Let's paint a scenario:

You're in your pre-teen years, say about 14, you've just realized the significance of what it means to feel affectionate for that boy in your gym class or that girl who sits are the back table with all of her friends at lunch, suddenly you're on a mission.

Your day to day operations as you begin to plunge into the beginner stages of growing up no longer entail getting home to watch your favorite show or putting your full focus into becoming the star student of your English class. Now, you're headstrong to take on the path of making sure that guy/girl notices you well enough to create a spark, incite conversation, shoot your lucky roll of the dice and land you as the IT pair that's going around.

You actually nail it with either little or no struggle and now you're on top of the world and suddenly you feel empowered because you now have your dream relationship at hand......or so you think.

We've all been there before

"Guys, I'm telling you she's so awesome, I swear this is going a long way"
