I’m watching my younger brothers go to homecoming with their dates right now. They seem to be having a great time and I’m really happy for them! I still view them as babies though so it does feel a bit weird. I also can’t help but feel a sliver of jealousy that they are able to do this.
I couldn’t even accept that I liked girls until graduating high school, and even then I waited another couple years to come out to my conservative family. They had some trouble accepting it. Just being able to date so young without any obstacles or consequences must be nice… I did go to homecoming and prom with my group of friends, but I still feel like it’s different.
Maybe I’m making hs dating out to be a bigger deal than it is, I always tend to romanticize things. It just feels like I’m missing an important experience that normal people had as teenagers.
As a lesbian in high school currently, you're not missing anything. TRA's have taken over the dating scene for lesbians/gays, and if you're not in the GSA (gender
sexualityalliance), your chances of finding/having a girlfriend are minuscule. Especially one that doesn't succumb to the gender craziness. Don't get me wrong, I am jealous of all my guy friends that seem to have infinite choices for a girlfriend, but I'm glad that I haven't prioritized it. If I had prioritized it I'd probably end up with a TIF zey/zem overweight bisexual girlfriend, and I would choose celibacy over that.
