What constitutes a loser at that age? Beyond the petty social hierarchy that is. It's not like you're expected to do much other then stay in school and maybe hold down a part time job.

idk, like someone who doesn't know where he's going in life.
Hey there's nothing wrong with being one. But for me, I'd have to meet someone with goals and dreams.

I discovered love at a little older than that, and I believe anyone at any age can discover love. The word has multiple meanings. Although in this case, we're referring to romantic love. I'm not sure about you, but as a person who's in a relationship right now and in one for 3 years, I want you to think about what you're saying. You need to experience it firsthand to truly know it.

I had a gf when I was 16.
I have had 2 different gfs since I turned 17. (none currently)
So no I don't give a shit.
Dating is not really a big deal, my friends little bro has a gf and he is 12.

You said "he's" in your definition for a loser so you're implying that you were only holding teenage boys up to this standard and you only feel bad for the girls who are with them. Just pointing out the double standards here.

Not everyone figures out their future in high school, that goes for boys and girls.

Oh, I'm not excluding females. lol Girls who have no future seem like losers to me too. I'm bothered that so many guys don't care about how ambitious, intelligent or educated their girlfriends are.

It's unlikely though, at a younger age. I've loved a person, but I haven't been in a relationship with that person.

"So many guys". Why do you generalize so? A one night stand, maybe. But you better believe we care about those types of things for a potential girlfriend. After all, we have to spend time with her. We wouldn't spend time with someone we couldn't stand being around. Men are stupid. I'm stupid. But we're not that dumb.

Erm, idk, that's what I got out of the "Women Have Higher Standards Than Men" thread. That only females care about status, education and wealthy while the reverse does not apply.

I've been in love when i was younger simply because i liked being with the person. I don't think in a young age, you have to have feelings for someone just because they have dreams and goals.

Why do they have to know that in a young age? It's simple. If you like someone, then you like someone. It doesn't have to be a person you should be with for the rest of your life, but just in the moment. Ambition is something you can think about later on, i believe that people who doesn't have ambitition still have the ability to make someone happy ~ That should be it, i wouldn't dare to think about stuff like that, while i'm still in school and have no idea what i want to become either.

And i probably have no idea what "love" is, but it's different from person to person. There's no right way to love someone.

It doesn't really bother me.

Some people find love, some people don't.
Some people become a professional in their favourite sport, some people dont.
Some people become a millionaire, some people don't.

It's a matter of acceptance, life would be pitiful without it.

really depends on the person, i know that i am mostly happier during a relationship but plenty of my friends prefer being single

some of my friends never really had a relationship and are 19-20 and I'm sure there are older ones here, whatever you believe is right or makes you happy should be what you pursue

I think people who say that you can't have real love at 16 are pretty jaded, who gets to define how real a relationship or feelings are, if nothing else if it brings you happiness you might as well pursue it, you grow through experiences and you learn things that you wouldn't otherwise in relationships

Well I wasn't justifying that stereotype if that's what it seemed like, merely the part about being single and being a virgin that's so often polled on.

At the age of 16, I wouldn't really consider any of those relationships to actually contain any true partnership. Yes, some of them are successful, but very few of those relationships stick together. I'm not at all jealous or feel any pain for not having one. What relationships are based off at the age of 16 are quite different when you are older. Comparing a relationship within your 20s is much different than when you are 16.

I guess I overexaggerated on my point, but the virgin with rage and "kill all those who have sex before me" mentality doesn't help the "nice guy" cause at all. Ugh, they piss me off more than it'd piss of a girl in all honesty. At least I've woken up from that spell in high school and decided not to care about getting a relationship while there.

I just hate greedy people and greedy people in denial.

