I want to date, and I hate being single, but I'm only in high school..

[Sar880]

I'm an incoming sophomore in high school, and I go to an all girls school. A lot of my friends are in relationships right now and my closet friend has been with her boyfriend for over a year. I'm so lonely, I hate it. The longest time I've dated someone was for 2 months, and I just want so much more. I know it's a lot to ask for in high school but I can't help wanting it, wanting someone to be there for me at the end of the day, someone to share my accomplishments with... And with my friends it's just not the same. I'm terrified of rejection, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of ways I can meet people. It's been 3 months since I've really been interested in someone. When I'm not with anyone at the end of the day it feels like I'm missing something. How can I learn to live with this? Or how could I find a realtionship..

Welcome to adolescence. Where there are a lot of feelings involved and you have no experience handling them. Trust me, you are not the only one feeling like this. If you shared your feelings with some friends, I will guarantee others will admit to feeling them as well.

 

Most people don't want to be alone. They want to find that someone special. It's normal and you will feel that way all your life. The best thing you can do is try to meet new people. Hopefully you will find somebody you like. But even if you don't, remember, you have the rest of your life to search. Enjoy highschool and your friends. Don't let not having a boyfriend stop you from enjoying yourself.
