Mackenzie answered Thursday January 5 2006, 8:45 pm: Personally, I wouldn't date a known cheater. You also have to consider the fact that I am seventeen years old. I'm not saying I've seen it all; I haven't even seen a quarter of it. But like millions of teenage girls around the world, I've seen the broken hearts, and the tearful nights, and the pathetic lies. None of which is any fun. None of which is anything I was willing to deal with then, much less now. Some people might tell you that people can change, but I believe "once a cheater, always a cheater". So, I see this move as a mistake, but the beauty of life is to live and learn. If you see a good opportunity in him, then go for it. After all, broken hearts are inevitable; it's BOUND to happen - I just don't see any reason why you'd bother to set yourself up for one!! Here is what I'm begging you to think over: why do you like him? Is it because he's "hot", "hott", or "hawt"? Is it because he's "popular" or the "big man on campus"? Do you even know him? How long have you known him, and exactly how much do you know about him? True, the point of relationships is to share happiness with another. And while you will never know EVERYTHING about a person regardless of how long you have known them, I feel that you must know a fairly good amount before jumping into a relationship with the individual. Here's a question: why do you even have to jump into a full blown relationship right away? Why not hang out for a while and get to know him. You should first see what you're getting yourself into. And lastly, you claim that you've never had a boyfriend, correct? Well alright, now tell me: is it HIM you want, or is it just the feeling and thought of HAVING SOMEONE that you're after? You think about that last question, and I believe you will find your answer.
