Yes, it can happen, but don't expect it to last. Everyone's growing and changing at that age and unless you're very lucky, you'll grow apart from each other rather than together.\n\nAs for what it's like - more intense than anything you'll ever experience again, so if you do fall in love, cherish it! Love when you're older is just as good, if not better, but it's never quite the same.

first you are not alone in this. i know plenty of people whos never had a date in high school, it doesnt matter really because everyone's situation is different.\n\nlook, would you date someone because there is a mutual connection between you two or would you rather date 'just because' you've never had a boyfriend? do you want a relationship because you are in love or because you are desperate to PROVE you can get a boyfriend? \n\nANYONE CAN GET A DATE IF THEY WANTED TO!!! im sure you are really sweet and nice, and you want to see how it feels to be in a relationship. but dont just surrender to peer pressure, its not worth it. wait until LOVE finds you, you are still young, have your first date SPECIAL and REAL then you can go show off and make everyone else jealoused! \n\nnow calm down, theres no need to go 'omg' its perfectly natural. if you really want a boyfriend despite what ive said so far, then be more sociable and join some clubs and activities outside of school. that way you'll meet new people and increase your likelihood of getting a date :)\n\ngood luck and listen to your heart!

You say you think you have never been loved and think you will never find it. Not to answer your question with a question but if you could receive love from someone what do you think it would be like?  What does love mean to you or what do you want love to mean to you? Does it mean you feel cared for, accepted, respected and appreciated? If it does than you can give love and maybe some day you will receive it but you need to be here to find this out.  Life might seem crappy at times, I've been there myself, but your life is like a story, but if you leave too soon you may never know how good the story could have been.  You never know who might enter your life that will change it in a wonderful way. Hang in there, i think love will find you.

Honey, don't rush it..Just think  you havn't had your heart broken yet because he found someone else he might like better..that sucks...just be yourself you are young and sophmore, junior, senior year will be the best time of your life...try not to be in such a hurry to deal with all the drama that comes with high school crushes...it will happen in its own time...you never know the one who shows interest in you may become your high school sweetheart and may last a long time...

Well, first of all, you can't expect other people to love you if you don't love yourself first.  I had the same problem when I was in highschool.  Remember though, your there for yourself, not anyone else.  Your there to get YOUR education so you don't end up at Burger King for the rest of your life.  Don't worry about getting in with the crowd.  Find a few friends that you trust and that respect you and treat you right.  A few bestfriends is better than 100 not-so-best friends.  A best friend is someone you can talk to about anything and they'll be there for you through thick and thin no matter what.  That's all I needed in highschool.  But to be honest, you'll probably never see or talk to the people your going to school with now.  I only talk to one person I went to school with, and that's not even on a daily basis.  We keep in touch and that's about it.  I NEVER see anyone I went to school with.  I haven't seen but maybe 50 out of like 800 people I graduated with back in 2004.  Make the best out of your highschool years because after that your life 'begins.'  Cheer up girl!!!  Hope this helps.  Please feel free to IM me or e-mail me if you ever need someone to talk to.  I'll be here for ya!\n~Courtney~

I believe you should try it if it is too late to enter high school.  As long as you apply yourself and don't take the course lightly.\nAs much as you may not want to hear that, it's true.

when i graduated from elementary school i was very proud.  i loved school and studied alot.  then summer came...i cried.  i was happy for the accomplishments i've done, but sad to know that came to an end an what was left was uncertainty.  it's a big transition to go from elementary to the high school level.  you go from being the oldest in your building to the youngest.  that in itself is scary.  then you have to decide what cirriculum you want, college prep, business, etc.  such big decisions for a young person.  add that all together with puberty and it's a crisis.  when i started jr high, i was upset and sick in the stomach for about a week or so.  then i realized, everyone was just as upset as i was and we all felt the same so why not just talk it out.  most people don't want to tell you how scared they are.  it's difficult wondering if you will be accepted or if you will be the nerd.  regardless of whether you are the class president or the class nerd, the best years of your life will be in high school.  after that, you have to get up in the morning and go to work so you can pay your car, house and everything else.  soon you will realize how great it was to be in school with no worries, which when you were in school seemed like a life or death situation.  all the people that ignored you or were just plain nasty will say hi to you like you were their best friends.  but high school will be great.  join everything you can, all the sports, clubs , activities, etc.  it looks great in the senior year book next to your name.  good luck

Think about grade school. That's how the boys act when they like a girl. I don't know why they do it, but it happens a lot. My first love was 19 and I was 18. I actually couldn't stand him and avoided him every time I'd see him. Eventually, I accepted when he asked me to go to my senior prom. Something clicked like magic, and it was like I was in heaven! We would be together today, but unfortunately, he has passed on. I still think about him all the time, laughing at the insults and meanness, and smiling at all the wonderful times we had together.

you got me confused,but I think I know what you mean. U wanna do it, but you have regrets (conscience). I personally think your too young, so wait on it. U mentioned you both respect each other and that makes the relationship reasonable. Why don't you both wait. Sex will always be there and in high school you can't turn the clock backwards to make things right.

High school in the US is a popularity contest: who can have the cutest bf/gf, who can make the cheerleading squad/football team, etc. I enjoyed high school, I had friends, I'm not trying to be cynical, but it was always about who was the most popular flavor of the month. Kids cheated all the time on exams, I did too (mainly on homework), it didn't seem to be a big deal. I regret it now though, I should've just learned the info then b/c now I'm in college and don't know how to do somethings I should've learned in high school! Hope that all makes sense.

YES IT DOES WORK!  In highschool my best friends brother kept asking me out over and over and over.  I kept telling him NO NO NO NO!  I mean its taboo to date your best friends brother right?  Finally he wanted to know why so the only thing I could think of was " I cant date someone who has hair longer than mine!"  He had long hair.  The next day he came to school with a short military hair cut!  THEN I felt like I HAD to go out with him!  So i did and do u know what?  We r married now and have been together 22 years!  We have a 15 year old son and our love only grows deeper and stronger with each passing day.  He is not only my husband, but my best friend as well.  When it comes to love ALWAYS TAKE THE CHANCE!  Otherwise you will always wonder what might have been!  I say GO FOR IT!  I did and Im the happiest and luckiest woman alive!!!!!  Let me know how it turns out!  Good luck to u!

It's a beautiful thing to be in love when you are young.  You haven't had time to experience being hurt, disappointed and disillusioned by someone.  You love that person with complete abandon and believe that you can have that feeling forever.  I think that it's possible for young love to last.  If you are willing to stand by each other through the good times and the bad times.  If you accept the changes in each other as you go through life.  I Wish You Much Happiness!
