I had a gf once in 7th grade, she broke up with me because I didn't talk to her (which is true I like only hugged her once, I basically was with my group of friends majorly)
She's in a group of mine in FACS so we cook stuff together, I think we're cool now cause we talk to each other pretty casually
But I haven't really dated since then and I certainly don't have a problem with it
