As a high school opinions writer, it is expected to write about one of the main things in high school: relationships. We all know that without high school relationships, these four years would never be the same. Everyone has their high school sweethearts; I know that I have mine. So when we go out, my first question is always, who’s paying? I tend to believe that the guy should pay for a date, and I’m big on old-fashioned relationships. A girl should be treated to a dinner, movie, a night on the town; whatever floats your boat, right? I suppose that some guys have a problem with always being the one to spend their paycheck on a Friday with their girl. I could go on a rant about how the girl does everything else in a relationship: taking care of the kids, the cooking, the cleaning, things of that nature. But unless you’re living with your sweetheart, I don’t think she’ll be cooking for you anytime soon. Even though I am a believer in the notion that a guy should pay, I’m not completely opposed to the opinion that the girls should try to chip in a little bit. And if you don’t feel like sharing the check, stay a night on the couch. Nothing is wrong with making some cookie dough and putting in Kung-Fu Panda for the night. You don’t always have to go out and make a huge date. One of my favorite memories is when we stayed home and ate a tub of Chocolate Mint ice cream while watching Comedy Central. You should just be happy that you are spending time with your sweetheart. After all, this is high school; spending time with your boyfriend or girlfriend should brighten your week. Don’t let a fight about money or who’s paying keep you from spending time with them. They are your sweetheart for a reason, don’t forget that.
