Absolutely. I'm in HS and while having a girlfriend is nice, every single one of them don't like me much, and never talk. My last one was my best friend for like 3 years and had a major crush on me and so we decided to go out. It ended in absolute disaster. Girls are just another thing to worry about in high school, when you have enough on your plate already. Plus they take up valuable money that could be spent on your truck. Ain't a thing wrong with having a friend who is a girl.