[center][size=90]When I was really little, like maybe 10 or so, I used to think it would be gross to be in a relationship before 18, haha. As I got a little older, I thought maybe 16 would be the cutoff. I still think that relationships in middle school [ i.e. age 11-13 ] are kind of sketchy, but uh, whatever floats your boat I guess. So personal beliefs? Starting to date around 15-16, yeah, it's okay. I've had some friends who started going out around that age and maybe that's why.
Starting to date before that, I won't say anything to your face, but I think it's a little bit too young.

I'm finally 16 now and ay can I just say single life is best life
Just kidding [ somewhat ]. I don't care about being single; I'm enjoying it while I can because there's a lot of commitments involved with a relationship. I've been generally trying to avoid getting into a serious relationship with anyone because ASIAN PARENTS SAY I HAVE TO GO TO HARVARDYALEPRINCETON AND I GOTTA FOCUS ON MY GRADES MAN IM SO CLOSE TO THAT 2400 ON THE SAT
So if I'm going to be spending a lot of time studying I don't think I'll be looking to go out with anyone at this point, unless whoever asks me out is okay with me being 'afk' 70% of the time.
I don't feel jealous or upset if anyone my age is dating. I'm single, you're in a relationship, so what? Doesn't really matter. Sure, I'd like someone to hug and hold hands with, but that's what husbandos are for I mean what
Imo most high school relationships won't last past graduation, and I don't want to deal with heartbreak when I'm writing my college apps, so...
But if you're in a relationship around 16, well, good for you! I'll cheer you on. I hope your relationship will last for many years. I've never been deeply in love with somebody before, so I'm hardly in any position to judge whether or not such 'love' is real.

Why does it have to be the long run relationship? Even though you might only have a boyfriend for a year, you can still learn a lot about yourself from the experience. If you only base everything on the fact you might not hold very long, then you're overthinking things way to much.

If i fell in love with someone, anything else wouldn't matter. If we were to break up, then that would be it. I just believe that i wouldn't be able to find the right guy i want to marry, if i haven't experienced different kind of relationship, since i believe you learn a lot about yourself, and can take it with you to later on in life. You develop your intelligence by your actions in life. If you stand back, not doing anything new in your life, then i believe you've missed out the whole point of growing up.

Well, love develops from crushes and infatuations anyway.

And at one point, if I want to be with someone and they want to be with me, I don't really care if it's "true" love or not. Either way, I'll be with them. If it doesn't work out in the long run, that's sad but I'd rather not prevent myself from enjoying my time with them in the fear it doesn't work out later because it wasn't genuine enough or something. Having such high expectations is just going to ruin my luv.

Anyway, I was in a relationship at 16 years old and still am over a year later. I'm good. Don't care about other people's relationships unless they're my friends.

Just because you read books on it, watch anime on it, and play games on it doesn't mean you know what it's like. Rofl. I can read books on war, but I've never been in one. How the hell can I make any kind of insinuation into the struggles of battle? I can't. You're acting like because you have that fictional 101% experience in reading romance novels, you know what you're talking about.

And being in love with someone is not true depending, because being "in love" requires more then one person. You having some infatuation with someone from a distance is not love. Lol. And family love is separate from romantic love. We throw the term "love" around far too often on things that are not love nowadays.

You're being arrogant. Throwing out brash generalizations and petty "ya bro I know what I'm talking", despite the fact you don't. You never have. You've never dated, you've never given it all, you've never felt what it's like to make one person more important than yourself. To sacrifice. To compromise. To enjoy each moment with them. And they doing the same for you. That is love my dear. Real love. And I hope one day you really do find it. Because this cynical, narcissistic, Dunning-Kruger attitude will make your heart cold.

And when love does truly come around, will you be too frozen to thaw out for it? I wonder.

This is my point. Kids use this term so often that it doesn't mean anything most of the time.

I've loved a person, romantically. I don't believe it has to be requited to be "in love".

I agree with you on the last part but I don't think anything should be rushed. I think it's fine for some people to think more seriously about these things rather than try going out with anyone out there.

I seek long term. You don't and that's fine but the purpose of dating is to find a marriage partner for me.
