If you are both at the age of working on "making out with other people", I can assume you have quite a bit more living to do, and so does the girl. The funny thing about the teenage/young adult situation is that it's very easy to make broad, sweeping statements about the rest of someones life while having no clue what you are talking about. Think about this: That girl has no idea what the rest of your life will be like, nor her own. It's very silly to make a comment like that. Programmers have girlfriends/boyfriends just like any other profession. And as for the distractions, yes, girlfriends at your age can be a definite distraction. But that's part of the fun of teenage love. It is something new to explore and experience, but not something that everyone has to do. Don't sweat it. You'll find somebody.
