in my experience, middle school dating is stupid
thats not to say that the relationships aren't meaningful or important to the people involved but "going out" hardly ever happens
like, in 7th grade I sat next to some girl whose boyfriend got expelled for bringing weed and beer to school for the bragging rights. the bitch was loving hysterical when she found out and threw the biggest fit about it because apparently she was going to have love with him that day and now she wouldn't even be able to talk to him because she never even got his phone number
