Do late bloomers eventually get bf's and gf's???

Question

1.) People that don't date or have a relationship in high school, do they eventually get a bf or gf??
2.) Would someone not want to be with a person because they never had a relationship before?
3.) Do you know any late bloomers?? Did they eventually get a relationship and how old were they??

Answer 1

Yeah, I never had a relationship in high school, and I got a boyfriend the end of my first year in college (just a few weeks ago, actually.) And he's great, which is more important than having had lots of boyfriends in my past. Anyway, if you're worried about someone knowing you haven't had any relationships in the past, you don't have to tell them- it's not like they'll do a background check. But I think some guys/girls would like being your first bf/gf.

Answer 2

I think I'm especially qualified in this area, lol. I guess I should answer your questions first before making comments.

1) Yes, all the time. High school bears very little resemblance to the real world, or even college.
2) Only morons, I'd say. Really, no one can tell by looking at you whether you've been in a relationship before. And it only bothers people if you're really desperate and act like you'd go out with absolutely anyone (even though you might go out with almost anyone).
3) I consider myself a late bloomer. I've been in relationships, but none of them ever amounted to anything. None of them were serious either. I regret all of them because they were just annoying and a distraction from more important things in life.

I'm 22 now, a senior in college (almost two years left though, since I'm double majoring), and still looking for the right girl. I know many guys who have yet to be in a real relationship, and all of them are fairly normal. I think I have plenty of time left to date and stuff, but the scariest part of it all is that I might want to seek a PhD . . . which would make me 28 or so when I graduate if I do that. That seems to me to be quite late to get started on dating seriously, but people all around tell me it isn't really. At any rate, I hope I meet the right person by 30 and settle down. Oh yeah, my fields are math and computer science, so there aren't many eligible women in my classes (and I don't want to date any of them).

Trust me, people get hooked up all the time, regardless of what their lives were like in high school. If anything, I'd say that not dating in high school is more of a handicap for men than it is for women because men need a lot of courage to make an approach (and they usually have to do it quite a lot). I read once that 95% of people get married at some point. So it can't be that hard. If you need more help, or have more questions on the subject, email me. I know all about things like this, because I just got through a lot of it myself. Good night!

Answer 3

Yes late bloomers do get into relationships. My first relationship was right after high school. I didn't even have one guy pay attention to me in high school.
By the time I was 24 I was getting into my groove, most of my friends from high school were settled and worn. I think that being a late bloomer is the way to go, you have more time to learn all the crap and see the games,...and avoid them when you get around to dating.

Answer 4

Of course!!!!
1. I am a senior in high school. I'm a pretty girl and most guys like me, but i choose not to date that much. i have never thought about not dating in high school effecting my future relationships, but i guess for myself its more of a choice. when you get older, youll get a relationship. Just make sure u wait until u r ready
2. Sometimes inexperience is a plus. It may create some awkward times, but as long as ur not shakn around the opposite sex, u should be fine. In ur 1st relationship, don't let ur partner take advantage of ur innocence
3. I know a few. They chose when they got a relationship. One was 20 and another was only 18. Its all based on the person.
Dont even worry about it. You sound young and i'm sure u have plenty of time. Youre time will come!!!!

Answer 5

I'm a guy,and a late bloomer,and I'd want it no other way,experiencing sex and relationships at an early age is for some a bonus,not me,doing the thing younger people do at an older age is great,it makes me feel young again.

Answer 6

No, never... all late bloomers are destined to be alone forever.... just joking
Yes, you will meet someone.
You gotta start somewhere!!
All my friends were late bloomers... (per your terms)
They all waited until like their 20's to start trying to find someone. It is not a bad thing. You are more mature then & can objectively handle situations that would seem horrible when an adolescent. don't worry... your time will come.
There are plenty of what you are calling "late bloomers" that are happily married ...
"There is no right time to begin dating, to experience intimacy, to fall in love, or to have sex. Everyone "blooms" in their own time... and in their own way." Read more at link below:

Answer 7

1) yes, they do
2) nope, they wouldn't care if they liked someone
3) yes, I'm a very big late bloomer. I didnt get my first kiss until the first year of college and on my 19th birthday, I'm still 19, actually. It's actually more of a turn on for my guy that I dont have any experience and he likes me more for it because he's the only experience I've had. we are still together. I was abit sad in high school for not dating, but now I'm totally glad. I'm not just kissing any old guy, the guy I'm kissing means something to me.

Dont worry about it, it will work out!
Oh, and when I stopped carrying and trying to get a man I actually got one!

Answer 8

1) Absolutely. Every duckling is a swan!
2) No. If they feel that way, they're not the one for you.
3) Yes. I know of someone who is getting married for the first time at age 42! She's ecstatically happy. It does happen! People meet people in every decade of their lives, sometimes when they're not looking or expecting it. Have patience and hang in there! Happiness will be yours. I've seen it happen time and time again.

Answer 9

WOW ... late bloomers are great if you are the first one to have one for a bf or gf . . .

All that pent-up sensuality . . . WOW ... I'm always looking for those late bloomers. As one told me her "first time" . . . "I just love it when I can be slu-tty." So did I!

Answer 10

I was a alte bloomer, and i am engaged to be married. high school doesn't mean jack crap. Holding hands in homeroom is not a relationship.
