Cracker Jack Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Heck no. Many teenage relationships are shown to be pointless, anyway. Don't be hard on yourself; you're still young. I never had a girlfriend in my teens, either.

Ask out girls you want to date, don't just get in a relationship to be in one.
SincereOnlineGuy Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 is it important to have a girlfriend in teenage life In this context, absolutely not !!!
USMCHokie Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 No, it's not important. I never dated in high school or college. I turned out ok. Stop worrying about it. Like sage said, go out on dates with girls who interest you. Don't force a relationship just because you want a relationship...
wuggle Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Really wouldn't worry about it at all. Never dated till after 20. It happens when it happens. Spend your time figuring out who you are and what life is all about (let me know if you ever figure it out )
tman666 Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 I think that if it happens, it happens, but it's not something you should stress about. I had a long term girlfriend in high school that literally asked me out every step of the way (first to a dance, then on dates, etc) and I think it actually put me behind the eight ball when it came to dating in college. She and I broke up for good during our first year of college. After that, I went through an awkward phase (of which it's debatable that I'm still residing in) with girls that certainly didn't help me in the dating game. I knew how to be in a relationship, but I didn't know how to date, ask girls on dates, etc. I really think you should focus on dating a lot of different girls when the time is right and when it happens. Don't use girls for your own ego, sex, etc., but don't be afraid to voice your opinions and grievances. If shyt starts going south, bail out amicably. I've seen each of my younger siblings go though (and have experienced for myself) the strain and hardship that goes with being in long term, immature relationships that are kept going for the sake of "being in a relationship". Have fun, learn to be a man and not a boy, and keep your options open my friend.
kickintheaz Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 i'm just asking because i'm 19 years old and never had a girlfriend and never kissed a girl before i just remember when i was 17 i was trying to have a date with a girl in my school and i had lot's of problems with her father he didn't want his daughter to mess around with boys i gave up on trying to find a girl since that day it was horrible 19, never kissed a girl, don't sweat it, there are 100000s of people who are in or went through similar... when it happens it happens, but thats for you to experience in your own time, not for peers to force you into.. as to the incident when you were 17, unfortunate, can put a black cloud when you reach that situation again, but remember it was nothing YOU did, it was her father, dads are protective over their little girls, believe me, I see my friends with kids now and they are already buying the remote controlled front doors and shot guns for when boys (like they used to be!) come a calling!!!! so NOTHING you did in that situation was your fault ok??? it'll all happen in its own good time, so don't be sweating it, go about your life and one day you'll turn around and there'll be a girl there beside you and this post will all be forgotten.. and if I may be so bold as to the title of your thread.. ' Is it important to have a girlfriend in teenage life?'... my response would be, its not IMPORTANT to have a girlfriend at ANY point in life, its just pretty cool to find someone you can share your life with, for any given moment in time!!!...
Jasmine777 Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Being single is so fun, what i always loved was not knowing what was around the next corner and wondering when you would meet the "one!" It's really quite exciting and you learn so much about yourself. I would focus on building great friendships with people and not care when you will meet the right girl for she will come around!
alphamale Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 people really shouldn't start dating until they reach 25
AverageJoe Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 people really shouldn't start dating until they reach 25 People shouldnt be in a relationship until they are at least 25, agreed. Dating is a bit different in my opinion. Dating = sex. Lots of that.
