A poll!

Because I spend far too much time running doing statistics I am a naturally curious person, I found myself wondering about how old people are when they start dating. I always thought I was a "late bloomer" because I didn't start dating until I was 15 (of course, at that point I thought that people who held hands in sixth grade had been dating for years), but I've realized that most of my real life friends did not start dating until they were almost done with high school or in college, if at all. So I'm curious -- when did you start dating? I mean actually going on dates, not hanging out with someone in school when you were 12 and calling them your boyfriend despite never having gone anywhere or even talked on the phone. You know what I mean.

And, out of curiosity, did you attend college? I'm curious if this is at all influential.

And then I may run a statistical analysis or something equally geeky that only thewesternsky will relate to.

So, lj-friends and any random passersby, do let me know. :)

You do NOT suck! And I for some reason just thought you dated and had been for awhile. (I actually have many RL friends who haven't started dating for various reasons ...) It's not like you lack boy interaction, though!

Well, I've never had a boyfriend, and that's what I would consider dating. I have had exactly two "dates" in my life, but i wouldnt even really call them that and they certainly didnt constitute "dating." you're right, i have my fair share of boy interaction, but somehow it never quite gets to the dating stage. It just stalls at "friends with benefits" or "one-night stands" or "drunken bar flirting." Interesting.

It's like you're going in reverse, or something!

Perhaps you shall meet a hottie in Huntington Beach. And send pix, please. ;)
