do you think that relationships as teenagers are truly meaningful?

Question

there is this guy that i really like and i feel like we could wind up together for a pretty significant amount of time we share alot of the same intrests and understand each other like nobody else can.........but we are only 15 and16 so do you think that our love could last through high school and college to continue on as adults?

Answer 1

I think love is different at different ages. Intense when you're a teenager, more mature with a deeper understanding of what a relationship is later in life. Just do what comes naturally and don't look back.

Answer 2

Maybe, maybe not. Generally not, though some do. There is still a long way ahead for both of you. So why rush into a relationship? What happens if someone better come into your life later? Would you regret then? Take my advice. Concentrate on your studies and get a degree first. Both of you could stay as good friends while you are at it. Remember you can have a lot of boyfriends but only one husband or steady boyfriend. Have a Merry Christmas!

Answer 3

It isn't impossible, there are people I know who went from high school sweethearts to married with kids. However it is rare & isn't easy to achieve. Instead of worrying too much on whether it'll last or not, treasure whatever you have now. In fact these people never even thought they would've lasted so long, but just let it flowed naturally.

As long as you DON"T LOSE YOUR PRIDE and DIGNITY, love is a mistake worth making. Whatever the outcome, the beautiful memory will last forever. More importantly, you'll understand yourself better - each experience will lead you closer to the right kind of man you'd want to spend the rest of your life with.

Answer 4

I'm 24 years old. I kept a diary in highschool, every new guy I liked and ended up dating the diary entry would go something like, "I can't see myself with ANYONE other than ". I think you can learn from relationships, but it's a rarity for something lifelong to come from it. On the other hand, all three of my brothers were married by 21, all three remained virgins until they were married, and 2/3 of them married their highschool sweethearts. Mind you, the ones that married their highschool sweathearts only started dating them in the Christmas time of the 11th grade. Both are Christian, both believed in waiting until marriage. And all three brothers are going strong.

But from my PERSONAL opinion - you are going to be doing so much growing not only physically but mentally as well as a person. Sure there are highschool sweethearts, but try not to mistake love for lust. Take your time - everything else in the world is happening so fast, a real relationship is the only thing you can take time with these days. And if you find a guy who is willing to take the time with you - it's a good sign...

Answer 5

I believe it's too hard to be in a relationship through high school. You guys will have so many different things going on that can split you apart. Once you get out of high school it's so much easier to maintain a relationship. I was in a relationship in high school i though we would get married and all that good stuff. We broke up and now I'm very happy in a great relationship!
If you guys really work on a relationship and don't let people get between you I believe it can work. Good luck

Answer 6

They are meaningful while they last. But people change as they mature and what is meaningful now may have a significance as we grow up but we outgrow the relationship itself. We look at those relationships fondly and learn from them.
Don't worry about that right now. Enjoy your relationship and the time that you have it. We are all individuals. Yours may outlast time.. it has happened.
Concentrate on the now and let the future take care of itself.

Answer 7

I think it is meaningful and could last but that depends on you two. People have met at that age and are together still in there 20's 30's and 40's...let you two be the judge of that but don't let careers and schooling slide either...

Answer 8

Relationships, yes. Love on the otherhand, no. I don not feel that teenagers are capable of truly feeling something that passionate and deep. However, a relationship is a GREAT way to pave the road for when they are ready to move on. It's good experience, and it helps you undo your own kinks now, rather than in the future.

Answer 9

yes you will change drastically. but the time you are married then you will see what i mean. high school relationships to me arent nothing but close friendships. im only 19, divorced, and a single mom. looking back on high school boyfriends, it seems so stupid. a waste of time. no they dont usually work out. none of my friends in school are still with the bf's and gf's. even those who dated from middle school until they graduated. once they got into the real world everything changed. and it will for you too

Answer 10

It could happen, but then you'll miss out on all the fun! Dating can really truly be a damn good time, if you let it. If you settle down with one person now, you will miss out on countless valuable experiences. Besides, the person you will be next year will be very different from the person you are now. Have fun with this guy--hang out, make out, do whatever it is you crazy kids do these days (safely!). But don't limit yourself by planning him into your entire future. Don't limit yourself by excluding him. Have fun!
