why are people so fixated on maintaining their high school sweet heart relationship?

I agree with reality... It is generally because that person was there for them through many life changing experiences during that stage of life. They formed a bond by practically maturing together. And plus, chnaces are they spoke about what life wub be like together when they are grown and they want it to materialize. I think such relationships have the capacity to become purely friendship based but I know cases where the two remain in love, get married, have kids, the whole nine yards and are still lovers, not just friends.

Because there are too many slips. So everyone should fall in love carefully so that he/she can maintain the relationship for long.

cause people are into the easy way out, quick fixes ect ect most people these days dont take being married seriously enough so they end up calling it quits after only a few years.  its not about them being young, its about how mature they are as a couple and how much they love eachother. also its really hard just starting out money is usually tight so its easy to fight.

First off......I get all goofy. Something about love makes you resort back to junior high days. I want to run to a friend and tell her about this great guy I've met. You start to notice every itty bitty little miniscule detail about the person and you drive your friends nuts talking about them. I want to know more and more about this person......and I guess that's my way of also telling them that I want them to know more and more about me. In other words......when In love...I share. I share and share and share. Its the openness of love that is soooooo refreshing and so wonderful. Knowing him ...he knowing you.... and accepting one another for the good the bad and the oooogly. But there is a distinct happiness that accompanies love......its a knowing.....realizing you have someone in your corner....knowing that someone needs you. When in love you want to give and give and give and give......and to heck with ever taking! It suddenly becomes about them....and so not about you! So when I'm in love......I'm a goofy teenager sharing everything with the most content, happy, grateful heart you could have. Love is amazing!

Maybe they are jealous of you. U R probably super cute, and to make themselves feel like they have control over you, they make you feel unworthy. Just move on, it's High School, and everyone fits in somewhere.

Maybe it's because girls like that find really caring guys and take advantage of them, or treat them like they're not worth anything, so then those guys clam up and are afraid to trust anyone anymore, then the rest of us really caring girls, if we want any companionship at all, are forced to associate ourselves with those "jerks."\nIt's a vicious cycle.

The most common reason is a lack of getting to know each other enough to build all the things that make a relationship strong. honesty and trust and understanding are often taken for granted and this is mainly because they rush in a relationship.

Most people wants things that are hard to get.  It is a challenge for them.  It makes them feel more attractive and wanted than your current beau.

some people are just insecure. maybe she just thinks ur very pretty and feels a need to compete. i've had that happen to me once, not to sound coneited or anything. years ago, when i was in high school and i was being introduced to this guy, all of a sudden his girlfriend pops out of nowhere and wrapps her arm around his, real tight. the thing is i wasn't even feeling him like that.don't sweat it tho.

It is human nature. We want want we can't have. We want what the other person has. We want to be seen as the best in the world. It is a confidence thing really.

cause there is no school that teaches how to fall in love with the right person. so like everything else we need to learn from our own experience. we try to find the right person, and in the process we end up falling in love with no so right people.\nit is important to make one more point here. many times people fall in love with you but you don't find them attractive and move on, and they end up suffering, then when you like someone and fall in love, you see the same thing happens to you, this process continues until finally, you find someone to love and in return the other person loves you back and that would be the perfect match. unfortunatly, most people don't have that much patience to go through their experiences and end up making wrong choices just because they are "tired of trying" and end up in the wrong relationship. so the point, you will be fine just have patience and enjoy the experience

For most folks they think of their high school years as being the best.  They are just trying to get that feeling of discovery they had back then.  You have to remember, most folks lost their virginity during High School.

same reason boys are obsessed with girls raging hormones. My friend sister is a freshman and she likes to stalk boys by hiding in bushes (kinda scary if you ask me)

The only reason I can think of is that they love the person so much that they cant imagine living without them. Marriage isn't for the faint hearted it requires open communication, commitment and flexibility. To share your life with someone, accepting their faults as well as their good traits, to be committed to making their life as full of love and happiness as you can so that in return they will do the same for you isn't always easy but the reward of being with that someone special is awesome....

yeah.... I think its the strength or bond you have with the person. You can feel it more than once...  You can have a few soul mates.....  yeah I believe this is true .. look at your loves in school versus say your 30's . Depending on how you have grown as a person.... they might be very doffernt than someone your attracted to  say tonight... \nBUT on the other hand you can be with your high school sweet heart...and be in your 40's   you have grown together and  not apart....  yeah... I think its possible...  and have had to do it... its hard ............but its done daily.

I think it's too young.  People in middle school haven't learned enough about themselves yet to be ready for relationships.... Dating so early leads to too much confusion and hurt.  When people are more mature and know themselves better, they're able to deal with the complexities of relationships much better.  It's too bad there's so much peer pressure nowadays to start dating early.
