11 Stages Of Dating An Outspoken Opinionated Person

When you date someone who is not only an outspoken person but also very opinionated the relationship can get a little rocky. You might feel like you have to warn people before meeting them, "Please do not get offended, they really don't mean any harm." Honestly, you don’t fully understand why they can have such a spirited debate on the smallest issues, but you do learn to love them... in stages.

1. It catches you by surprise.

You had no idea your adorable crush was such a talker. Either you were blinded by love or they were waiting for the perfect time to spring it on you.

2. You think it's funny and cute.

"Ehh it's no big deal..." You think all their ideas are cute or funny, and you just laugh when they spiral off into a tangent.

3. You actually start listening to what they’re saying.

You finally understand why they're always making people upset. You're adorable loved one is kind of offensive.

4. The arguing begins.

Now that you're actually listening you realize you two don’t actually agree on much.

5. You politely warn them to be good at social gatherings.

Certain topics are off limits because you know it will only set them off.

6. You realize that they are crazy.


You now realize that you're dating a crazy person who has a completely different understanding of how the world works or at least they say they do.

7. You begin contemplating your relationship.

Can you be in a relationship with someone with such strong opinions on everything from governmental conspiracies to peanut butter brands.

8. You know they're worth it!

You begrudgingly decide that these little differences make you two who you are. And because they feel so strongly about everything they are crazy over you.

9. You learn to embrace it.

You no longer feel the need to warn people (as much). You let them be who they are because in the end there’s nothing you can do about it anyways.

10. You are surprised when they don’t care about something.

On the rare occasion that this happens you are very suspicious.

11. You are never bored.

They can find enjoyment out of the little things you'll always have something to talk about.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
