Many people start dating during high school or uni (and eventually end up marrying the person they started to date back then). Is it better to date during this time or afterwards? It seems like many students are frugal and refuse to pay for dates as they don't have much money themselves. School is also a good time to focus on yourself instead of dating (especially given how so many men are LV).

Get yourself established before even considering dating. Once you have your life in check, men won’t even be in your radar. I wish I didn’t waste my time on men in my early and mid 20s.

Dating men (long term relationships) in high school and uni was the biggest mistake of my life and is, to this day, my biggest regret in life. I can't possibly give anyone the advice to make the same mistake. I think a good window to look for a good partner, if that's your absolute priority in life, is 26-34 years old. Before it's too early, and afterwards, you are left with the non committal types. If a unicorn falls into your lap before you're established in your career, give him a shot without changing your life for him, at least not until you're married. But I wouldn't actively look for men until you have a career tha you like and an income.
The real question is, why are you feeling this compelling need to date at such a young age? That's what you should unpack.
Constantly asking for advice doesn't do much if you don't engage in introspection.
school is a great time to focus on who who are and what you value.
i didn’t end up marrying ANYONE i met in high school, college, or grad school.
do i have regrets? not really.
the only regret i have is that i was a little TOO adventurous and have to scramble in my career currently as a late bloomer!
you do you, but i think most of the wise women on this forum would tell you to de-center men and vet ruthlessly if you can’t/won’t.
it’s savage out there.
