People argue that love, at first sight, is a real thing, but let's be real. We all pay attention to the little details of a person before we will ever drop the L word. If we notice any of these deal-breakers with a potential lover, though, count us out.

1. They are stuck in high school long after graduating

Listen, once high school is over, it's over. If the only social media pictures on your account are from high school sports and other activities, especially if one is set as your profile picture years later, consider us gone. Most of us want to forget high school, not relive it!

2. They have no ambition

Nothing is more attractive than a person with a plan. Nothing is less attractive than someone who could care less about their future. It will never be attractive to be careless.

3. They treat their parents with little respect

I firmly believe that there is a connection between how a person will treat their parents and how they will treat you. Nobody wants to be caught in a family feud on the first date.

4. They can't get off their phone

If they find social media more interesting than being on a date with you, they simply are not worth your time!

5. They still aren't over their ex


Nobody wants to be scrolling through their crush's Twitter only to find subtweets that are clearly intended for that person's ex. Be sure you are both ready to take things to the next level.

6. They hate dogs/cats

If your crush hates dogs and cats, run. Red flag. Unless they are allergic, of course, then it is open to discussion.

7. They move too far too fast

Boundaries are everything, and if a crush pushes it too far, know that they will likely continue to disregard your wishes.

8. They put little effort into building a relationship

You'll begin to feel like a hassle if you are the only person contributing to the potential relationship. Pretending not to care has never and never will be attractive.

9. They don't listen

If your crush does not care about what you have to say, do not bother trying to catch their attention.

10. They are not concerned with their hygiene

First impressions are everything, and if it is obvious they did not put any time into looking decent, it can say a lot about what kind of person they are.

We have all been victim to a crush who is guilty of one or more of these deal-breakers. Sometimes, it's okay to give them the benefit of the doubt, but most of the time it is perfectly fine to say sayonara!

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.
