I mean, recall back to being a teenager. Overall, would you say it was a good thing dating as much/as little as you did? Do you regret dating so much, or regret not getting into as many relationships as you did? If you're currently a teenager and dating, are you happy with your current status (Dating/single?)
=D Feel free to just say what you feel, I'm interested to know what you guys think.

im single and wish i would date more(freshman in college), but im pretty shy and insecure. I know i just need to believe in myself, but it's hard! Who knows if it will be good or bad for me in the future!

Well quite honestly I never was and still am not interested in the whole dating thing. It's too much trouble, and I am too shy anyways. I just want to meet a great female friend and turn it into something more.... dating is pretty ridiculous if you ask me. It's like trying to get a girlfriend from someone you don't even know... whereas the method I am attempting is to try to befriend and THEN go to next level. But it is very hard and I haven't been able to yet. The woes of being too shy... I am too nice... I can't envision myself just randomly approaching a girl and being like "hey babe wanna go out" because that's just not my personality... I always thought people that do that are rude. I mean, you don't even know the person! It's one thing if you at least have her acquaintance or something. People have lost the sense of manners these days. But alas... I guess I will be single for a long time because I don't use these methods. Maybe if I am 25 and still single I will hunt for a girlfriend on ebay or something. lol just kidding on that. I don't think that's even allowed. Anyways..... rant of the night.

in high school, i only had a few boyfriends. one of which was "handed down" from one of my friends freshman year. we dated a few months then broke up. he was interesting...lesbian mother and all. i didn't really date again until senior year. i had 2 boyfriends right before i graduated, and again they only lasted a few months. my past two years of college i have dated a SH*T ton. freshman year in college i was going on 2-3 dates a week with different guys. having this much experience really helped me figure out the type of guy i wanted. i realized he HAD to be funny, romantic and give me lots of attention. i'm now dating my bf of 5 months, and i have no doubts that hes not the one for me. i've had so much experience, i dont feel like i'm missing out on anything by being in a relationship, because at the end of the night i know someone's thinking about me. i dont have to worry about being used or just another friend with benefits. i suggest dating as much as possible so that way when you meet the "one" you arent always wondering 'what if' or potentially cheating.

i just turned 18 and over the past YEAR i've dated three guys, and had one boyfriend. &&& though im currently single. i look back on those guys & they were had many different qualities but similar as well. By dating, only 3 guys and having making one of them a boyfriend, i've learned a lot of things & wat i would later want in a relationship. Sure, there might be somet things i regret, but if i regret them i would have never learned from them! With love comes heartache. whether you want to feel it or not. but thats ok, cuz it makes you stronger as a person. You live you learn!! no pain no gain right!

I'm 18 now and my one and only dating experience as a teenager has been AWESOME!
We met when we were 14, forged a strong friendship and when we were 15 we started dating. We've never looked back.
I love my partner so much, it's wonderful because I have never had to waste time trying to find a guy, and I could just laugh at the girls who spend all their time pining that they don't have a boyfriend (there's a reason for that, now..).
The love and stability our relationship has given me came at a turbulent time in my life, and i would not be the happy fulfilled person I am today if it wasn't for my partner.

It was not all that great. I dated a lot of jerks, and I married one of them at 17. I left him two years later, much wiser, and had much better dating experiences.

i had horrible experiences, but I'm much wiser dating a great guy, I'm 21, and hes the best thing that ever happened to me, in life you need to have bad experiences to really appreciate the simple pleasures and beauty in life, that might have passed you before.

No, I was not ready to date back then. I ruined all my relationships simply because I was too immature to know that true love is about what you give, not what you get.
