[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both my kids, DD and DS, were academically minded kids in public school magnet programs.   Their peer grop was mainly kids like them. There was a lot of mixed socializing but very little dating or hook ups. 
My DD dated casually in college but was still focused on a career path. She is working now and going steady with someone she knew from college. My DS is very goal focused and while he has a huge network of friends, he is not dating anyone right now. [/quote]

+1 the academically focused kids aren’t really dating.[/quote]

That’s a good excuse for kids who weren’t popular with the opposite sex or same sex if that was their preference.   [b]Yeah, that’s it, the academically  focused kids just don’t date.  [/b]

In reality teens don’t all develop at the same rate.   Some teens enjoy spending time with their girlfriends, some with mixed company, some like one on one with boyfriend or girlfriend.  Nothing to worry about at all if a 16 year old doesn’t want that kind of commitment. [/quote]

A lot of their parents don’t allow it because it’s pointless and just leads to drama and heartache and takes away from academic focus. You honestly think a kid with multiple AP classes and activities is going to find time to “date.”? Please. The only ones dating are usually the mediocre kids who have more time for it.[/quote]

I was the valedictorian of my hs class & a varsity athlete. I had a steady boyfriend for a couple of years, and also dated (and yes, pined after) other boys throughout high school.
Did dating occupy too much of my time? Maybe. But otherwise, I would have found something else to occupy my time. I was not studying or practicing all my waking hours.[/quote]

I don’t understand how someone could even write the previous post without embarrassment   [/quote]
