To Date Or Not To Date?

To be completely honest, my opinion of dating is that it's really quite dumb and is a waste of time. Now, I know a lot of people might be offended. But once you really think about it...it is true.


(And btw...I am not talking about dating when you are an adult..or in college...just dating when you are in high school or younger.)


Dating in high school(or even before high school) is the dumbest idea ever...First of all...High schoolers have extreme hormones...not to mention we're very immature and not very good at make smart decisions. Secondly, what's the point? Can't we just be close friends...but not be boyfriend/girlfriend? If your already close friends there's no real reason to date, because you already have a relationship with them. The only thing you're not doing when you're just friends, is touching each other and kissing.


When you announce to be boyfriend&girlfriend it adds a sudden pressure. Pressure to be something you're not, or to act a certain way that you think you're supposed to act. When you're just friends...you don't have that pressure.


Yes, I do realize it is quite impossible for people of the opposite sex to never have a liking at one time or other, with each other. I'm not saying that it's wrong to like people and that you shouldn't. You just don't have to act on that feeling right away. I think teenagers tend to act right away on feelings they have...We don't really think them over and decide what we should do about them. If we thought with our brains more than our bodies, we all would be living a totally different life style.

Also, the whole point of dating from way back in the day, was so you could find someone to love and spend the rest of your life with. If you're dating when you're in highschool, there is a very high chance you won't stay together very long and you most likely will NEVER marry. If you're just dating for fun, it's wrong. What's so fun about playing around with someone else's emotions? Hurting and/or breaking someone's heart, once they have let you in, is no game I like to play.

Now, I am not saying I look down upon other people who have chosen to date. Or saying that true love is not found if you date. I simply just choose not to encourage, or partake in dating.

Not to date..:)
