We've all been there.

The 8 Stages Of Texting Someone New

We've all been there. You start texting a new cute guy whether you met him at a party, Starbucks, or you were set up by your friends. Here's the whole process as told by GIFs:

1. After you text them first

We all know that jittery feeling after we send the text for the first time. You immediately think of a million things you could have said instead, but eventually find peace in what you actually texted.

2. When you're tired but want to keep talking to them

You've been texting them all day and are annoying in your attempt to get to know them. You are enjoying this so much, you do not mind missing a couple of hours of sleep to keep talking to them.

3. Using "lol." A lot.

Lol has been around since instant messaging first came to be. When you first start texting someone, you add "lol" in almost everything even when it's not funny.

4. Ignoring/pausing reality to continue the conversation

We are all guilty of this: zoning out of class or a conversation because you're too busy texting.

5. Debating whether you should use emojis or not

There's always a debate whether to use emojis or not. On one hand you want to use the emoji to portray an emotion not in the text, but you also do not want to use too many. Ugh, the struggle.

6. Sending a text, and then thinking of something you could have said

You think you have the perfect text to send, and seconds after hitting send you think of something even better.

7. When they take forever to reply

Things were seemingly going well, then all of the sudden they take hours to reply. You decide you do not have time for this.

8. When they stop replying

Sometimes people stop replying. I guess they got tired of candid and funny texts. Oh well.

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.
