It's funny and a little sad when I hear my friends talking about how they have to keep up a cool exterior to keep a girlfriend. That's how I usually predict the length of their relationship -_-;; to me, at least, the point of a relationship is to be able to be yourself (but with someone!), no judgments. For example, hiding the fact that you play SC2 is an insta-sign of relationship failure. Nerds should be proud, and nerd-gfs should be proud of that.

Depends how stable they are. Mine wants only for me to be successful in school. Other girls want you to drop out and spend time with them. While one can see that staying in school no matter what is the best course of action (and believe me, it is), women are NOT LOGICAL.

Few people are mature enough for a real relationship in high school. Any super-relationships in my high school didn't last into October as soon as university started. Bang all the sluts you want - I wish I did - but don't think that you're going to find miss perfect.
Life is not about making due with what you have; it's about finding out just how much you can achieve. Never settle for anything less than the best. - - - Read my blog!

You seem to have had some bad experiences. A relationship only is "hard work" if things aren't running the way they should be. You're giving bad advice if you recommend avoiding relationships in general, because in the best case, something good may come out of it, and in the worst case, it's a way to learn some lessons for life.

"Wanna bang sluts? Do it! Wanna find Miss Perfect? Hope you're not in High School!"

Hmm, what other topics can we extend this new found logic to?

what ever could go wrong with in an environment where there are raging hormones, no inhibitions, thousands of gallons of cheap booze and sorority mixers where the winner is the girl who fills her stomach up with semen the quickest????

This is terrible advice. I shouldn't have to explain why, should I?

If you have to spend so much time studying that you don't have time for personal relationships, you are missing out on the most important lessons you can learn at university.

And not learning to balance stress, work, and being in a relationship is a recipe for disaster if you end up wanting to be with someone down the line. The advice in this blog is essentially saying to stay away from a relationship as long as you have work to do, as it is too much of a distraction. You do realize that once you have a career, you will have just as much or more work to do, right? What about people who value friendship and love over getting grades?

Now that's probably the dumbest blog I've read on TL so far. You're just putting everyone in the same pot (dunno if that saying exists like that in english). There are actually people who can manage 2 things at the same time. Only because you couldn't doesn't mean that everyone's like you.

Especially this made me laugh a little inside:

Are you telling people that have never been in a relationship to not even try because it might not be worth it? And I'm not even gonna comment on the second one, that's actually pretty funny imo^^

Totally misleading blog name. Also, that wasn't very helpful for anyone. You dont tell ppl, hey dont have gf and get into serious relationship if you dont want to work on it, or stay alone if you dont want to commit yet. Most ppl already know that, and if they dont, they should and will learn that soon. I have been in over 40 relationships in last few years, with girls junger 5-6 years than me and girls older 7-8 years than me and i still think every day about relationships and learn something new from every new one. I see kids and even ppl my age (21) getting into "serious" relationships while they are just kids and havent experience anything in life and learned nothing about love or commitment and they are already planning to have a child and are moving in together. Problem is that everyone around them (but they dont) see that that kind of stuff is really wrong and is going to ruin their lives. Ok, grats to those who "make it" and live happily ever after, but most ppl i know that are rushing things up are a total mess now and acting really retarded when they are together becouse they are too young and inexperienced for that kind of life. Im glad about you and yours gf and i value relationships that went trough a lot, but im just saying that you shouldn't give "tips" about gf just because of that. Because, lets say you break up one day, you find new love etc etc and im pretty sure if you are happy with it that you will realize that you can never be too experienced to talk about it and that every new person that you meet can give you whole new perspective on life.

1. I'm talking about general relationship advice versus targeted advice about YOUR relationship. Don't let people around you influence your relationship. Relationship advice about relationships in general is cool.
2. That sentence was talking about High School. High School is the biggest waste of time of our lives, and everyone gets it wrong thinking about the social aspects of it when schooling is all that matters. Girlfriends have the potential to draw you away from that. Even in university you should be cautious of this. Having a girlfriend itself can be a good thing, but it's like being successful in life - it requires blood, sweat, and tears along the way.
3. Be single, don't be lonely. If you stumble upon someone who turns out to be great then you'll recognize it, but don't think you NEED that.


If you're always aiming to get the maximum amount of efficiency out of life you're going to have a rather dull one. You could also argue that you shouldn't have a girlfriend while you're working, because she'll detract from your 16 hour days/7 days a week schedule. How are you going to get promoted if you aren't dedicating everything to your job?!

I know plenty of people who met their wives in high school, and who are incredibly happy and successful now. I went through high school focusing on the social aspects of it, and still got into the program I wanted at the university I wanted. It's all about balance.

Life isn't about maximizing efficiency - rather, life is about maximizing utility. The more utility, ie happiness you get out of life, the better off you will be. If getting you a girlfriend gives you a lot of happiness, then I don't see the big deal.

My girlfriend and I have been going out of 3.5 years and will one day be married. We started going out after 1st year university. We have had many arguments and gone through many rough times together both with each other and in our respective lives. It has been a lot of work, still is, and still will be, but in the end all that matters is that we're with each other.


I'm in the exact same situation. I met my girl in my first year (law school) and 3 years later we are still together. We also had a lot of arguments and it's damn hard to give her what she deserves. I have so much work and I would like to do those things that I can't do anymore when I'm married, like for example playing starcraft (I don't see myself playing when I have kids). I'm pretty sure that she will become my wife in a few years =)

Wish I hadn't started playing Starcraft in high school.

I remember on the morning of my first day at high school, I was playing Starcraft until 3 AM.
