Tips On High School Dating

Dating when you’re at high school can be a dream or a nightmare! To avoid embarrassment, hurt and humiliation, we’ve got a few tips to help keep you top of the pile and evade any difficult situations.

1. Keep it to yourself unless you want everyone to know.
It sounds cynical, but if you’re going to attempt any romantic gestures to ensnare your crush, be aware that they could – if they were mean – show these things to others around your high school. If you write a heart felt love letter, or record yourself singing a love song for them, and they don’t reciprocate the feelings then that letter or MP3 could find itself around the entire campus within hours.

2. Keep it light hearted.
If you start lusting over someone who doesn’t feel the same way about you, then you are guaranteed to heading to a dark place. If you still fancy someone after they have rejected you, try to keep it as low key as possible, or else you will be ridiculed. Plus, the object of your affection might not actually WANT you to know his timetable inside out and turn up outside their every class…

3. Realise that love can happen many times in life.
Your high school sweet heart may seem like the only person you could ever love right now, but in years to come you may look back on your college life and think you took it too seriously. Love can happen many times in your life as long as you are open to it happening.

4. Try group dates.
Double dating can be a good laugh, and takes the pressure off of you being alone with your crush. Go for pizza, catch a movie or hold a small house party (if you’re allowed!)
