Inlander:

tania:
wait, was it the girl who broke up with him? i just assumed the opposite. if i got amnesia i probably wouldn't stay in a relationsbip with someone who was now a total stranger... and you're not even really staying in the relationship, you're starting it all over again from scratch, with someone who's claiming to have been your partner. that is tough stuff.

I think it would be hard from both sides. Caring for someone who doesn't remember you would be pretty stressful, and a lot of people might think it was easier to just leave. On the other hand, if I had amnesia and someone was claiming to be my lover, girlfriend, wife, or whatever, I would probably want to keep them around in the hopes that having someone around who should be that familiar to me would help me remember things.

Going from the anecdotal evidence in this thread, I suppose five relationships would be a better average, then?

Man, not even outside of maybe Saved By the Bell. Teenagers, more often than not, are naive. I hate to generalize, but teenagers typically have longer non-serious relationships than adults. It gets into the "we'll be together forever and ever and ever" thing with most teenagers who actually even get into relationships in High School. I had one real relationship in High School (I dated two other girls, but only one relationship) and even that wasn't until I was seventeen, and I was actually one of the more 'experienced' kids in my class by graduation.
Nine times out of ten, if a dude says he's been with five girls by the time he's sixteen, he's full of shit and trying to impress his idiot friends who think that's a legitimate qualifier as to how cool he is. Most people who've actually been with that many people at that age don't actually talk about it. The average sixteen year old has been in MAYBE one or two relationships. Five dates, maybe, but only a relationship or two.
This is going to sound terribly bad, but guys simply don't generally get into relationships at that age, it's mostly girls in early High School.
The only big relationships I remember from my class before I turned sixteen were Freshman girls dating Seniors, and those relationships tended to last through to Junior or Senior year. The only guys I remember actually in relationships before sixteen were guys who were out of the closet by seventeen (All of whom have since admitted their prior "relationships" were mainly just caused by insecurity about being out).
Hell, I'm twenty-four and I've only been in six legitimate instances that I would call a "relationship" and I tend to have short relationships (Outside of Rachel and my first girlfriend, three months is my longest relationship).

On the other hand, a 16 year old is much more likely to count 2 dates and making out in the hallway as a "relationship."
