If you and your SO were to have met in high school, would you have dated at that point?
-
Yup. We met freshman year of college so I don't think much changed in a year : )
-
Yup. We did date in h.s.... There was definitely an attraction. But our relationship then and the one we have now is very different. (H.S. relationship was in '96, we lost contact for 7 years and reunited in '03 -- thanks to google!). He and I were completely different people at the point when we started dating as adults. Sometimes I can't believe I even knew him in h.s., but it's a heartwarming thought too.
-
Well, he's five years older so we weren't in high school at the same time, and when you're that young the age difference is weird. But if there wasn't an age difference, then probably. We were both band geeks, and so were all my high school boyfriends.
-
Nope- he actually asked me on a date when I was in 10th grade and I turned him down! A few years later we reconnected and now the rest is history!
-
Probably not. I wasn't interested in relationships much in high school - I liked boys and flirting and having a date for dances, but I never wanted a boyfriend. I probably would have gone to Homecoming with him and the rest would have evolved the same way ... met freshman year in college, friends for 6 years, THEN started dating.
-
We did date in HS... that's how we met
-
nope. Neither of us dated in high school, by choice. We met my second year of college, his first, but didn't start dating for over a year. In high school, we hard other priorities. I was focused on grades and an extracurricular while he was on the baseball team. Oh, and we kinda went to school 8 hours apart...
-
Maybe - I didn't date anyone in high school but it wasn't due to not wanting a boyfriend. It just never happened.
DH was actually my first ever boyfriend and we started dating my junior year of college. But if I'd known him in high school and he'd asked me out, I'm sure I would have said yes.
-
No! He was kind of a player!
-
We did not even live in the same state. Not even close. He is from down south and I am from the north. Like OLIVIAOBLIVIA said, mine too was kind of a player so even if we did go to the same HS....we would not have dated.
-
We met in HS! I was a sophomore and he was a freshman (and had long hair and was very cute). We shared a lab bench in biology and both had crushes on one another, but never got together. He then switched high schools so it never happened...we ultimately got together six years later : )
-
Nope. He was a jock and I was in the band (well colorguard). We even joke about it now how we probably wouldn't be together today if we had met in high school. Luckily we lived in different towns =)
-
We always joke about this because we almost went to the same college. He was very close to going to college in the same city where I went to college. If either of those two had happened, we probably would have hooked up at some point freshman year and then NEVER ended up together.
Haha. Maybe it's TMI but we've always had great chemistry so we know as immature freshmen we would have totally gone for each other and ruined any chance of a real relationship. I think the only reason we actually ended up together was because we were forced to be long-distance for the first 6 months.
High school? I was an insecure drama geek and he was Mr. Congeniality, so I don't think so! We MIGHT have been friends.
-
Well he was 28 when I was a senior so that would have been weird : )
But if we were the same age I think maybe. We both played sports and we in the same-ish level of classes. I think it definitely would have been fun to know him back then or even in his 20s. We didn't meet until he was 36!
-
@Winniebee: Aw...that's sweet! And cool how things work out.
-
Yes, and we did. We met durring our sophomore year of highschool and have been together since we met basically.
-
Maybe, but we wouldn't have worked out. He was a senior in HS when I was a freshman. He actually dated a girl in my year when he was a senior in HS and it wasn't a bad relationship; but it also didn't survive the college/long distance challenge!
-
depends, if he was dating me, would he still be the womanizer he used to be?
hubby did a lot of partying.drinking.sleeping around in high school and after it, and i am definitely not into any of that stuff. by the time i met him he had calmed down a lot, and his lack of interest in going out and wanting to settle down is what attracted me to him.
also, i was on the abstinence committee, captain of the cheer squad, and class president in high school. he probably would not have even been into me. -
probably not!
we met at the perfect time.
-
I ask my husband this on occasion...we always have the same answer: probably not.
-
nope he's 4 years older and i was a bad girl and he was a good boy.
-
We met when we were really little, and then lost contact for about ten years. We remet in high school and have been together since I was in grade 11.
-
nope. my hubby's 4 years older... i didn't date until after hs.
-
we would have definitely been friends as he's a year younger and i had a lot of good guy friends in the grade below me, but i doubt we would have dated. he might have been one of my "freshmen crushes" as we dubbed them.
we met in college, but didn't date until after i graduated. he admitted when we started dating that he always had a crush on me, but he thought i was out of his league! ha.
-
Yes, we started dating in high school (end of junior year) BUT we had known each other for a looong time (since preschool) and never in a million years did I think I would date him, until it happened lol.
-
Yeah, if we hadn't been dating other people
-
I think we would have! DH has always been my type his whole life and I was definitley boy crazy back then.
-
no....he is 5 years younger so i would have been a creepy cradle-robber if we had dated then
-
It's funny b/c we have both changed a ton since high school, but I think my high school self probably would have liked his high school self. (Of course he's actually 4 years older than me, so we wouldn't have been in high school at the same time.) I sincerely doubt that we would have stayed together if we had met in high school though, so I'm glad we didn't meet until much later!
-
Probably since we met freshmen year of college and started dating.
-
@Mrs Green Grass: same here, my husband was in his mid 30's when I was a senior...so no.
If we were magically the same age and both back in high school, still probably no. Neither of us dated much in high school - both too into other things, although we probably would have had a lot in common and probably would have crossed paths at weekend drinking parties, so who knows! I'm glad we didn't meet in high school as I wasn't ready to settle down until the second half of my 20's.
-
Maybe - he played football and I was a cheerleader, but he was sort of shy and I was a party girl. College sort of brought him out of his shell, and that's where we met!
-
Yep.
We met and started dating our senior year.
-
It's funny because we talk about this all the time. We probably wouldn't have dated in high school because we didn't do the same types of things. He was a nice guy, I was a little bit more of a troublemaker. I also always joke around with him that I probably wouldn't have given him the time of day, lol. I'm thankful that even though we knew of each other for many years, we didn't meet until we did. It made me much, much more appreciative of what a great man I had found. Actually, I still find things about him that continue to make me appreciate him more and more. He really is a great partner, and father, so I feel so lucky that he's all mine.
-
Is this including any age gaps? We're 11 years apart so we would not have been in high school together!
I guess, if we assume I'm his age, maybe! Our personalities were pretty similar as moody high school teenagers
but, he wasn't much into "dating" then, but I think we would have at least been friendsETA: This is also assuming we lived on the same side of the world! I grew up in NZ and him stateside; we didn't meet until 3 years ago when he moved to NZ
-
I don't think so. We were both late bloomers and I don't think we would have noticed each other in high school.
