I'm looking for girls to answer this. Especially if your in the "popular" group at your school. Most girls in that group at my school tend to only go out with the guys that are there friends which seems really odd to me.
But I really like a girl from that group, I'm basically a step below them. Like they all know me and I used to be friends with most of the guys but I never hang with any of them. So girls. How important is social class to you?
To be honest, it does lower your chances, but it can happen. The only thing that makes it hard is that you would have different sets of friends and would both have to compromise. But I think if a girl really likes you, which group you associate with doesn't matter much. I've seen it work.
Ok, when I was in high school I was sort of more of a hippie, artsy girl, and most of my group was like that, however one of my friend, also very much so an artsy hippie was dating one of the cheerleaders.
Personally, social class doesn't mean too much to me at all.
There are some girls that won't date out of their "class" but you don't want those girls anyway.
