How important is romance to you?

[Twiliscael 3,960]

I honestly don't care much about romance at the moment. I mean, I'm 14... I really don't need one. My main concerns should be about grades and having fun (which they are) not getting laid, like alot of kids I know are. That's why I don't care for a relationship. Hell, I rejected a girl, who was surprisingly hot pretty and popular because I didn't care for them nor did they seem to care for me until then.

 

Anyway, boize rool, gurls drool.

[~Chaos~ 3,967]

At this moment in my life, it's definitely not at the top of my list, I feel before I get involved with any of that kind of stuff, I need to figure out my own life first. I'm pretty sure it would just cause unneeded issues to deal with, but that doesn't mean in the future I wouldn't want to find that someone that is right for me.

 

It's just a matter of time I guess, but as of right now, Nnope!

[Confetti Nova 58]

Not really to me since I'm still a minor. It's important to have it if your in a relationship though. But I rather see romance in shippings then anywhere else.

[Sepia-chan 495]

I have a soft spot for romantic stuff, (DEM SHIPPINGS) but I have no desire to pursue a relationship this early in my life.

[Pan the Fabulous Ferret 2,642]

I have never really understood why young teens "date". It really makes no sense to me...

Well, I must say that I feel like a big Hypocrite right now. What is this madness?

 

Im sure there was a good reason that I once believed this... but sonmeone showed me the light.

[termenchecks 146]

i'm only 15. why would i care about getting a girl/boyfriend now? i just wanna go to concerts and fuck shit up like a free spirit.

[spaghettinoodles 298]

I am not a romantic type at all. I never even think about it. It doesn't seem appealing, it seems like too much work, and I see so many people in relationships complaining about their significant others. Also, never in my life would I get married, that's a terrifying idea, to be dependent and tied down to one person forever....People think it's weird, but I want to live alone.

I feel kinda the same way about relationships and stuff of that nature. To be honest I don't worry about it at all. I feel that when the time is right it will come. At the time being I have so much other stuff to be focused on like College and just enjoying hanging out with friends. Plus I feel sorry for those who are consumed about wanting to be in a relationship...

 

But it is important to make new friends and introduce yourselves to others. You never know you may meet someone with similar interests to you ! I would rather be patient and date someone that has similar interests with me, than dating the first girl I see because I'm desperate to have a girlfriend.

[TheFabulousPony 102]

I find it extremely important to have a special somepony/companion... I have never had a boyfriend and it is torture for me.. Constant torture.

[~WhiteHawk~ 186]

Ehh, I have mixed feelings about dating. I'm a very mistrusting person, so not many are able to get close to me. Not to mention I'm only a teenager and dating isn't my top priority.

 

Though, at the moment I want someone to be there for me in a more friendly than romantic sense. Just someone that I can trust. I do have a silly little teenage crush at the moment, but they are dating someone. Plus, they're my best friend so I doubt they'll be interested in anything more than being friends. I don't worry about it much, though I do feel lonely at times and wish I did have someone to turn to. I don't get the chance to talk to my friends much because of me being homeschooled, so I guess it's natural to be lonely.

 

But I don't focus on dating. Mainly because I seriously doubt anyone would be willing to date me anyway, and I'm just trying to finish up school as fast as possible. I'm not very pretty, nor am I the kind of person that's easy to get along with. No one wants to date a sarcastic bitch with weird interests and an obsession with the internet, video games, and random television shows like MLP and Doctor Who. I'm not looking for a very romantic relationship like most people my age. I want someone I can be openly weird and crazy around, who will also be there for me if I'm depressed or angry. Not someone who only cares about kissing. :/ though someone to cuddle with wouldn't be bad.

[Akemi Homura 7,680]

I'm not gonna lie. I'm 14 and dating. It's a young age, yes, but I think it's an accaptale age to be dating. Telling a 14 year old "you're too young to be dating" is like telling someone to stop crying because they broke their leg. You don't know what their feeling. If I am wrong tell me otherwise.

 

As for the romance thing, it's something I wasn't looking for when I found my girlfriend, it was just something that I felt and needed to tell her.

 

No, you're absolutely right. People need to learn how to be more sympathetic, because ending up crying is a part of the whole life experience everyone expects out of you, yet don't give you a whiff of time because they think it's too immature. That includes romantic break ups and such.

