Over here there are hardly any relationships at our high school. Probably because everyone’s too busy being asocial sitting at their laptop and tapping away. The one girl I got to know at our school had a boyfriend in uni (they met through kendo *cough*dreamynovelsmaterial*cough*)… I think what Jean-kun says about high school love sounds true (though I haven’t experienced any of that myself).

Sorry if this is selfish, but I just read through the original post again and thought I might have some stuff to submit to the uber-cool DOPAMINE mailbox. Now, to write it all…

When I was in high school, I found myself shocked when my then-boyfriend (aka ex) told me he loved me. We didn’t even know each other for a whole school year, but he told me anyway. At first I didn’t want anything to do with him because it meant something drastic from just being friends. But against my initial instincts, I gave in. Now that I remember it, he was such a crybaby, I don’t know what I was thinking XDDD Anyway, it turns out that we would be dating for two years. In those two years, I gave him my heart, I really did. I would have done anything and everything for him. He said “I love you” so many times, and he even said he wanted to marry me. But at the end of those two years, he suddenly cut our whole relationship off, saying he didn’t want to deal with pressure from my family, since they didn’t like him. I was so depressed, but then I decided to move on because he wasn’t worth it for me to be so down when he obviously didn’t want to pull through with me. Besides, it was just a high school love, and how many of those do you know actually persist through time. Very, very few, I think.

Anyway, my circumstances might be different from yours, but the message is the same. You’re young, and maybe you think you’re in love now, but who knows what the future might hold for you later. You can tell him you love him, and maybe he loves you back and you guys can have a happy ending, but as the pessimistic realist I am, that might also not be the case. But that’s the great thing about being young: you will have plenty of other opportunities to find what you really what in life.

So really, the choice is up to you. Have faith in yourself, Eigo-chan, because only you know what your heart truly wants, and not what you can only assume it wants. Believe me, there’s a big difference in that last sentence

High school guys can be ridiculously confusing. I suppose its part of growing up - for them to want to be popular amongst the girls. But in the end, its how you, yourself, feel towards him.

Am sorry about the rambling. I wish you luck in whatever you choose to do, Eigo-chan!

I’m like Sia, I like my guy friends just as they are…It’s kinda of creepy to me thinking them as anything else. I mean do you know what I’ve seen these idiots do…hah

Regardless of what you do Eigo-chan I hope it all works out for you. & MitsuiSelphie, I think you gave pretty good advice, even if you say you were just blabbering.
