I'm a girl and personally with other girls I know we prefer the boy to talk first or otherwise we probably won't ever talk to the boy
Step 1) focus on your studies first

Step 2) focus on your studies

And finally, for step 3, focus on your studies one last time.

Don’t sweat getting a girlfriend. They’ll always be there, however, your time will not always be there. even if you get into an unexpected relationship, always keep school first and whatever fantasy you want second.

Man that's bad advice. You're only young once and it's already later than you think. If you wait you won't feel the same, your experiences are heightened right now, and you'll have plenty of time to regret holding back. Go for it mate.

No your advice is bad more like :rofl:

I have told OP that relationships do happen but ultimately they should be still prioritising school. Actively seeking a girlfriend instead of focusing on school is a waste of time, there needs to be a balance.

Women are always going to be there. OP is in sixth form, there’s a lot of time.

Fair enough. I wouldn't have thought seeking a girlfriend needed to be a full time occupation though, and it's hardly like there are no second chances in education even if he does become overly distracted.

Your original advice wasn't advocating an especially balanced approach either to be fair.

Relationships come with a lot of emotional warrants. All of which could be detrimental to your ability to remain focus in school. Mental health is a real thing. No one wants to be paying for resits, do they?

My original advice was constructed to advocate that one should prioritise getting an education firstly instead of trying to get into a relationship forcefully.

i'd say don't worry about getting a gf right now.. when the time comes the time will come when u meet someone.. just focus on your goals for now and let things flow, whatevers meant to be will be. :smile:
As a current sixth form student. Pls pls pls don't bother with relationships. Make friends yes absolutely and go out and have fun, socialise. But I'd draw the line at relationships. It takes up wayy to much time and in sixth form u gotta get good grades to progress.

If u think u can balance ur time go for it but what I see is the ppl that gwt the higher grades are more focused on working hard now and then have relationships later

True , its been 2 months in sixth form around about and the girls in my class/the school i dont really like , lol they arent for me(?) - so ill just focus on my studies till i get a job and meet someone from there
if you try actively seeking a relationship just because you want/feel like you need one, then its not going to be enjoyable and chances are, short-lived. being comfortable with yourself is more attractive than trying too hard to seek approval
