Acting too old for their age? - Page 2 - VGF

**Prince Toad** · 07-27-2004, 12:54 AM

Heh, Parra, I vaguely recall some girl telling me that as well, some years or months or whatever back. It doesn't mean anything, rest assured.

Y'know, I think I could get a decent girlfriend if I felt like it... but the way I look at it, there's not much point until you can drive. How crappy is it to go out with someone if your parents have to drive you all over the place? Maybe if you live close-by, but even then you couldn't go to the movies or whatever. I guess you could hang out after school, but still.

well, it hit him and three years later, he's gettin married.

I agree 100% PT, that's why I didn't take having a relationship seriously until my Jr year.
then I was able to take her wherever the hell she wanted to go, and to this day, she's still my baby...
Ok end the sentimental ****

Depends on the person really Cornell, I'd say rather than finding true love, you find that you take relationships more seriously, which causes you too later in life be able to find your true love.

Really, relationships don't so much depend on age as personal maturity. ^^ Some may not reach it till university (or past it!) while some may become mature enough to have a long, committed relationship at a younger age. ^^

Later years in high school, you start to know what it means to be a boyfriend/girlfriend a little closer. For example, i've had a girlfriend in the seventh grade for about six months, and during that time, we only wet to one movie, and I called her twice. Once she wasn't even home, and didn't return my call. Freshmen year, I met a girl, fell for her, and have been dating her ever since sophomore year...a little under two years. We've gone to countless movies and I call her almost everyday.

Okay, that's my little rant.

Trust me, you truly won't understand true love for awhile, maybe abot 2-4 years, when you hit that 10-11th grade in high school, then it'll hit you, you'll fell it, and you'll know it

When you said "you truly won't understand true love for awhile", did you mean me in particular? I'm not talking about myself, I'm talking about everyone else.

Alright, as many of you know, I'm in sixth (going on seventh) grade. I've noticed this a lot.. girls and guys "hook up" and consider "going out" hugging a girl/guy every day after school. I think this is ironic because to "go out" you have to actually do something like go to a movie, dinner, etc. My peers just go through girlfriend/boyfriend one after the other. This one girl has had like, what, 15 "boyfriends"? I just find it odd..

I did like this one girl from 1st-5th grade until I actually told her, and she didn't give a damn. I decided after that to NOT "like" any girls because it's just too complicated.. jeers, jokes, comments, fighting, etc. It just gets to be too much but I kind of feel a bit out of place because when people say, "So who have you gone out with this year?" and I reply, "No one." the jeers and comments commence.

I just think that they're acting older than they really are... anyone have any comments?

If you ask me, these people are acting younger than they really are.

SwampDog82 · 07-27-2004, 05:04 PM

Maybe I should phrase it as "trying" to act older than they are? Yep, that'd be right..

I was in a serious relationship in 6th grade. I went on three dates with the girl.

Where is the idiot running to? Why to Nintendo Mania of course. Just follow him for the time of your life.

SwampDog82 · 07-27-2004, 09:58 PM

Yep, that's serious alright.

It's kinda annoying, but when it comes down to it, they'll be more prepared for 'real dating' when the time comes.

My girlfriend and I decided on embracing our relationship when we were both in the 11th grade. It was difficult, because we were a few hundred miles apart, but it was definitely worth it. Still with her, and it's been 4 years and 8 months now. I can't say I'm still 'head over heals', but what I do have is a well developed ability to care and understand. I'm definitely all hers, just as I was back then.
