Is anybody else just....not interested in dating?

<p>I thought that an interest in dating and everything would just come naturally with high school, but it hasn’t for me. I went to Tolo, mostly just to see what it’s all like, and the whole time I was wishing I was just hanging out with friends and taking it easy and stuff. I just didn’t like it. It seems like all of my friends are obsessed with guys/girls, and I feel so abnormal. Does anyone else feel the same way?</p>

<p>I’m feel the same way. I’m entering grade 10 (so I’m probably younger than you), and I’ve never had a boyfriend. I’ve had good friends that are guys, but never the “dating” sort. It’s not that big of a deal for me; about half of my friends have “gone out” with at least one person, and half feel the same way as me.
By the way, what’s Tolo?</p>

<p>I’m not in high school anymore, but I remember I thought having a boyfriend would be nice, but I didn’t really like any of the guys at my school. All of my friends were girls (there were 12 of us in the group), and none of them had boyfriends… only a couple of them talked about crushes with me. And then junior year rolled around… and the biggest nerd in school asked me to the homecoming dance. (Well, actually he called my house, my older sister pretended to be me and told him yes - and informed me after she got off the phone - I felt guilty about it and went with him)… Anyhoo, I got sidetracked, surprisingly - I had a good time, and we started dating. That lasted for a long time but ended before college. I still chat with my ol’ gal pals from high school, and 3 have steady boyfriends, 3 have had a date, and the rest just don’t care.</p>

<p>Lesson is: you’re not abnormal, you’re just near people who are normal like you.</p>

<p>I’m not interested in dating. I’m going to be a senior. I was interested in junior high. Then I entered high school, and having a boyfriend is the last thing on my agenda. I have a nice mixture of friends- some are like me and are completley indifferent. Others are completley boy/girl crazy. And no offense but that gets old fast to people who don’t care much about dating. =X</p>

<p>I think high school relationships are silly =) so yeah. I’m not interested.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t mind a girlfriend - but it isn’t a priority. Well she’d be as into school and all as I am, so it would work out anyway. But I haven’t found anyone I was serious about in almost a year now. It’s not like I’m going to go out and find someone. That’s kind of pathetic.</p>

<p>for me, 7-10th grades were all about gossip, boyfriends, girlfriends, friends, backstabbing, fights, etc…</p>

<p>now, aceing my tests is my first priority. i don’t even want a boyfriend right now. but i like the ‘chase’… (i like it when I chase guys, not when guys chase me… everything turns out topsy turvy with the former)</p>

<p>Hahah yeah I’ve created random mini-obsessions just for the thrill. In fact, I just got over a three day obsession with a girl I hardly know at the other campus in my district.</p>

<p>I like to flirt but girls can be trouble when you have a lot of things to do.</p>

<p>Um…</p>

<p>I don’t think I’ll have a girlfriend until I get into college or something…</p>

<p>In terms of dating however, I’m fair game.</p>

<p>After all, when you only date someone, you don’t have to call them every day or every other day, you can date other people, and if you do date another girl the first girl really can’t complain too much because she’s not in a commitment with you.</p>

<p>Most of the boys at my h.s. are icky. Just my opinion. I have a bad tendency of liking guys who are waayyy too old for me. =(</p>

<p>You aren’t the only one who feel that way, Jenspinky. I feel the same way.</p>

<p>^me too jenspinky. It’s not that i’m not interested in dating, but I’m not interested in dating the guys I go to school with. They’re so immature and I can’t imagine having a relationship with them. It’s why I get attracted to older, more mature guys who are too old for me.</p>

<p>Celebrian,</p>

<p>Glad I’m not the only one! How old is “too old” though? I’m currently crushing on my hot neighbor who is probably 30. (eeeek!)</p>

<p>I know what you mean! I’m crushing on a 28 yr. old. :eek: So I know it could never happen, but you can’t help the way you feel. I can’t help but like him. He doesn’t care about stupid stuff that teenager boys do.</p>

<p>LOL. I’m pretty sure my parents know I think he’s hot. Even my dad said that the hot neighbor is handsome. They get along but it’s not like anything’s gonna happen! Damn the age difference!!!</p>

<p>yeah somehow I don’t think I’ll be dating someone 11 years older than me anytime soon. :stuck_out_tongue: I can always hope right!</p>

<p>i know this will sound crazy… but i think i would say about 60% of the girls at my skool are dating, about 15% have boyfriends, 10% are lesbian/bi & the rest dont really care… our skool newspaper took a poll!! </p>

<p>but then again … i go to an all girls school… & our girls are particularly boy crazy!</p>

<p>our gay/lesbian/bi population is so low (well those who are “out” anyways) that it wouldn’t barely make a dent if we took a poll like that! :p</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>What? celebrian ur gay?</p>

<p>Oh wait…ur a girl…I keep forgetting that :D</p>
