don't want to be wasting your time. But I assure you that a year is arbitrary and you should start relationships because they feel right, not because they've passed your screening test with a probationary period of a single year.

With that mindset a romantic relationship with anyone you don't marry and die with is wasted time. Don't think like that, or you'll never date anyone again.

No, what doesn't kill you makes you stonger... or handicapped, don't date Russian pro-wrestlers.

If they feel right, I'll start the romantic relationship with them ASAP.. If I don't really feel anything special then i wait for that year then decide.. But only decide if I'm not taken.

Alfred: Master Wa-

Batman: ALFRED! *zips bat pants back up*

Alfred: Master Wayne, is that a new addition to your utility belt, or are you just happy to see me?

Batman: Nothing, it's just- *scrambles to close all screens in the cave*

Alfred: Sir, is that Catwoman and... Bane?!

Batman: It's a pop-up!!

What do we have but, wasted time?


Made me laugh a little harder then I should have

It might not feel like it now, but 18 is VERY young. What it means to be in a relationship with someone will change drastically for you over the next 10 years if you're anything like most people. That's not meant to be condescending. My perspective on relationships has changed gradually but drastically since I was 18...as in, not even anywhere close to being similar. There is no age threshold that, once crossed, causes a person to magically become the person they're going to be the rest of their lives. Legal advlthood says nothing about where you're at or where you're going emotionally.

There are no rules as far as how long you're supposed to know somebody before you explore a romantic relationship. If it feels appropriate then try it out and be mindful of the feelings of others as well as your own. Waiting some arbitrary length of time is a good way to miss opportunities.

If you enjoyed it or learned something from it then no.

I can attest to everything in this post.

I've only lived past 18 for a single year, and my perspective has changed drastically already. I've learned so much, and grown so much as a person, it's unbelievable. And who's to say what else I may learn in the next year? In the next ten years?

Age is just a number.

These threads always get a lot of action, yet everyone complains about them.

Have you reported me yet for saying "JAHO"?

They didn't take it seriously...

Idk what JAHO means...
