Being single as a teen?

Hey folks. just joined and i have a big question regarding being single as a teenager male. I was involved in a serious relationship when i was in grade 10 which was quite young and it lasted a year. i was more involved with sports around that time and before which meant i had little time to think and be bored around the house. Now that im in grade 12 and single i have had plenty of little flings but i have ruined ALL OF THEM by being really pushy towards the relationship instead of letting it just happen and being really cool about it all. What advice does some people have regarding enjoying being single, things to do as a kid as well as how to play it cool within the beignning stage of engaging a relationship? thanks : )

Being single as a teen?
Well, I'm a senior, male, and single. About being pushy, I find it best to become someone's friend before going out with them. That makes it feel much more comfortable for you and especially for her.





Along that line, I would say that being single is great for that fact that you are much more free to pursue meaningful friendships with girls. When you have a girlfriend, she will most likely get jealous and not let you hang out with other girls; but when you are single, you are free to befriend anyone you want. The number of good friends you can have literally doubles when you are allowed to enter friendships with both guys and girls. So, you this situation to become closer to girls; you will start to understand how they think and what they want. That kind of information will probably become pretty useful to you one day.

I myself, am one of the rare kinds that prefer to be single. Every time I get a relationship, I wish I was single again.





My trick is simple; learn to be independent. And I mean really, independent. I know you are younger, but when I moved out on my own, away from roommates, I finally learned how to be comfortable with myself for who I am. I enjoy going on trips by myself or car rides, I go to movies by myself and sometimes just sit around my apartment by myself.





I have gotten so used to it, that I don't mind myself anymore. I have great self-esteem and this shows. I still have tons of friends and see them a ton, but I allow ample time for me to just be by myself. Your own company is the best you can have!





Next time you have some time, rent a movie by yourself, order a pizza, and sit back and just watch it. Turn off your phone for a day and just enjoy yourself. Thats the best advice for not only relationships, but life in general. Once you get comfortable with yourself, you can be a better friend, boyfriend, father, husband, etc. etc. Hope this helps in some way.

Reply:Being in a relationship is over rated......funny enough we all want to be in one. When your in one, you want out and when your not in one you want in :) Another "the grass is always greener on the other side" situation.





Just enjoy being single. Take advantage of it. Go out and have fun, spend your money freely, party, flirt and date. Have good time. When someone you really like comes along go slow. Sometimes after being in a long term relationship you bring that 'past' into a new relationship with you expecting the same from them as you had with your last significant other. You jump steps is what I am trying to say. Watch that. Allow the other person to be their own person. Do not try to own them. As the old saying goes, "let them go and if they come back to you, you know it's ment to be". That saying is very true.
Reply:i think you need to enjoy being single and become comfortable with yourself. it helps you alot when you're in a relationship%26gt; If your relaxed and confident within yourself then your relationship will flow alot better. The both of you will just have fun. i think thats the best thing for the first stage to just have fun together and get to know each other better, dont take it all too seriously.


If you're not sure what to do with yourself cuz your single why not just hang out with mates, meet some new people and see whats out there.


Just make sure you have fun.


hope ive helped a little bit :)
Reply:enjoy being single, especially if your in the 12th grade. hang out with your buddies and go play as much football and basketball as you can. its gets harder to get a good game of football together when you come back form college. As for how to play it cool in the beginning of a relationship, playing hard to get really does the trick
Reply:Just have fun. Dont be so serious about the relationship and enjoy it. You are about to enter the real world now and you will exp. a lot of new things and meet a lot of new girls in college (if your going) Just focus on the things you can enjoy about being single like being able to go and do what you want, where you wqant without having to answer to anybody. Being able to chill with your boys or relax when you want without being bothered. Being able to date whoever. Just stop being pushy in the relationships and let them play out, girls dont like guys who act too pressed.
Reply:relationships are complicated! if you do want to be in one with someone, don't jump into it with all seriousness. Be like exclusive friends.
