AboutDan Expertise Being a senior in high school, I have been through it all. High school's been the best and worst years of my life. I can answer anything from relationship problems to self image issues. I have been to many schools and I know how hard it is to make friends and want nothing more than to be accepted. I've learned patience and acceptance and I just want to help you guys out in any way I can =)
Ask away!
Experience I have been a camp counselor several times in the past. Whenever some of the kids I was looking after had a problem they came to me to help work it out.
Organizations Not really religious, but I help out the community church down the road by playing saxophone and piano for them whenever they put on a production.
Education/Credentials I'm a senior in high school and therefore have first hand knowledge of the subject.
Awards and Honors I'm an Honor Role student and I received the top academic award for my grade last year (the Dux award).
Question First of all my name is Nicole and I'm only 15.. hence why I'm so confused.
I'm going out with a guy named Josh.. and we have only been together for a month as of yesterday. Lately I ave been thinking alot about how much a I care about him and how much I love having him around and how he makes me insanely happy.
Yesterday I told him I loved him. We had talked about it before cause he knew how much I liked him, and I believe that I do, like 100%. But even if I'm so sure.. how do I know?
Also me and him have gone farther than every guy I have been with and he is a Mormon. We are not breaking any of the rules but we both really enjoy the physical stuff but how do I enjoy it enough but not have it take over the emotional side of our relationship?
Another thing I wanted to know is.. Do high school relationships last very often? I'm texting Josh right now and I just realized how much it would hurt if we broke up, I don't need him.. but I want him.. it would really suck if we broke up.. Please Help Me! =(
Answer Well I was in love for the first time when I was fifteen/sixteen, and I never have been since so it's perfectly possible to be when you're that age.
I don't understand how physical stuff would hurt the emotional side of your relationship? I understand that you may not believe in that stuff for religious reasons but it really shouldn't hurt a relationship at all unless you're both really young, but fifteen/sixteen's the normal age (in western society at least).
And yeah, high school relationships can last ages. I went out with someone for nine months, my friend went out with someone for two years, another couple I know have been going out for six years, it just depends on how well you guys click.
