Are High School Sweethearts Unrealistic?
Back in the times of our parents, these existed, at least in some sense. More like...it was possible.You could find your special someone right there, sitting behind you in that Spanish class you didn't even want to take but had to because of graduation requirements...and you two could live happily ever after, going on to get married and start a family, getting jobs and the whole she-bang.
It used to be real, like it was for my parents. Then we have people who were high school sweethearts and had been married...decades. and then POOF, divorce. How can you share your life with someone for over twenty years and then just leave?
Nowadays, we have hindrances to this idea, like college, for instance. This huge, ominous figure that could potentially separate you from everyone you've ever known by miles. Everywhere I look, it's breaking up relationships, and those trying to fight the force could have an easier time [insert drastic hyperbole here].
Granted, it's always said that one shouldn't desert his or her dreams to follow the ones he/she loves. And I support this idea; why be unhappy there just to be with the one you love? What if you guys break up? What then? And you shouldn't have to alter your dreams for someone else. This is easily said, but not easily done. How do you just let your significant other just walk out of your everyday life to pursue his or her dreams and put miles of distance and heartache in the gap?
How do you vow to go your separate ways while not separating? Is the idea of a high school sweetheart unrealistic in today's society?
I think in this instance people have to understand that the term "Highschool Sweetheart" is exactly what it is HIGHSCHOOL sweetheart, meaning it expires after high school. People do try and raise the argument that couples back in the day dated in high school and got married and stayed married for years to come. With that being true one has to understand that was generations ago, back then women were perfectly content with staying home and being housewives and did not really have any ambitions and if they did they did not have the opportunity to pursue it. Also another scenario may be that the girl might have foolishly gotten pregnant at the time and abortion was out of the question so therefore they got married out of obligation not love. I feel as though the reason today highschool sweethearts don't last is because of all the opportunities out there. I am a firm believer that if one is not fully happy with themselves they can never be happy with anyone else no matter how hard they try or lie to themselves that they can be, hence they end up blaming their frustrations for not "fulfilling" their life on their partner, which eventually leads to divorce.
Anyone that makes a decision that they are going to marry the person they are dating in high school nowadays, let me be frank the marriage is doomed to fail. Your perception of the world and what you want when you are in high school is completely altered once you leave it. Those who do marry out of high school did not have the chance to experience life and the world, college and high school is two different ball games if even the same game. I can relate to this.
In the old days I was convinced I would marry the boy I was dating in high school because "I loved him". The moment I went away to college and step foot on that campus I wanted out of the relationship. My involvement with him would have hindered my experiences and I would not have been able to learn and grow into who I am today, which despite what others this is a much better person. Also if I decided to "let love conquers all" and stayed in the city to be with him I would have eventually regretted it and taking out all my frustrations on him and we would have broke up eventually. I have to admit breaking his heart and being single through out my college years was not the ideal feeling, but at the end of the day it make me stronger and a better person. Now because I am happy with myself and what I have learned and experience I am able to have a healthier and more progressive relationship.
At the end of the all this is the answer to this bloggers questions. Yes it is unrealistic, I mean if you date in high school break up, date other people and someone find yourself together consider yourself lucky. Yeah you had to separate to be together but you cannot run before you walk.! How people can vow and then separate in the end? They should have NEVER vowed to begin with.! They rushed into it because of an ideal fantasy but when harsh reality hit they could not handle it and decided to leave each other. At the end of the day I am trying to say TAKE your time to be happy with yourself. When they say love conquers all they don't mean love for each other, they mean love for yourself, which believe me is harder to find than a partner.

ALL BETS ARE OFF.!
Before I get down to the task at hand I have to say, HOW SEXY IS OUR NEW PRESIDENT? My god, thank you Jesus for still making men like that and letting him be our president. Barack Obama you are a serious upgrade from Bush, mentally and physically I swear Gossip Girl can be on and it can be the climax of Chuck and Blair getting back together and Obama and interrupt at anytime, I can always youtube that scene but Barack I want to see in pure HDTV sighhhhh...I swear Michelle Obama has to be the second most luckiest woman in America.!
Anyway moving on to the task at hand. This was posted on dating-ish.