 

I think people roll their more on the thought that teenagers know much about relationships as a slacker knows about algebra. They need help from the right people - the right way, and not through pictures plastered with melodramatic quotes that you find on Facebook.

[XUNUSEDXXX 3,459]

Meh, I'm fourteen and it really doesn't mean a whole lot to me. It will matter in the future for me of course, but I don't care for dating at this age (yes, I have had opportunities, but denied them). I don't mind if people date around my age, but I don't do it.

To be completely I felt the same way when I was your age, and even up till a few days ago... But things just sorta happen when you least expect them to.

Did something lovey dovey happen to you? Lol I kid. But yea, I did have my attractions towards girls my age, but I got over them.

[Pan the Fabulous Ferret 2,642]

Umm, you could say that... Best thing to happen to me on the forums! Funnily enough I was the first one to respond to this topic, and now I am a hypocrite for it!

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

I couldnt give a damn about romance, I've been stabbed in the back far too many times, not many people have loyalty nowadays. ah well, I'm happier on my own and I'm not going to let a disloyal woman ruin it for me

[Driku12 64]

Well, I think a good quote to use for this is probably from the movie, Captain America. "A strong man is used to strength, and does not value it, but a weak man knows the value of it, because he did not have it before. And it will seem all the more special to him once he has it" or something like that (I'm just sort of paraphrasing, lol). Basically, just replace 'strength' with 'love' and there you go. I've seen guys with tons of girlfriends who don't really give a shit, but someone like me who's barely ever even gotten a friendly hug knows how valuable romantic things are, because I've never really had a romantic experience (by that I mean a scenario where both parties are in love with each other, yadda yadda yadda) So really, it's the experience that makes the view in my opinion.

 

To answer the original question, yes. Romance is pretty important to me.

[Retro*Derpy 3,185]

Romance should be a concern after you have accomplished happiness in your own heart. So it is about midway in my list, my own happiness should be achieved first, for if I'm not happy, what well rub off if I get a "special pony"? Nothing but sadness, and if you truly love the person you wouldn't do something like that to'um. 

[Zygen 6,066]

Eh I dunno, I have a crush on a certain girl and i'm 15 a freshman in highschool, but I'm not sure how important it is, I mean I've been single 15 years now, so I guess its not terribly important to me.

 

However I do think I'd like to you know eventually get married sometime down the line.

[~Master~ Button Mash 2,307]

As with pretty much everything else in my life, I don't really know anymore. I just want to feel a real emotional connection with someone of the opposite sex for once. At the same time, I know I shouldn't bother because pretty much everything else seems like a clusterfuck right now, but at the same time it's still nagging on me and it creates a vicious cycle. It's like I know I need to start working through my life, but all the negatives and dwelling on them keeps dragging me down and preventing any real progress. No progress = more negativity. Cycle continues indefinitely.

 

After I write this, I'll fall asleep with empty arms. And tomorrow, another night with empty arms. The next night? Empty arms. And so on and so on.

 

I've gotten used to loneliness. Whether that means I've given up on romance or not...I don't know anymore.

[ActFast231 432]

Funny thing, until a few weeks ago, socializing for me could faff off. So naturally I have never dated or experienced love before. Considering that my brother is 14 (I of course being 16) and has already done all this, that just makes me look less. For lack of a better word.

[Steel Crescent 841]

I find romance to be important.I would not date someone based just on their looks.I look past this and try to find someone who isn't a complete tool(like most the people iv'e met).Sadly im far from good looking and no one seems to give me a chance.They look at my a face and run.

[Pinguino~ 85]

Romance.... how to put this... how to reply... Oh yes i got it! Romance is not something that people put at the top of their list for if you search for something the odds of finding it are lessened. You will want to find it out of the blue. Mabye a wandering passerby or a co-worker or even that adorable chick at the edge of your class that you are too shy to talk to… It will strike you and it will be ruthless… But on my list hmmm well it is no longer a number I have the one for me now it is about making my special somepony feel special and loved!

[WhiteLightning 339]

Well it is pretty important for me.. to an extent. More or less, one side of me really cares about it and another side doesn't really give a buck about it at all.

 

Then again I can't say I have experience. I have never dated or experienced love, and probably never will...

[Windwaker 194]

I'm 14, and I still haven't gone on a date. But I still have my RP!

 

Forever alone

 

In all seriousness, I think romance is kind of important...
