but you are right in saying that a serious relationship is better than being single...it's all about compatibility.

what I meant by saying "creates the worst goals" is that you start thinking about life with that person and forgo a lot of things that might have been way more beneficial for you (like choosing a worse university just because that person is going there)...now don't argue about why I said "creates the worst goals", i worded it wrongly
Also, I have noticed that being in a relationship in your late teens distances you from your parents (most of the time), which is bad, especially if you have the kinda parents I have

well the thing is, i dont think about how it creates 2 branches of problems which 'adds' stress .. i think that when you're in a relationship, you have someone else there that can SHARE your problems and stress with you...
like sometimes, you get bad mark back or something really crappy happens to you on the way home, does it not make you feel better to talk to your significant other and have them comfort you? Before i got into a relationship, i had a journal and all my crappy moments would be in there and to some degree, it would make me feel better after writing but it obviously wasnt very good at the comforting part...


but when people forgo good choices, i think its because they're thinking short term (i.e. the immediate couple of months or a year ahead) instead of thinking long term and about a life with that person

and i agree with how relationships may distance you from your parents, but i think it really depends and that line can't be said about the majority. In my case, don't kno about anyone else..., after having someone there to share my problems with, i wasnt as afraid to tell my parents about things i would have kept to myself before because i think they might be disappointed or upset with me.. because now, if they ARE upset with me, someone is there to comfort me and i think thats better for my parents cuz they kno more about whats going on in my life, positive or negative...

just my two cents..

I know, personally, that it is my high standards that hold me back. Not the usual "physical measurement" oriented standards either, if I had those "high standards" I would have found someone by now. The list is more like: Smart, interesting, not a sheep, outside of the box, passionate yet reserved, friendly, has rejected society without being jaded by society, independent, healthy and fit but has an inner fatty who loves having me cook for her, not messed up or crazy, someone who doesnt try to be the eternal victim, not brainwashed by society, adventurous, patient enough to put up with me, clever enough to call me on my bullshit. A good smile is important too, it should be nice enough to make me want to do stuff to see it all the time. My imaginary perfect mate only exists in my head, so unless I go crazy or all "vanilla sky", then I am out of luck.

I think there have been mac insiders meet ups? It's not that strange when you all go to the same school and probably take some classes together or are involved in the same thing. This isnt a Yahoo chat room.

Also your standards are typical of a teenager. Having a huge list for finding a mate never works, you dont pick them up in a store. Your standards are not even that high, its just a list and there are plenty of people who fit it. Maybe you just have to get to know more people. Join groups that you are interested in, it likely those people will have qualities you look for.

same could be applied to parents and you would be happy without a partner

and, the thing about more problems...that depends on the kind of person you and your partner are. If you are the kind of person who wants to solve problems yourself (like me), you wouldn't like having more problems surfacing every now and then.

just my 2 paras
