Dear Raestar,
Your standards are your standards. Don’t let other people tell you that you are being too picky. You don’t want to settle for less, and that is fine. You can get to know a guy by hanging out and talking, you don’t have to do anything sexual with them at all. Hang out with guys you want to get to know like you would hang out with your regular friends. Try not to worry about what everyone else has to say about your life. I would like thank you as well, it really means a lot :]
Original submission:
I’m listening So I’m 16 this year and I have never had a boyfriend/fling/REALLY liked someone. My friends tell me it’s because I have really high standards and they make it seem like a bad thing. Is it? It confuses me a lot because I believe in having dignity and stuff and I know its wrong to throw yourself at guys but I can’t see the difference between throwing yourself at them and letting them get to know you? (I don’t know if this makes sense) I have male friends too and they all seem to not understand where I’m coming from. Everybody seems to think I just do not want a boyfriend, but it’s not like that. Then there are those that question how straight I actually am…
I look at my friends who have made mistakes and I know I don’t want to be like that and get myself hurt. Maybe I’m just scared? Sometimes I think my standards are too high or something.
Wow that was long. BTW, I think its awesome and I really admire what you’re doing. Very cool.
