I was gonna start this post with the question "What has happened to the concept of the Sweetheart?", but then i realised i didn't want your answers, because i already know. It is dead. Dead, smeared in shit and lying at the bottom of a culvert with its clothing snagged on damp sticks. Now i'm not going to pass judgment on this yet, because i'm not actually sure if this is a good or a bad thing, but i will clarify my contention a little.
"Boys/Girls no longer want Boy/girlfriends on the basis of any interest in that particular person, instead modern people seek partners to show people of their OWN sex how virile they are."
Here is what i think is a pretty average example of someones relationship growth-
Age:
13- Get boy/girlfriend, worship them, do everything for them (as the movies suggest)... continue in this way until s/he starts f**king the local bully/slut (almost guaranteed)
14- Repeat.
15- Have sex with local bully/slut as revenge.
16-18- Continue to lose faith in relationships, have throwaway relationships/flings/one night stands, cheat on partners etc.
19- Cant even stand the idea of bothering with another partner b/c there is too much fun to be had elsewhere.
and it goes on...
Well, it's pretty apparent that the whole true love/wooing/soulmate/sweetheart concept is suffering a little here, and you've got to wonder where it went, and if its actually a bad thing that the middle class world is made up of overindulgent and overindulged hedonists like myself and so many others here...
For my actual opinion? Actually i prefer the sluttiness of the modern world, am right in the "cant stand a relationship cos partners are too much of a burden" stage stewing quite happily...
but as for the rest of you? who knows? and that is, after all, why i have asked...

Commitment is a scary thing. In a transient world, sticking to traditional views on relationships ('til death do us part') is seen as somehow antiquated. But for every one-night stand, there's somebody who can get out of a difficult relationship that little bit easier.
Personally, i'll take whatever's on offer.

Who the fuck has a boy/girlfriend at 13?
And am i the only person who thinks losing your virginity at 15 is just a wee bit too soon?

If you string enough one night stands together you can have a very happy life.

You know, you right, but there nothing wrong with that. That's how it's supposed to be when you are young and stupid. Unfortunately some of us never grow up.

Oh just to clarify my position i dont have a "problem" or "issues" with relationships i am just too satisfied to dedicate that much emotional energy to another person... Yes i'm sure this will change but it just seems a little shame to me that "us young'uns" are unwilling to have traditional "sweetheart" relationships in this time of instant gratification.

Peter, how old are you? 20?
You'll be amazed at the changes your feelings regarding this will go through over the next 10 years or so.
Everyone has to go through the ringer of relationships to find out what they really want, but as lonliness is THE human condition, eventually, most of us want to find someone they can imagine spending the rest of their lives with in a partnership with someone. Security becomes much more important when you're older.
Timing is the difficult part (the understatement of my life).
Once you decide you want a commited relationship, just be damned careful you don't put blinders on when it comes to who you choose, and in the meantime, never allow yourself to be pressured into marriage by anyone.

if my boyfriend can be in a relationship with me after having been cheated on repeatedly and continuously by his ex FIANCEE then i think you can get over your issues and have a relationship if you want one. everybody has fucking pain, this is part of life. it's what you choose to do about that pain that reveals your values and your character. if you don't want a relationship, fine. but don't blame it on your past. it's a choice, not a chain.

Unfortunately for me, there are too many guys in your "stage." And I'm 23. I would love someone to love me other than my parents and best friend. *sniffle* I'm lonely *whaaaah... :(*
