youthful love - what a farce

This love in youth is false, often manufactured due to peer pressure to be in at least some form of relationship...i think this youthful love is immature...this stupid pressure to be in something that "means something" - it probably only means something because it means that you are not the odd-one-out amongst your friends, i.e. girlfriend/boy friend less....i think young 'love' is very sad, and often, there really is no such thing, its just false and manufactured...

besides 40% of marriages, approx, end in divorce
love sweet love, they say.

And you wonder why you're not in a relationship...

As an aside, young love tends to be more pure and is probably more elating because you aren't old and desperate for company. Young love perhaps may be your only chance at finding love that isn't bounded by so much of society's restrictions including the financial, etc. Take it from a child of divorcees whom are both remarried.

I'm not in a relationship because im not trying/don't wish to be....im just saying, youth relationships can often be very fickle affairs...its just a turn off to hear about these particular ones sometimes...but i guess its a stage they in particular go through, and thats the way in which they want to go about doing so...some need/want a boyfriend/girlfriend more so than others, whatever reasons they maybe at such an age...

I'm not incapable of being in a relationship, just i don't particularly want to be in one right now...i have uni and being 'tied' down to one person, maybe ok for others, but no, to be young for me, means priorities such as seeing the world, going travelling after uni, and not having a constraint...its easy for me to say all this right now i appreciate that, in my current predicament, but i have different priorities to others, at least at this stage of my life. I would say young love is not as pure, but that thats inevitable and logical...people 'testing the waters' when young just like some do with drugs, experimentation...but i get turned off with some ways people do experiment....

I never did wonder why i'm not in a relationship....

Hmm, I'm glad you found my post so entertaining as to post it twice eh.

But it's not experimentation for many, but merely inevitability. I never planned on falling in love, nor falling out of it, but it happens.

What DOES irritate me though is when a person dates another merely to have someone there or merely for the first glimpse of a relationship, rather than truly liking the other. It's okay though: those always fail.

I did that deliberately so you thought that.....
I get the last point...
You agree with me then slypie....that some people only engage in relationships to acquire bragging rights? i.e. you don't adore your partner but are with him/her to show off the 'eye candy' to friends - peer pressure in this sense - so relationship isn't wholly for you and her/him as an entity, but young ppl much more likely, likely ok!, take into account peers and the alike - to a higher extent during teen years than say when they have matured a bit more post-teen age...i.e. less care for conforming...more secure in one self's identity. I also appreciate that love can be immature and not so clever post youth - adults and adolescents can be equally immature about love...im heard sorry cases of couples strangling each other other access to children and property post divorce and so forth - immaturity isn't solely confined to the young.

I hope you find this entertaining....

Who called me "a disgusting jaded little twirp"?

Thankyou very much...

I don't suspect it was slypie because shes too entertained at the moment.

Very kind of offering +ve rep to me slypie
Im minus 16, god only knows how and why...i've behaved myself for most of the time...

I guess im anti-tart, that applies to both sexes.

I fell for someone when i was about 19...i was actually sick, thinking about her, that was before i asked her out...can remember eating breakfast in my student house, thought 'oh shít', legged it to the toilet and threw up my weetabix - guess theres some stan in there too... and as for the Stan character - im often labelled 'Butters' - which is unfortunate... I have blonde hair and share some of his characteristics, according to my housemates...

To be honest...i was an ugly duckling at high school, decided to make more of an effort, rather, an effort, and yeah i look a wholly different person...

WTF? Did you even know her? haha

You were "loving" her before you asked her out?

bless....
did you go out with her in the end??

Well i did...she was in my accomodation at uni....well i fell for her hook, line and sinker...i was nutting the wall for two weeks trying to get my courage up lol...it was a horrendous time for me really...unfortunately i had dreamt up the scenario that she had a 'crush' on me so it was a right mess! But i was sick, that was about a week before finally having the courage to make a fool of myself...

No...she said there was someone else...she wasn't lying, i'd just forgotten she'd once brought that up in a group conversation..
