Isn't part of the fun of this show supposed to be escapism into childhood? Maybe don't give EVERYBODY a girlfriend at like 11 or whatever years old if you want me and lots of viewers to relate to them.

I hate when shows do this, they can't just be shows they have to rub your face in how long you've been alone and how even kids get more action that you ever have.

It's annoying to watch

I don't know if you get how fiction works but usually what it is is that there is the characters and the things that make them relatable and THEN the story happens on top of it. So if the show was about kids and their girlfriends then that would be the plot and I wouldn't watch, but since the show is supposed to be normal relatable kids but then their cRaZy adventures they shouldn't do it this way

I work with 10 and 11 year olds and like 90% of them are still grossed out by the opposite sex.

It's just a dumb hollywood trope

Yes, absolutely. I felt the same way about Season Two. S3 is a return to form imo.

It's a coming of age story. At this point, they are pretty old. Idk about you, but by 7th grade almost everybody in my grade was dating.

Yeah. Hollywood has this thing were they don't like characters who are single for too long, and they think it's cute when kids/teens all have relationships even if it's not realistic.

They dont start high school until next season. But I agree that most kids start dating by then

I would. I loved S1 and though S2 was pretty lame. I watched S3 and thought it was almost as good as S1.

This. Plenty of kids were dating in 7th and 8th grade in my school too. TC sounds like he was quite introverted and didn't have many friends as a kid.

You could always watch "The Man of Recaps" season 1/2 recap.

Season 2 isn't the worst thing ever too. I just started S3 so idk if it's going to be any good.

But yeah kids shouldn't have gfs it ruins my viewing experience.

plenty of kids date in the eighth grade, though.

idk how it's like in Catholic School, but none of the characters attend one, iirc.

Also their "dating" is very immature dating.

Mike and El seem to only date at El's house and they just sit around and kiss. They don't actually got on real dates. Lucas and Max we never see going out either. The only time we see them hang out they are with the rest of the gang. They also have claimed to broken up and gotten back together many times. Dustin is in a long distance relationship with Suzie and never even see each other after camp.

None of them are actually really dating in a traditional sense. So this really sort of works into TC's opinion. Few kids actually date in 8th grade, but plenty of them hold hands and kiss while at school and pretend to be a real couple.

There's literally a show called 16 and Pregnant. But it's unrealistic that these 14 year olds wanna kiss and hold hands? Also based on their slightly different personalities, it makes sense that heading into S3, Mike and Lucas have gfs, but Will and Dustin don't.
