Perhaps I sound bitter in this question but this is actually an observation I've made based on my own self. I dated a girl in high school, and I did not get very much out of it. Yes, I gained some experience into how dating should be, but that is something that I could have learned as I become older. I suppose the message that I am trying to convey is that one should postpone the instant gratification of an immediate relationship for a more meaningful one in the future. All of that free time could be spent getting good grades, making new friends, or developing a new skill. Not only will these things boost your self-esteem, it will make you a more appealing bachelor or bacherlorette. Your happiness and identity should not be solely dependent on a significant other. Rather, you should be in control of yourself and until you are capable of becoming independent, I do not think you are ready for a relationship. That's just my two cents. Agree or disagree, this is what I have learned and experienced.
