My Idiot of a Friend (please help!!)

i dont really think its dating or going out if your parents have to drive you everywhere...

RTFM on overreaction

I didn't have my first boyfriend until I was like 14...and even then I was like..this isn't even a real relationship! It only lasted 2 weeks, because my parents had to drive us everywhere...and to be honest, it stunk!! You should just relax. And I would have to agree with everyone, if you care about what everyone else thinks, chances are you are not responsible to handle a mature relationship with someone, so maybe you should just be friends for now?

I started dating really early, apparently! But I had some pretty serious relationships when I was twelve/thirteen. No one believes that, but well, sod you, I know it's true.

Hey! We get driven around by his parents quite a bit, it's convinient when you can't drive, and we've been going out for 2 years...I don't get how that can mean it isn't dating...tt's not the driving around, it's being 12 that usually stops it from working out. Unless you're Knittin Kitten.

^ That's a good point too. Tim's 22, we've been together over six months, we have a very serious relationship but neither of us drive so of course we have to get lifts from parents.

I really ♥ him! If I ♥ him, does it really matter if we have to get driven everywhere?!?!?!? I ♥ him so, I'll do what it takes to be with him!!! If you'd think its not worth it to be driven everywhere, then you're not in love!!

Best defence ever.

I wasn't saying that being driven everywhere means you are not in love. That was not what I was implying. I was saying that it is difficult to keep a decent relationship while at the age where you have to be driven everywhere. My point is, at a young age, it's difficult to have a serious relationship. If you really love him like you say you do, and if you are being defensive saying "If you'd think its not worth it to be driven everywhere, then you're not in love!!" Then why are you making it such a big deal that people are talking about your relationship with him? If you are worried about what people think about him, then is it really love? In a relationship, you should feel confident and trust one another not to dump eachother for some silly reason like people talking about your relationship. I just don't believe at 12 years old anyone is mature enough to handle a serious realationship.

I disagree KT. I don't think this particular girl is mature enough to deal with a serious relationship, but I wouldn't apply that logic to anyone. If you have to use an animated heart, you don't care enough.

OMG YOUR POOR POPULARITY!!!!

oh shut up. you cant love a guy at 12. just shut up and get off whatever drug youre on because you need to CHILL, girl.

I'm ignoring that!!!

I am mature enough!!! I just don't think my life should revolve around my boyfriend! I care what other people think of me, but that's only because they treat unpopular people like dirt!!!

What grade are you in? 7th/8th grade?

Once you get into High School you're going to be submerged into an entirely different environment.


You can't be in love at 12 years old because frankly, your brain hasn't developed enough to decide. Sure you may feel that now, but believe me, when you age a little more, you'll be seeing things in a completely different perspective.

I agree with chelsea. You are only young yet. When you get older you will find out the difference between infatuation and love
