Experience.


experience in what?
Relationships.

So you can know what to do with your partner when you get older, make better team oriented decisions, sharing the load, better emotional attachments with others, etc.


by going through heartbreak and feeling like no one loves you? no thanks. You can become great friends with people without dating them.
Doesn't heartbreak only make you stronger? Since about 40% of marriages end in divorce, it's good to be prepared for that as well.

I know its pointless to date in HS but i do it anyway for a few reasons:

1. My future wife(along with many others) is probably in bed with some other guy right now. i dont want to miss out on the fun

2. i get lonely sometimes, and Ill need affection

3. Jacking off gets old after a while.

4. Youll look stupid if youre going out on your first date at 18


1. there is a select group of people that make the point to not sleep with other people until marriage.

2. Family and friends

3. Deal with it, the wait makes it worth it.

4. The older you get the wiser you get, I would rather laugh over awkward elbows at 18 than trip over myself on a date at 14 years old. When I am older I will have everything planned out because I will have a larger brain.

Be the 60% then.

Heartbreak did not make me stronger.

you dont have to date to have relationships skills. You can be just friends with the opposite gender and develop great communication and relationship skills.

I'm ok with being best friends with girls, but I think that you shouldnt be making out and sleeping with people until after you are able to actually pay for a gf/bf


There is a term for dating a partner you pay for.


please elaborate on this term my good sir.
The non-offensive word for them is 'escort'.

OT: So you know how to sex and not be awkward when you have that first night with your wife.

If she's experienced and you're not she won't be having such a great time.

It's practice, basically.


I will guarantee that both of us are abstinent.
Well then both of you will be awkward and clueless and have no idea what you're doing.

What's the purpose of you making this thread? Is it because you could never get a girlfriend in high school?

1-not very many, and they are usually boring people
2-fair enough
3-no it doesn't
4-you get better at stuff from experience, not biological age

You really don't need to be dead focused on finding your future wife at such a young age. You are going to lose contact with a lot of your high school and college friends in the future.

Dating is a great way to enhance your social skills. How do you know what you want in your wife if you don't experiment while you're young? And if you truly meet the "one", you'll want to be prepared to sweep her off of her feet.

Romantic relationships are quite a bit different than friendships.

Heartbreak did not make me stronger.
All wounds heal. Except death. But that's aside the point.

Also, is there some sort of a guarantee that a certain person will be in the 60%? Most don't actually want to break their own hearts, they have no choice. It's best to be prepared for and expect the worst.

1. I think that they are very awesome people, when I get old, as in 40 years old, I want good friends who are wise, and the people I have now, (who are abstinent) will certainly be wise and happy at age 40. They arent boring now, and I dont think they will be boring in 20-30 years.
3. Yes it does, Experience it for the first time with the person I will spend the rest of my life with will be amazing!
4. Both ways, I choose being taught by others and waiting for my brain to develop fully.

You really could not be more wrong. Relationship skills are FAR diffferent than skills gained from just being friends. :P

best to love the other person and take the chance that your bond will be broken by something other than death? no thanks. Wouldnt you want to be certain that you would be with the person you marry for the rest of your life?

Signatures are for little kids.

People do what they can to make themselves happy.

It's ALL good.

You're happy believing in abstinence, and that's good for you. Others roll in the dirt like animals (or whatever), and that's good for them.

Also, this. Sex can highly complicate things. A bunch of my friends are abstinent in their relationships to keep things simpler.

Because, as silly as highschool relationships tend to be, if you like someone and they like you and you enjoy spending time together, why wouldn't you date?


Yeah, it's pointless. So are things like drugs and alcohol, but people enjoy them. You could argue that music is pointless, but to me music is everything. Basically, various people have various lives with varying needs/wants.

OP is either a loser or incredibly stupid. Just because you make out or have sex with someone doesn't mean you have to date them. And the people who do date before 18 are usually doing it for practice anyway. Also, dating is fun.


I have dated before. FYI.
