I know this might be strange, but I just suddenly started liking this girl recently. I can't ever stop thinking about her. I don't think about her in a sexual way, but more of a loving way.
There are problems though. This girl goes to a different school than me and I'm hesitant about going out with someone that doesn't go to my school.
The second thing is, all my friends told me that dating is a complete waste of time until you're older.
This seems like the first time I've REALLY liked someone. Unlike some of my friends, I don't really look at the size of girl's boobs or anything, I tend to look at the inside. Does that make me more mature or something, or am I being rash? Tell me what you think.

Dont listen to your friends who say dating is a waste of time at this age..thats not true. As for the out of school thing..it can definately work..my bf used to go to a school about 25 minutes away from mine but we were able to see each other a lottt because my parents really helped out with driving back and forth. things are so much easier because i got my license and he even lives by me now..so it workedo ut..and its been like 13 months :)
So dont let some distance scare you..it can be worked out..between your parents driving a couple days of the week..and her parents driving a couple days..it can work. You guys can meet up at the movies or the mall..carpool with friends..etc. but it sounds like you really like her..go for it! :) [ icey0990's advice column | Ask icey0990 A Question ]
phatdopelove answered Saturday March 17 2007, 10:53 pm: Sounds like to me you've got young strong likes for someone, aye! ;) Dating a person out of your school, it could work though if you put effort into it, you're 15 and you probably only have a driver's permit ,so if yall hangout, make sure it's a spot that has alot of stuff to do.And dating is not a waste of time sweetheart, no matter what age. But it is more valuable when you get older. Your'e growing into a young man and getting more mature that's why, outward appearances don't really matter much, and that makes you not a shallow guy, (that's what most girls look for in a guy) but it's the personality that counts. Your friends seem like they haven't matured yet, but they'll learn as time progresses. You're more mature than them, that's all. Hope this helps.

and OMG i really wish that more guys were like you! haha
but don't worry about your friends saying dating is just a waste of time, because well it really isn't. Your young, so you should have fun and do what YOU want to.
& mattering more of whats on the inside, is kinda more of a mature thing, but its also just the person you are. But i say just go for the girl :) [ 12Brezzer12's advice column | Ask 12Brezzer12 A Question ]
MAK answered Saturday March 17 2007, 9:38 pm: oh my god. why cant all guys be like you??
you are sooo much more mature than your friends. more and more 15 year olds are becoming so sex oriented, its beautiful how you think of this girl in a loving way.
dating is not a waste of time... but you can make it a waste of time by not loving the person your with. Ask her out, you have nothing to lose. [ MAK's advice column | Ask MAK A Question ]
helpachick answered Saturday March 17 2007, 9:32 pm: aw this is deffinitly a good thing that your thinking this way about her. if you want to go out with her, and you arent afraid of long distance relationships..i would go ahead. 15 isnt tooo soon to start Really dating. i think it's just right. and especially since your thinking of her this way. its really nice to hear that there are at least some guys out there still who dont judge us just by the cup size:)
good luck, and to answer the Actual question...i think you Are being more mature. your friends will probably get there some day too, but at our age it comes at different times.

LM answered Saturday March 17 2007, 9:32 pm: God, I wish more guys were like you. Yes, liking a girl for who she is, and not just what she looks like, is a sign of maturity.
Why are you so reluctant about dating someone from another school? I think it works out better- you're not seeing each other constantly, so you're not sick of each other by dismissal, you know? You'll have more to talk about.
Dating's not a complete waste of time. Tell this girl how you feel. You may be pleasantly surprised by her reaction. Even if she doesn't like you as more than a friend, she'll know that you can be honest with her. Nothing wrong at all with being close friends, so don't shut her out of your life just because she's not as madly in love with you as you may be with her.
If you take nothing else from anybody's answer, just remember this- if you DON'T say anything to her, you'll regret it, wondering for (literally) years about the what ifs, what could have been. Just go for it- take the plunge.