I'm (insert name here), I'm 14, and I have a problem.
The guys at my school have this competition going on: it's called "see who can get (name) in bed first". None of them have succeeded because I know about the bet and guys never try to get to know me - they just try to use me for sex. I'm a virgin but I'm not sure if I want to stay that way.
I have this new boyfriend that I really like, but I don't know if he really likes me or if it's just one big act to get me to have sex with him. I know if I do it and it's just part of the competition, I'll be crushed. But if it's sincere and he really likes me, I want to do it.
Help.I cannot see anything right with this entry.! First of all I personally did not lose my Vcard til I was 18 LEGAL.! I honestly think that 14 is way to young to even be thinking that you want to lose your virginity I mean serious do boys even have pubic hair at that age? But none the less I do like the situation, how is a girl suppose to know if the guy likes her or is just in it for the cookie? MAKE HIM WAIT MAKE HIM WAIT. Seriously I read somewhere no matter what guys are always going to be thinking about sex first, whether they want a serious girlfriend is something they think about LATER. So by making him wait longer for sex he begins to be more focused on you and falls in love with you. In this instance even if her boyfriend was in on this thing stupid bet if she plays her V card right he will end up falling in love with her and he would want to wait until she is fully ready. I honestly don't think she is ready to have sex I think she wants to just do it because she is under the watchful eye and society is always pushing sex on to young teenagers. But at the end of the day I honestly think a girl should wait at lease ONE MONTH before she even considered having sex with a guy she is dating virgin or not.! Some men has told me that if a guy is just in it for the sex whether you give it to him right away or a month later he still will leave, I agree with that but if you make him wait long you get to see his true colors and what he is all about, and if he leaves at lease that saves you the trouble and you don't have to be a notch on his belt, but if one feels that they are truly ready to perform an adult act such as sex then one needs to start thinking like an adult an take adult responsibilities and precaution aka RAP IT UP, trust STDs are not cute and it stays with you FOREVER.! But seriously it is best to wait besides sex is so much better when two people are in love.! TRUST
UNTIL NEXT TIME
Take care

Do You Want to Know If someone is checking Your Girl out?
This was posted on datingish
I went work out with my boyfriend and his best friend today, and one thing I noticed is that a lot more people stared at me today. Mind you, most of these people are middle aged to really old Chinese people. I'm a 19 year old Chinese/Vietnamese girl and my boyfriend is white; his best friend is also white. So, yes. I did get a lot of weird looks and stares. But that's not the point of this blog.
We did some cardio, and I wanted to do some more, but the guys didn't. I told them they could just go do weights while I finished. I walked over to them, and they were in the free weights section of the room. I felt like there was too much testosterone for me, so I went over to the weight machines and started working on my legs. Now, when I work out, I tend to look around at people a lot. After my first two sets, I stopped and looked around. I found one guy looking over his shoulder at me and when I made eye contact with him, he turned back around and continued his reps.
I looked around again, and this guy in front of me was blatantly watching me use the machine. I asked if he needed the machine. He smiled and said no. So I continued on my third set, only to see out of the corner of my eye another guy looking at me. Normally when I work out, I work out with my friend, and I don't notice the people around me. But when I'm alone, I tend to notice more and more people looking, which didn't bother me too much. But for some reason today it did. I finished my 5th set and walked over to my boyfriend. I told him that there were too many guys watching me. His face and attitude completely changed. He became stubborn and moody.
We three decided to go have some pho, and while we were waiting for our food, my boyfriend went to the restroom and his best friend asked me if I was annoyed with something. I told him I just didn't understand why he was all moody. He told me it was probably because I told him that other guys were checking me out. This threw me for a loop. I thought he would want to know if something like that happened. He said that the opposite would be what should happen. "He doesn't want people checking you out, so he wouldn't want to know if they are".
