Hiya.
*Emo moment, sorta*
I'm 16, and am a mixin (whee, ruby reference!) of class Person and Modules -
Yeah. Ok. I'm not exactly a complete nerd- I'm 6 feet even, 170 lbs, and athletic, but I'm also learning ruby, made a 30 on my ACT, first shot, and have a tested IQ of 129. I make it a point to be polite whenever I can. Point being, I'm not really your stereotype for either. I've never had a 'girlfriend', but I LOATHE to even THINK of high school 'relationships' as relationships. From what I can tell, people are by NO MEANS mature enough to REALLY AND TRULY CARE about each other - they THINK that they do. EVERY 'couple' will tell you this. Their actions say otherwise, and this is the only comfort that I have been able to offer myself: everyone says that people in college are/will be more mature. However, I find that hard to believe, having seen the shallow side of America...errr.... humanity time and again. I'm not really ALL CONSUMED by it, but I WOULD like to know - although partying and stuff exist in college as well, what are people, and, more specifically, girls like as far as maturity and interest in RELATIONSHIPS, and not the hypocrisy, falsehoods, superfluity, inhumanity, and facade-filled goodness that, for the most part, are high-school relationships popularity contests.
Yeah, I'm cheesy. And if I get ONE reply that's like 'You need to be an ***hole, and go blahblah
"ASSIMILATE TO THE MASSES!"
Then you die. Seriously. 5.7 x 28 mm salvo, coming your way.
And I know that all that "true love" crap is, just that - a load of crap.
So, I suppose that that's where the 'intelligent debate' part comes in - what is the intelligent side to relationships, and how, in your opinions and experience, does maturity and interest in ACTUAL RELATIONSHIPS change through age groups throughout life? Why? Feel free to discuss these and any other questions which you feel like adding to the mix. I'd love to have answers to these, for once...
I think that it can be VERY relevant, as, for the most part, I find that human relationships, and one's search/thoughts for them or interactions with them reflects on core traits common to ALL people. For instance - one of the most significant factors, when it comes to people, is their sense of significance - everyone wants/tries to feel important/wanted/valuable. Point being, you can learn a lot about relationships, but, overall - people.
This has been puzzling me for quite some time....thank you for any help, whatsoever.

Seox out.
