I personally am against it. I believe that it was a synthesis of the 2nd world war, when times where hard. I believe that being friends with girls and vice versa is perfectly fine, but I am against the idea of having a relationship. I dont think guys or girls shud be thinking abt entering a relationship until uni or sth. It complicates things, not just for the people involved, but for their parents and friends aswell.
I believe in strong friendships, but nothing with lust in it.
