does getting a girlfriend negatively effect my sqa Highers academic

i haven't been in a relationship for while and as a teen i want a gf but i am scared that getting a gf will be emotionally exhausting. this emotional exhaustion can negatively effect my sqa higher grade as i will be too distracted. what you guys think. does getting a gf harm sqa higher performance
I suspect it's really going to depend on how much time and energy you put into that relationship. If you just focus on your academics first and foremost and make sure that the other party in the relationship is aware of your priorities I don't see it should necessarily be an issue.

haha i know its a very cringe thing to say when your getting study advice but i fear that when i get a gf she isnt as dorky and nerdy as me so she will distract me to other things in her life. Then there is a concern if have a breakup then i will be very emotionally overwhelmed and that can can cause my academicals grade at higher to halt because i will be emotionally damaged and it will take time to recover. I had breakup in lower down the school and it allowed emotional growth but my academic performance did decline. since it was before S4 back in the time it didn't had a massive impact on my future academia i am worried that can happen again and this time it will have a larger impact on my academic i mean Highers are like university main exam.

If you don't think you can create good boundaries for the relationship in your life then that's for you to determine - no one else can tell if you are able to balance that and separate things out for yourself emotionally like that. If that is the case then maybe best to avoid the situation altogether.

i establish boundaries and i think its important man because sometimes my previous gf was highly jealous and at first i didnt mind beacuse it show she loves me a lot but later it was too much.

only get a girlfriend if you have a crush on someone and want to ask her out. going 'i want a girlfriend' with nobody in mind like women are just attainable things is the wrong way to start already. no offence.

your right man that is the wrong mindset to have well i don't have that mindset. i just make sure a girl likes me for me because in the past some girls used to like but not for good reason. This is why its important to have a healthy and connected relationship. So going out to say i want a girlfriend to a random girl is the wrong mindset.