Is that true? Do guys not want to know if someone is checking out their girls? Honestly, I'd want to know if some girl was gawking at my guy. But maybe it's different between the genders. Girls, do you want to know if some girl is checking your guy out? Should I not have said anything?This was my response
sweetie you have to understand. men are like HUNTERS they love the chase and feel proud when they get it. So if another guy is checking you out, in his mind another tiger is trying to get to his tigeress, so he becomes defensive aka stubborn and moody. It is true men dont like it, to them its a pride thing, to you you should take it as flattery. In a way it might be insecurity but for the most part is about pride. Also the fact that he is white and dating an asian girl he knows that he has a good thing, he also knows that he has become somewhat of a target in the asian men community (asian men hate the fact that white men are 'stealing' their women *roll eyes*) the best thing to do is not to provoke him futhur but just give his ego a lil stroke, remember what they say when you stroke a mans ego for a minute, you have him for LIFE. At the end of the day try to relation and empathize with him, do you want other white girls staring at him? would you like it? would you want to be told?
In addition to it being a pride thing, if you tell him that not only did you take a punch to his pride, you also let him know that you are paying attention to these wackass dudes checking you out, which makes it a punch and a kick as well. At the end of the day with this situation ignorance is bliss, he knows deep inside that dudes check you out, he just doesnt want to be told about it. For the most part guys dont really care, they actually sometimes find it comforting that his girl is being checked out, it shows that he is not dating a busted chick. After all Omarion said it himself "who wants a girl that no dude chase?"

Frat Boys
This is the blog submitted to datingish.comI just don't understand why I can't get over him. It was one night - one night of dancing at a strip club, making out and then holding hands. Nothing too hardcore by today's standards. But I remember feeling distinctly guilty as he moved his tongue in my mouth and playfully touched my hair while a ghetto rap song blasted in the background. Him pulling my miniskirt up. Feeling my thong. Putting his sweaty head on my shoulder. Buying me a beer. "What's your major?" he asked me.
Outside, his cousin said, "You were getting hot and heavy with Rob there, huh? He and Claire broke up two days ago - his girlfriend of two years. You were at the right place at the right time."
On the ride back he didn't speak a word, not even to ask for my phone number when we said goodbye.
I was little too buzzed by my first beer to notice my rejection. Then the next day came and the knife of his rejection began to pierce my heart little by little. Seeing him around campus and having him talking to me like nothing happened would bandage my heart a little, only to have it ripped harder and cut faster every time I would see him with another girl.
I just had a dream that we were on the phone, talking casually, like we were friends. Then when I woke up, I wanted to die because it was only a dream.
Why can't I just get over him?
My response
First thing is first, this was such a well written blog.
Sigh FRATBoys a topic I hate to say that I know all to well. I went to a pretty diverse college and not only was I exposed to frat boys, I was exposed to different races. YES every kind, now I am not saying that I have messed with all of them, but i have seen friends have healthy relationships and some have toxic ones. Let me make one thing clear, for the most part I AM NOT SAYING ALL but for the most part Frat Boys are insecure, most of them joined the frat cuz their own personalities couldn't get the girl. I have seen men go from losers to a hot commodity just by putting three greek letters on his chest. There are the good kinds but those are the humble ones that don't flash his letters and play a girl, those boys are like searching for a needle in a hay sack so don't even bother.
For this particular case, there is no reason for her to be this dramatic and heartbroken about it. He just broke up with his girl for two years, do you really want someone else garbage? At lease wait a while til he gets recycled into a new bottle, you don't want the old bottle with her icky germs all over it. Another thing, it is college, this is the only time that his frat boy swagga is going to get him any type of play, so he just wants to have fun, so you guys made out went to second base whatever, move on. Who cares if he is talking with another girl? Would you rather be monogamous and then have him cheat on you? If you think this episode is like a knife cutting through you then him cheating on you and having the whole campus know about it is like being burned alive with knives and arrows being shot at you, might as well throw in a gun in there as well. You cant get over him because maybe he dumped you before you got to dump him cuz its a PRIDE thing. Or you just had this fantasy build into your head about having a relationship with him and it being so cool cuz he a frat boy, that is a LUST thing. At the end of the day you will, trust me later on you will not regret the fact that he left you, in fact you might look back and see him with this other girl and say "thank god it wasn't me" I know I have. But I also know no matter what i say i am nothing but a stranger, so you will probably ignore this and go about your merry miserable way.!
Until the next time,
xoxo you know you love me
