Folowup to my last poll

When you were young and dating a guy, were you happy as long as things were relatively good, or did you start itching to try out some other guys after a while with one?

    I liked it while I was happy, but once it got boring, I was ready to jump ship.

    Most of my college relationships only lasted a semester anyway, so I didn't really have time to get bored.

    I actually only really dated 1 guy in HS. HS sweetheart and all that. After I found out he was being inappropriate with other women I jumped ship. Other than that I just made a lot of bad decisions.

    I've always been a one guy kind of girl. I would notice a cute guy, but didn't have that drive to cheat. I've never cheated.

    I don't cheat either.  It was always off with the old, on with the new.  My attention span was roughly 3 months.

    Usually I'd get bored after I slept with them. I'd move on pretty quickly after that. We would usually stay friends though.

    I usually only dated one guy at a time - although for a while, I actually had a 5 person long waiting list. (I used to be a lot cuter/thinner 7-8 years ago.)

    I teased DH about this when we first started dating - he better stay in line, cause if he didn't, there was a waiting list.

    i did not interpret kuus's question as being about cheating. 

    i cheated on college bf and i do not feel badly about it at all.  not that i would do it again, but we were just not that into each other anymore, and we should have ended it about a year previous.

    I too am surprised that it's being interpreted that way.  I was just thinking of how when people on the Nest talk about marrying at 20something a guy they've been dating since they were 15 or so, I always wonder how they're not tired of each other even if they're both terrific, compatible people who enjoy each other.

    I took it that way because you said "itching to try out other guys."

    I would assume that most 20 year olds would either cheat or break up with the guy once they got that itch.

    Even if I wasn't necessarily bored, and I still liked the guy I was with, I'd opt out when I started wanting to date around again.

    i just cannot imagine marrying the dude that i was dating at 16, even when i was 16. i don't feel bad about the college cheating because i was not ready to be serious, and neither was he, but we were just too lazy/stupid/proud to break up with each other.

    i will say this -- having hs friends who had the intercourses with their boyfriends -- and seeing how totally emotionally unprepared they were for it, and after -- really colored my perceptions of premarital sex.  the fact that these girls were absolutely devastated when the guys -- good guys! -- moved on made sure i kept the knees together throughout high school. 

    and i'm not saying the guys were blameless.  these dudes weren't ready for sexing either.

    YES.  I had the same sort of experience.

    I had a boyfriend for 4 months when I was 16, and that was it until I got to college. 

    Fun fact: He's out of the closet now.

    H, I know the 2 major reasons why I didn't give it up in HS.

    1. The reason you gave.
    2. My mother's medical book on stds For reals.

    Plus, I didn't have a burning desire to try it out.

    NOLA, NO KIDDING.  i shudder when i think about hpv -- i read some horror story about having them burned off your junk drawer.  i know it doesn't hurt, but what the what -- acid and junk are not like milk and cookies.

    I got all that info from Sassy magazine.  It's a shame girls today don't have that to read.

    I wish I had it to show any future kids.

    It would turn into story time, "Ok, girls now we're going to look at gonorrhea."

    She was so wrong, but also so right.

    I stood so firm in my belief that I wouldn't have pre-martial sexes that when I did I even surprised myself and then figured that I should stay with them FOR-EVA because what we experienced had never before been experienced by anyone in the whole wide world.

    Then he was smart enough to end things with my clingy self and I realized that I might as well embrace the fact that I had already comprimised and definitely did not keep my knees together, as you put it. I don't think that the clingy part went away fully though until I was a year or so into a bad marriage. Then I grew up a fair bit (see original post)
