The thing about relationships as adolescents is that things change so frequently and so dramatically that the possibilities of a lasting relationship are very, VERY slim. I'm a middle-aged woman and I've met thousands of people in my life and I only know of one couple who began their relationship as adolescents and are still together. That's thousands, if not millions to one. Consequences of being intimate for girls: Pregnancy, STDs (more and more common everyday), reputation for being loose and easy, being used and then dumped, opens you to rape and disassociation with your friends to name a few. Consequences for being intimate for guys: Becoming a father and being forced to support your child or prosecuted for failing to do so, STDs, reputation for being a jerk and Jail for statuatory rape to name a few, oh and a beating if her dad or older brother finds out. You have 18 years to be a kid and enjoy yourself with little responsibility. You have 60+ to be an adult and pay for the consequences of relationships. No one every says thank God I don't have to be a kid again! Develop a relationship, that's good! But don't waste your time, efforts or risk the consequences on intimacy when you're an adolescent. It's just not worth it. I did and I had to grow up way to early and I missed out on a lot because of it.
If you get "intimate" enough, it's possible though unlikely.
It is possible if you are intimate with her.
Virtually all human beings are looking for acceptance from other human beings. A possible exception would be psychopaths. The ability to form and maintain healthy and sometimes intimate relationships with others is therefore crucial for a healthy self esteem.

No. Platypuses avoid contact with humans as much as possible.

if a man hasn't had an intimate partner in awhile it is possible that he may do something with an unattractive woman.
Yup, anything is possible when it comes to relationships. Don't count on it though.

Not usually. Most relationships in which they don't fight at all, they aren't interested in the relationship anymore, however it is possible but only if you agree with everything :)

I believe so, but it's not made easy in today's society, where values are greatly downplayed in favor of instant gratification and a glut of pleasure feeding pasttimes. Most damaging, perhaps, is the collective belief that true monogamy or lifetime relationships are impossible. It depends on the individual person, his belief system, his values and how much he lets society's adolescent tastes affect him. Fidelity is caertainly possible, but it takes work and commitment, both in short supply these days.
