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.

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”.

It may be one of the seven deadly sins, but envy or, more accurately, jealously can sometimes be a good thing in a relationship—if you don’t let it get the best of you.  Think about it: if you’re even the slightest bit jealous if another girl or guy who tries to cozy up to your bf or gf, that could mean you have deeper feelings for them then you realized. Which could lead to a really meaningful relationship.

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.

Whether it’s a romantic interest or just a friend, watching a girl you care about date a dude you don’t think is right for her can be an awkward experience. They get so lovey-dovey it makes you cringe. She blabs about how great he is so much you can’t help but gag. You think they’re a terrible fit and it won’t stop bothering you. So how do you deal?
