I am soooo sorry that I waited this long to post again. I slacked at first, and then some family problems came up. Okay, so today's post is going to be about...dating!!! Yes, this topic...Now, I'm not here to tell you, "Don't date until your 18!" I just want to reassure your feelings before you give someone something that you can't ever take back. That something may include emotions, secrets, even valued objects. This probably isn't making much sense, so I'll just start talking.
Honestly, I've never had a boyfriend, nor do I want one. I am going to put up a list of why I believe teens/pre-teens date. These opinions are going to be from my view, and my view only. Please, do not get offended if one of these pertains to you!
-Probably, the most common one, convenience. If two people hang out a lot, they just randomly decide to start dating.
-Popularity: I see this one everywhere. Whether it's to get more popular because you're actually dating someone, or the other person is "popular."
-It's what everyone else is doing! One person sees a couple and automatically thinks they need a boyfriend, too.
-I have to have him! Just because 12 other people dated him, doesn't mean that you need to, also.
These are the main reasons that I see, almost everyday. It makes me sad to see girls going after the same guy over and over again, knowing that they don't have real feelings for them. I know it's not my business, but I don't want to see them get hurt.
To sum up that confusing stuff...Don't date for popularity or convenience. Before you date someone, make sure they like you too and you truly have feelings for them, or else you are going to end up getting hurt. I've seen it many times before. You are you, so don't believe you need a guy to make yourself better because you are already good enough. The right one WILL come along. You just have to be patient! :)
