YES YES YES. sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but when your boyfriend asks for permission to go out with someone else, he’s thought about it. ANY MAN WHO HAS ONLY BEEN WITH ONE WOMAN WILL ALWAYS WANT ANOTHER!!!!! You might be enough for him right now, but he doesn’t know what “forever” is when he’s this young. Move on, and quickly. Better to be alone than with some one who might or might not want you.

Goes both ways.
I think before you jump to any conclusions, you should ask what he means exactly.
a teenage guy will not be happy into his twenties and thirties with one woman, even if she were a supermodel. As the saying goes, show me the most beautiful woman in the world, and i’ll show you a man who is tired of sleeping with her.

You’re incredibly judgmental.
sir jamesvhow old are you that you don’t know the ways of men in thier teens? Name one guy under age 21 that you know that has stuck with his high school sweetheart for his entire life (until death), and i’ll admit a percentage of error. He’s asking if it’s okay to go out with another girl, and if that ’s not a sign that he’s thinking about it, then you don’t know men at all.

lol… im glad i didnt get a man like that - me and my husband met in 9th grade - and im the only one he’s been with - and were stil goin strong.
That is because not all men are like that. :)
let’s be honest, 99% of all men aren’t like that

My age concerns you eh? Well I’m old enough to learn how to type correctly. I am 21. And you’re basing your claim on the fact that those relationships don’t last because they are immature, NOT because guys can’t like just one lass. Your back up information is flawed. You must have had hard times with men. Which is fine. But you’re looking in the wrong place to say 99% are not like that. Another blind accusation.
i’m fine with men and still with my husband. this kid is in HIGH SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!! Get a clue!
Here is a fun fact for you. I would still be with my high school lass if she didn’t leave me. Sometimes it’s not the guys. There is more to it then one person in a relationship.
It sounds like he might be unfaithful sure. But what if he is worried about just going to hang out, and worried his lass might feel bad about that? Worried that it might send the wrong message? Maybe he’s one of the good ones and he’s being mindful. Or maybe not. But either way you can’t just stamp him with a tag and call him a teen fool.
That’s a perfectly valid commentary on women, but you are only 21, as you say. when you grow up with someone, or are with them for years and years, then comment on the situation. This guy says he’s happy with her FOREVER. He can’t know if he’ll feel like that next year
it’s not being judgemental, it’s being realistic.
It’s being more one then the other.
And hah, don’t start judging me.
i’m not judging you, i’m just making an observation based upon what she posted as fact, not what your situation is or was. i’m just saying that you should be informed on the situation before you can comment on the subject matter. To be with someone for the long haul is more work than this young man sounds willing to putin.
“i’m just saying that you should be informed on the situation before you can comment on the subject matter. “
“To be with someone for the long haul is more work than this young man sounds willing to putin. ”
If I know as much as you, and you can comment, how am I not also informed?
As you said, you are only 21, so how would you know about being with someone “forever”? You haven’t lived long enought to know what “forever” is in a relationship, let alone how to make it work forever.
I’m not being ageist, just truthful as someone who has been there. (for the long haul)
I’m old enough and have been married with kids for a LONG TIME. it’s all sunshine and hearts when you’re young, but as you grow older with someone, it takes more work that you can imagine to keep your relationship strong. If she has doubts about his fidelity in high school, how will they ever make it to REAL obstacles?
Was JUST going to say that.

Wow…
being young and passionate is all well and good, but time will tell…
Okay, Anyway, Back to the subject at hand. I honestly think, if he’s asking to go out with someone else he’s going to want someone else. Speaking from experience, one person, especially when you’re this young, is never enough. After being in a three and a half year relationshp, and he moved on in THREE DAYS, I know something happened. It sucks but its true. I say, take a break, or something. Don’t hurt yourself going through all these obsticles, just save yourself while you still can.
