There are a lot of people who never get out of high school mode. I'd rather not spend time around those people. You'll find plenty of people in life who appreciate what it is you bring to the table.

I don't regret going to school dances, but you're not missing much either. It's an experience, sure.

I get the current trend, but you don't have to buy into the juvenile stupidity.

“Don’t spend money on another man’s future wife”. This was the advice I got from

This is not good advice. You should date a bunch of people and have fun.

Correct. Mine is not great advice, especially given the source who gave it to me

ChiCityCoug

On the other hand, it IS good advice to not spend money on another man’s wife.

Because the hope is someone else is spending money on your future wife

I heard that advice a lot. I don't think it's great advice. There's a benefit

You should date lots of women while spending as little on them as possible.

Yeah I never had anything remotely romantic with this girl. I wouldn't want to remain in contact with any of the girls I

If he plans on staying in the church, there will be plenty of cliques…

Why do you need a group to go to Prom? Ask your date, and if she says yes

It's not prom, try to keep up.

It stinks, but keep your chin up. College dating is 100% better than HS dating

Go outside of the normal "groups" you've been asking to be included in.
