13, it lasted 2 hours. I wore blue the following Valentine's Day in protest of the whole concept. Oh adolescence, you make me laugh.
 
14, mistakes were made. Her parents were all sorts of insane, when they found out I existed they called me more often than she did. If I didn't answer they wouldn't stop calling.
 
I had my first 'girlfriend' if you could call it that, when I was maybe 4? Me and some girl were obsessed with each other at nursery and always kissed behind the couch apparantly.

Then through school I had a couple that weren't serious or lasted long, but I guess a lot of people do that.

I met my first proper girlfriend and got into a serious relationship (which I am still in) when I was 16.
 
13. Started right when I was finishing 8th grade and leaving for high school which made things a bit difficult since she was a grade behind. That's probably why it only lasted through the summer and I think the 1st month of school before I found out she was cheating. Didn't even care really because by that point I was seeing her so little I realized it was over like a week earlier.

Dating kind of sucked until I got my license anyway. There's nothing worse than having your parents take you and her to places.
 
24.

Been about two years and we're still together. Absolutely love this girl and I know she feels the same. Probably get a ring on her sometime next year.

Only thing that bothers me is she's the only girl I've slept with. Would like to fool around a bit now that I have some confidence but doesn't seem like a logical path to take at this point. She's knows it bothers me too.

Anyone been in the same boat as me? Anyone have any helpful opinions?

Get her to greenlight a threesome.
 
I was 18 for my first serious one. It lasted a year and a half and yeah occasionally I'll still think about how it was the worst fucking part of my life.
 
I had something that was like a relationship some time when I was in elementary school. I haven't had anything resembling a relationship since then (insert sad "forever alone" violin music here) and since we were young and didn't know what a relationship actually meant outside of the whole hand holding always together thing, I typically don't count it as one.

Normally I would think that never having had an actual relationship would be sad because most of my friends are in relationships (some even getting married, which, at 19 years old, seems kind of early to me), but I'm pretty patient. I'll meet the right woman eventually.
 
Never had anything actually official until I was 18 in my first year at college.

Actually, I met her my first weekend there, the first night I went out, at the first party I went to.

Almost two years later and we're still together. So far it seems that I lucked out and got it done right off the bat

never a real, physical face to face relationship, and im 25.

Now that i reflect, there were opportunities, one moved away in middle school without explanation for a decade plus, some others had a crush on me but i was too dorky to peruse those avenues, and i wasted my entire HS life crushing on a lesbian. Nothing happen in college.
 
17 for first real relationship. Dated for 2 years.

All I remember is that every "first" with her was mind blowing. There was probably a 2-3 month period when we had just started dating when I was basically ecstatic over having a girlfriend every moment of the day. Shit was crazy. Looking back, we weren't even that compatible, but of course I had no frame of reference.
 
13 but it wasn't actually a real "relationship". I remember trying to be all smooth and romantic about it, I"m talking about some Drake shit. Been trying for the past decade to remove that whole experience from my mind. It worked until this thread appeared
 
I was like 8. We "dated" for two weeks then she dumped me.

Haven't had a real relationship yet. Shout out to my late bloomers. lol
 
I wonder what the average GAF age is. Someone compile some data! (I would but I am already procrastinating too much from finals).
 
Whatever 6th grade was, 11? 12? Regardless it was set up by her friends and it was awful. She didn't even go to the same school and I only saw her on Fridays with her other friends and my friends. We were both incredibly awkward and had nothing to talk about and it ended after about a month. Looking back I dated the idea of her and not actually the person...

You should be thankful for what you have because it can be gone in an instant. Don't waste time pining over what could have been or girls you could have slept with. If you're with the one right now you should really stop thinking like this. She's probably not as ok with your revelations on this subject as you think.

It's been done before, but I'm too lazy to find the link and should be working on finals as well. :P

Anyways, 21. My female friends were always surprised, while my male friends liked to tell me it was understandable given how undesirable I was. Probably a combination of not being particularly good looking, having huge self esteem issues, depression, and never really liking the people I did happen to go on a date with. A bit of a downer to think about. But I wouldn't trade the relationship I have now for having had one earlier, so in the end it's not a huge deal.
 
i was in like 8th grade and some girl asked me to be her boyfriend and i said ok and then i felt her boobs on the bus ride home or something
 
Probably 13 or 14 when it was super awkward and 15 when i actually liked the girl and wanted to do stuff and got to do stuff. Kinda think about her once in a while but just in a "yeah that happened" kinda way.
 
16. Lasted two and half years. Lost my virginity to her and we still talk from time to time. Was some pretty fun times, we don't hate each other or anything. Broke up because she was going to Cornell and I was staying here in California for college. Plus some other issues. Overall, it was a pretty good run. I'm 20 now.
 
I had things in middle school / high school that I wouldn't really call relationships. I was overweight until I started college then got in shape and began dating in my early 20s.

My advice to anyone is to not wait. Even fuckups are valuable. I was able to play it off but I think that high school shit is crucial to development.

Yea, your right in a lot of ways.

It's just difficult for some dumb reason.

She knows I'm really open about everything and thankfully that's something she appreciates a lot.

I think I was like 21. It's hard to get a girlfriend when in high school you're eating out of the garbage, putting water all over your crotch so it looks like you pissed yourself, using an NES controller in the hallways and pretending like you're using it to control your own movements, having fake grand mal seizures in the middle of crowded halls, etc. I was doing weird shit like that literally every single day, almost getting expelled for being weird on several occasions.

My friends described me as a "human highlight reel", and my friend's dad who works at the school says that I still get mentioned by staff 10 years later, so I'm gonna say it was totally worth it.

I think I'm in love.

First girlfriend (it it even was that) I was 11 or 12 all I can remember is that her name was Morgan and she told me she liked me. I think it lasted a few days.

Next relationship was when I was 13 to a girl named Jane. She asked me if I liked her. I didn't, but I didn't want to hurt her feelings, so I said yes. 2 days later she said her mother found out and she wouldn't let her date. I was relieved.

Last relationship was when I was 14 to a girl named Tiffany. She thought I was cute and funny (and weird) and she asked me out. A few days later I went to see Constantine with a friend instead of going to a school dance, so she dumped me.
 
17. Lasted 3 months until she "needed a break" after I took her to prom, which basically meant I was on a leash for a month while she fucked around. Then my friend called me, told me she was dating a guy who I thought was a friend. I dropped his ass as a friend for that shit, total bro code breaking (he didn't even understand why I'd be pissed at him).

I do contemplate whether or not to call them relationships or not though. I had a semi-serious girlfriend, but she was young- like just turned 18- and started getting freaked out at the idea of something serious. Then I started freaking out. Then she freaked out more and ended it so I would win that freaking out moment.
