girlfriends/boyfriends issue, why? Options

[chopstix-ninja]

This topic is more towards todays middle school children. Why have children today have such huge intent on having a gf/bf? Are they curious about the opposite gender? or is having a temporary soul mate "Just For Show"? Has public media encouraged such relationships at such young age? Or have older kids influenced them?

Why do us human beings "Go Out" with the opposite gender, knowing that we would not marry?
Is it because we enjoy the attention from friends? Or maybe we feel it is required. But WHY?



I am quite amazed at how 12 yr old kids have gf/bfs, I ask myself "why?" and I could never come up with a concrete answer.

NOTE: I write stupid things when I'm ready to go to school agian, lack of girls causes my brain to spaz

I didn't really get into the dating game seriously till like my freshman year in College. Sure I dated here and there, I had my fair share of girls, but now a days I feel like that I am getting mature enough to better myself and find someone that life would be worth being with. When you date you don't think of the possibility that you won't get married, cus if you do think that you are going to break up then why even start a relationship. I went into relationships in high school, just for the company and all that good stuff about a relationship. But, mostly for the experience and the knowledge I need to know for future girls or my wife to be. I say stumble early and the consequences won't be as harsh, but if you stumble in your late years it might be to late.
In middle school, you have many things to influence the way you act. May it be older siblings or friends or even television. But, either way its part of life and its been happening for years and years. It will always happen for many years to come.
