As Carrie Bradshaw said, "I revealed too much too soon. I was emotionally slutty."

5 Lessons The Bachelor Taught Us About What Not To Do In Relationships


1. Drinking on the first date

A glass of wine⏤or two⏤to ease the jitters on a first date is totally fine, but don't over drink. There is nothing more humiliating (or unattractive) than killing a bottle of Chardonnay and complaining about how terrible your ex-boyfriend is.


2. Emotionally slutty

As Carrie Bradshaw once said, "I revealed too much too soon. I was emotionally slutty." Don't reveal too much about yourself early on in the dating stage. Be mysterious. Not emotionally slutty.


3. Hide the crazy

While being crazy might get you to the top four on The Bachelor *cough* Corinne *cough* it tends to scare most respectable men away early on in a relationship. Yeah, we're hormonal, we PMS once a month, they understand that, but don't flaunt your crazy all at once, or all the time.


4. Clinginess

This goes hand in hand with number three. Nothing is wrong with being a little clingy with your guy from time to time, he might even think it's cute occasionally, but don't overdo it. Guys need their space, and frankly, so do you. Be independent. Guys like independence more than they like a koala strike.


5. Open relationships / dating other people

To each his own on this one, but I think if The Bachelor nation has taught us anything the last fifteen years, this is it. Yeah, there are some people who can do it, and that's fine, but dating more than one person is tough, complicated, and even heartbreaking. Don't go down that road unless you're prepared to deal with the consequences.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
