Does your high school freshman have a girlfriend/boyfriend?

Not that I know of

No. My oldest didn't start dating till 2nd semester senior year. My junior dd does not. She has plenty of boys that are friends, they do stuff and hang out, but she does not date.
ETA: these are choices made by my kids, not rules we've imposed.

Mine started dating his girlfriend second semester of 7th grade. They texted and talked on the phone. By tenth grade he could drive and would go to her house or pick her up and they would stay at ours. They went out on dates maybe once or twice a month. Oftentimes we would take her with us on family outings. Senior year they drove together to college classes and studied at least twice a week together at my kitchen counter. They chose to attend the same college and the school is well known for their majors. I never gave him specific rules for dating and he has navigated the relationship very well. She is one of my favorite people. I would have stepped in if I had felt the need, but they seemed to handle it quite well without me butting in.

No. My freshman son does like a girl but she always has a boyfriend. But they text daily.

My Junior son does not have a girlfriend either. There are a couple of girls that flirt with him, but he doesn't date either of them.

FWIW, both of my boys are the youngest in their class and have always been 'behind' socially. They would rather be reading a book or playing a video game.

Even junior/seniors in our school (large school, about 600 students per class) don't seem to date. Kids text a lot, snapchat, and sometimes hang out in groups. But not many date. It really surprises my husband and I because back when we were in high school, everyone seemed to date. I guess we're just old!

My daughter has more boy friends than girl friends. She hangs out with the boys all the time, and is often the only girl in the group. I think she loves all that attention and is afraid that if she starts dating, than she won't get to hang out with her group of boy friends. The boys are so well mannered and polite, a good influence on her! They always talk to my husband and I and we really like that. She is a junior.

We have never had "rules" either, if our daughters want to date, they can date.  And no real curfew either.  The DOT takes care of that.  The kids can't drive past 11 (some exceptions) so they are not usually out late because of driving restrictions. 

No. He's got gals that are trying but he's (thankfully) more interested in baseball and his shoes. lol

Having a boyfriend/girlfriend, I have found, really varies in my DD's high school. (she is a sophomore, doesn't have a boyfriend now but did in freshman year for maybe 2 weeks).

When I say it "varies" it varies from the "text and hold hands, walk to class and that's about it" to "being at each other's house all the time and do stuff with family", and then there is the type of couple that "netflix and chill" (intimate). So it really varies at this age - there are more of the first case and second case thankfully - it really depends on the person and also the level of who the other person is (i.e. if it's freshman/freshman or freshman/soph/junior or even senior) that the freshman is dating. Thankfully my DD was in the text and hold hands and walk to class and that's about it category and thats all she says she really wants or has time for. She had a boyfriend in late spring/summer of 8th grade that was mega clingy so it really shaped the fact that she doesn't want the suffocation of someone around her all the time type of thing, which I am fine with!

I don't see a lot of group "dates" or one on one "dates" going on at that age or to be honest at any age - it's mostly a hangout thing, either at each other's house or going to do stuff together - we live rural so that's typically at this time of year going to fairs and pumkin patch and halloween haunted things and movies. No "dinner" dates unless it's going to Panera after something else they're going to or a coffee place or at the mall. 

Oh I should add there are also people that have "a thing" which she explains that they aren't boyfriend/girlfriend, they just hook up. I guess maybe it's friends with benefits I guess - not quite sure. I don't know how much of that was going on in her freshman class or if it was upperclassman.

My ds had a girlfriend in 8th grade. They texted, went to the movies, we took them out for ice cream, etc.

He decided then that he wanted to focus on his priorities in high school - academics, sports, etc. so he broke up with her. Now that he's in 9th grade, he's somewhat sticking to that resolution but he & a senior (ga!) have decided that they like each other if not for the big age gap. I've actively discouraged him from dating her but we all know how that goes. So far I'm crossing my fingers that common sense will prevail.

My freshman is a popular kid (football and baseball star) and a really cute kid if I do say so myself. hehe. He had a girlfriend for about 4 months, mainly through this past baseball season. Her mom would bring her to DS's games and we would occasionally take them to the movies. They would text and talk every afternoon. She broke up with him to date another guy on his team. It crushed him pretty hard. Since then he only has girl friends but he says no to everyone that asks him out.

He mentioned recently that he needed to jump back in and ask a girl out because his football teammates were starting to joke around about it. Saying he's too good looking of a jock to be single. blah blah. I told him if he's not ready to date then don't, don't let them pressure him. Which of course was falling on deaf ears.

My shy and mostly a loner senior has had the same girlfriend for over two years now. They spend time at school and both are in the band. I really wish he would look around a bit because she so mean to him. But every time he tries to break up she threatens suicide. UGH!

Ours is a sophomore now, but he still doesn't have a girlfriend.  Music and hockey are his passions right now, and he doesn't have any time or interest in dating yet. I can't say that makes me sad in any way, either .

My daughter was in a similar situation when she was in 9th grade.  She is young for her grade and she had a good friend on her coed soccer team that was a junior, but was held back (started kindergarten after he turned 6) so he was 3 yrs. older.  They texted a lot and hung out but never really dated.  He was a really nice boy and they had a lot of fun together, but never were boyfriend/girlfriend.  It was their choice, not either set of parents telling them what to do.

I know what you mean about actively discouraging teens and knowing how that goes!   We like all the boys our daughters hang out with and would be fine with the girls dating any of their boy friends.  It's a particular girl that my 16 yr. old hangs out with that I am worried about.  She is full of drama and I just don't trust her based on some things she has done to my daughter.  But the more I discourage their friendship, the more she wants to hang out with the girl, so I count to 10 and distract myself when she mentions her! 

He constantly texts a girl but insists she's not his girlfriend so...no. LOL.

My 16 yr old junior did not have a boyfriend as a freshman. She wasn't interested in dating until her current boyfriend. They are each others first and they have been together for 7 months. 

They are in 4-H together which is both their local club, the teen county club and the state teen club. So they do a lot of 4-H activities together. They don't go to the same school but they have gone to both of their homecomings and pink prom together. They hang out at either house, the mall and around town. They both enjoy doing things, last weekend they spent a day in Seattle with the other mom as chaperon. Since neither of them drive yet one of us parents is either with them or has dropped them off, depending on what the activity is. A movie, lunch or dinner can be either with all of us, one parent or just them. We've actually all gone to a movie together both parent couples and the kids. They of course didn't sit anywhere near us
