What's Your Relationship Reality?
December 23rd, 2011 | What's Your Relationship Reality?
Once you get to high school, a whole new world of possibilities opens up for you. Suddenly you aren’t limited to dating the boys you’ve known since kindergarten—the same ones who put gum in your hair or threw spitballs at you from across the room. Nope, you can leave those immature losers behind for a sophisticated older guy.
And believe me this is tempting. High school guys love the first day of school because a new crop of freshmen are roaming the halls. When I started...

One moment you can feel like a suave Casanova while talking to a girl via text and the next like a bumbling uncomfortable dweeb speaking to her in person. But just because you might be more confident behind a screen doesn’t mean you should have your whole relationship through instant message. Emoticons are not legitimate substitutes for interacting face-to-face. If you want your relationships to work, you’ve got to learn how to function IRL (in real life).
Don’t let...

Guys often get a bad rap for being the ones who pressure their girlfriends into having sex. So it may surprise you to know that a lot of guys (8 out of 10 if you want to get exact) say that they feel pressured by their friends, the media, even girls, to get busy doing “it”.
While there are a few guys who don’t think they need to be in a relationship to have sex, almost twice as many guys say they would rather be in a relationship without sex than have sex but no real...

After what seems like forever, you’ve finally caught yourself a good one—a boyfriend/girlfriend who’s absolutely awesome. You just can’t get enough of this person, and they feel the same way about you. So you become attached at the hip, and start doing everything together. There’s just one little problem: your friends are acting super cold and distant. Why? Because you’re not keeping the friend/relationship balance. Classic mistake, but worry not, you can...

Do you or someone you know suffer from these symptoms?
Internet history composed primarily of Facebook photo albums of one particular girl.
Modified, oftentimes inconvenient paths to class to increase the odds of run-ins with this particular girl.
Over-exaggerated eye rolls from friends upon mentioning her name due to excessive referencing of her.
If so, you may be suffering from a clinical case of High School Crush. Although this condition can be incredibly common, when left...

Do you ever feel like your parents don’t take your relationship seriously? Like they make it seem as though just because you’re young, you couldn’t possibly have any real feeling for your boyfriend or girlfriend or, gasp, maybe even be in love? You’re not alone. A few months back I had the chance to chat up members of the Youth Leadership Team and many of them told me how frustrating it is when their parents don’t get it. That even though they’re young, the...

If you’re a guy and you tell people your best friend is a girl, they can’t seem to help asking if you have romantic feelings for her. And until recently, the answer was no. This girl was the one you talked to about other girls you were in love with, who played Call of Duty with you for hours, and who could easily down double the burgers you could. But then one day something changed. Suddenly, you’re back at your house, supposedly deciphering Geometry proofs, and you had this...
