I work at a high school. Why in the world would I want to return to adolescent ways? Who cares anymore? As long as the guy treats you well and you enjoy spending time with him, it doesn't matter what anyone else says. Should your friends like him? Well, it's certainly a plus. But they won't be the ones going home with him. I tell my high school students all the time that they are only responsible for themselves. I think that applies in dating too. Go for it! And besides, if the "cool" guys from high school turned out like the "cool" guys from my high school they're all d-bags anyway. Move on to someone worth your time. :) Ok, I don’t usually comment on these things, but this time I have to…

Or maybe it was just that my school was full of surfers and pot-heads that didn't give a hoot? I think you should go out with who you want to. Set a new trend. Everyone else will follow ;) I had such a great group of friends in HS that I didn’t even aspire to ‘cooldom’.

I remember in 5th grade I was really good friends with a girl, until I was told by the "popular girls" that she was a loser. I dumped her without explanation (what a bitch) and tried to work my way up the social ladder. I still regret my meanness to this day, but definitely learned from it! ---Margo I wish I was as brave as you were back then… I remember in 5th grade I was really good friends with a girl, until I was told by the “popular girls” that she was a loser.
