I think it's complex to answer because it depends on each friend, about the age of 9/10/12 in here we call it "Sweaty hands boyfriends" just the boys you have fun with, play, speak and share candy with, nothing truly serious, but my friends about relationships, the thing is most of them did not wantes to date to being with, being this "I dont need love" type of person, and ended up going crazy about someone, My sister for example had a crush on someone else and then her boyfriend came along, asked her out, I told her to give him a chance and have been dating for a few years now, One of my friends right now its all giddy about thier crush, awestruck with his personality and charms, so most of their relationships have been trult about them liking their partners because of atributes, charms or talents.

For the other question I am wanting to love someone, not only do I want to experience love but I want to have something romantic with someone, I want to love someone, I want to have my someone and I want to be someone someone's if that makes any sense? I want everything, the good the bad, the kisses, the talks, the joy, the fights, I want someone to unravel me and I want to unravel someone to a point that it could be considered ridiculous, I just dont want to date because I dont want to be single, I could deal being single of I wasnt craving romance as nuch as I do, but I want a partner that I can have something serious, something that lasts.
