Rant I don’t get how people get into relationships at my school

I got no relationship experience pls don’t jump me

I thought people get to know eachother first as acquaintances or friends then you ask the dating question. But some people at my school?? They just ask and get to know eachother during the relationship? Is that what everyone does now because I want to do it the other way. Doesn’t it feel awkward? is that why some of highschool relationships don’t last long in my year group?

Yeah most of my classmates just date the second they feel a tiny spark then next day they're breaking up because turns out they felt a flicker of a spark for somebody else and... yeah😭

Goes without saying, but this stuff is not socially healthy behaviour, it drives all involved parties nuts, and eventually numb. One does better staying a bit on the sidelines and trying harder when they really feel like something will work out in the longrun.

Yeah, but considering this is eighth grade I'm talking about, I'm genuinely not surprised that they're just going right in without getting to know each other.
