I am at a point in my life where many of my friends are in long-term relationships. Many of those same friends wouldn't mind spending the rest of their lives with their current significant others. I have always been the single friend who gives everyone else advice, and while I'm a little tired of third-wheeling, I don't think I'll be in a relationship anytime soon. Here's why:

1. I am terrified to make the first move.

When I see a cute boy, I pretty much keep my mouth shut... forever. I'm not likely to ask them to even hang out as friends, nonetheless on a date. I will never make the first move... I have zero confidence.

2. Commitment is kind of scary.

Not to sound old-fashioned or generalize, but commitment isn't what it used to be. People are usually never satisfied these days, and it's scary to see something so good go south so quickly.

3. Sometimes I expect too much.

From both myself and others. I get upset when I don't receive the results I expected, too. This would be a factor in a relationship that's hard to work with.

4. My mental health hasn't been great lately.

I cried over not being able to successfully cook ground meat yesterday.

5. Feelings are dumb.

Feelings can really blind you from seeing something for how it truly is.

6. Dating apps will never be my thing.

I'm never gonna be able to message first. I'm never gonna wanna hook up and I'm never gonna be smooth enough to interact with boys on Tinder.

7. I have zero time to relax.

My schedule is jam-packed with schoolwork, regular work, and other commitments. I don't even know when I'd be able to make time for a possible date.

8. I am not a patient person.

I'm working on it, but patience is so not my strong-suit.

9. I don't know how to flirt.

?????Is there a class for this??????

10. I don't go out enough to meet someone.

The parties I do go to are with friends and friends only.

11. I'm incredibly awkward around boys.

Palms sweaty, mom's spaghetti awkward.

12. I'm not actually actively looking for anything.

It'll happen when it happens, right?

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
