When I tell people I never dated in highschool, I prepare myself for that raised-eyebrow look. "Were you some kind of social pariah?" they ask. I can say that I was not and I have no regrets or embarassing feelings about waiting until I graduated before dating. The idea of highschool dating, for me, brings to mind a cesspool of teenage fornication. Sharing bodily fluids between partners that you know have slept with this person and that person and so on...especially in a small town.

Thanks, but I'd rather not fuck my friends' sloppy seconds.
