I am from Va, Richmond actually, and I didnt have a serious relationship until I was 19. I was with the same woman/girl for 5 years. I married and now I'm divorcing.
I was down about how all my friends had girls when we hung out and stuff and I felt really good that I had a wife at a young age and I was mature enough to handle it.
Are you just looking for a guy to hang out with? a bf? what? I've hung out with girls before when I was in HS before I had a gf. Didn't consider it dating, but I guess it was. I was just out to have fun and enjoy my time with them.
Think of it this way, if you are not with somebody, more money you can spend on yourself. Girlfriends are really expensive j/k
