No, I’m not in love. Nor do I have a crush on anybody. This is just a reflection of a conversation I had with another friend.
For the past years, I have insisted that teenage years should be spent only on things that benefit me directly in my journey of life – such as academic stuff or hobbies (MVC, websites, piano). Having a lovey-dovey relationship with a girl is clearly not in the list – not only does it drain away my time, energy and money, but also, at a chance, it makes me face a heartbreak.
My friend thinks otherwise. He believes that love can help him build a larger friend circle, more experiences of communicating with other people, and, in his case, better studying skills (apparently she was one that cares a lot about grades, or something along those lines). And to him, time energy and money weigh less than those things.
I think all of us here (well, teenagers here), understand that how we do in academic stuff are really important in our lives. Just out of curiosity, for those who date, why do you date? For those who don’t, why don’t you? (No, answers like “I can’t get a date” don’t work)
And seriously, I do NOT have a crush on anybody. Somehow this topic just taunted me after the conversation.

I fear you miss the entire point of an relationship Peter, and thus you are showing your naiveness, even, childishness….
Did you know, in all senses of the word, humans require love in order to survive? Whether its with your family, friends, girlfriend, boyfriend, whatever! We all require it.
When your in a relationship with someone (gf/bf), you share a special bond. And you can do things with them, that you cant do with a friend. And im not just talking about sex/kissing or whatever, more of an emotional pathway, where you share with one another, become one another….
A relationship makes most people considerably happy, because we all require this emotional pathway with a fellow human being. You can share it to an extent with family and friends, but not to the same degree….
I can guarantee it little Peter, you will know what im talking about if you ever get a girl, or even a guy if thats your preference

For me I used to share your point of view. No, I don’t have a girlfriend but yes, I have fallen in love. No, don’t ask me who it was because I doubt that you know her anyways. I think you shouldn’t get a girlfriend just for the sake of getting one, if you know what I mean. It should be something that you both know without directly saying it. I imagine heartbreaks won’t be so heartbreaking, when the moment comes, if there’s a good reason reason it and you guys can stay friends. So yeah, don’t go off and ask every single girl you have the least tinge of feeling of and don’t shy away when you both know there’s something more than friendship.
But yeah, Mattisdada got it right, you can be genuinely happy when you are in love. If you ever are, you have the opportunity say those emotional and lovey dovey stuff to your girlfriend because your friends (especially bros) will probably think they are sick and, ordinarily, you don’t want your parents to know either because they’ll probably interrogate you until feel like a streaker. Or if you want to stay on the safe side, just write secret poems or whatever that you keep to yourself to get out all the emotion, although others might think it’s creepy.
