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.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
