I was that weird kid when I was young. I had childhood crushes start popping up when I was around 15 but I never pursued any of them. I realized that I was letting myself be influenced by the kids around me who did have girl/boy friends...
I was that weird kid when I was young. I had childhood crushes start popping up when I was around 15 but I never pursued any of them. I realized that I was letting myself be influenced by the kids around me who did have girl/boy friends and that there was really no one that I felt was really for me. When I got to high school I was actually bullied over the fact that I didn't have a boyfriend or an interest in having one (amongst other things. I loathed high school lol). The bullying just made me feel that I was right and that everyone in school was a jerk and so my come back response to people was that I refused to date anyone until I was in college because everyone in high school was *insert some colorful language lol*. Ended up that I wasn't lying lol. At 19 I took my first college class and met a guy and we started dating. Since then we have been together just over 7 years and we got engaged last year So overall I think I was a late bloomer on the dating scene but I feel it led me to being able to find someone perfect for me. I feel really lucky because not only is he my fiance but he has also become my best friend, which I feel is important.
TrueVampiress- I think you did good in talking to your son. The only thing I would say is that the issue can be "serious" enough in the 4th grade that a ruined "romance" can end a good friendship. That happened to me and my classmate that I adored so much. We did everything together and we were "going out" although we never held hands or anything like that in the 4th grade! I was devastated and humiliated when he started paling around with another girl and it completely ended our friendship. I cried for weeks! I also think it's cool that your son asked you about this. Says a lot about your relationship and the fact he feels comfortable bringing this stuff to you- that's just beyond awesome!
10 is very early. People would flip around here if you started before highschool.
Every year of elementary school, starting with kindergarten, I'd pick a boy to be my boyfriend whether he knew it, wanted to be or not. Lol, kids.
