When you really start connecting with someone, it really makes you start wondering. Are you guys "talking"? Are you guys exclusive? It's always awkward trying to not over step boundaries. Guys give off little signs that make it known if he's actually into you or if he's just messing around. On the other hand, if he bounces back and forth from showing/ not showing these signs, then he's not interested and it's time to move on.

1. Texting

Believe it or not, texting (communicating via phone) is super important in any relationship. Yes to the guys reading this, you don't always have to text first. Girls, it always starts out with the first conversation being started through the phone. If he can go days with out contacting you, he's not into you. If he's really considering anything further with you, he will want to talk to you a lot of the time. As he's texting you, what is his emoji choice? Is he sending smiley faces, or eggplant emojis with a smirk emoji? I don't need to explain that point.. but trust me when I say that emojis are important.

2. Hanging Out

Once you guys start texting consistently, next step is for one of you to ask to hang out. Right there you'll see if you're just someone to talk to or someone he actually wants to see. Typically if a guy makes an excuse or two, you let him off the hook. If he is continuously making excuses each time you guys make plans, he's not into you. There is no need to pressure a douche bag into hanging out with you if he's just not into it. Start giving him short replies and he will slowly fade away.

3. Seeing Him Out In Public

Once you have step one and two down, you're pretty much making your way towards the "talking" scene. The only thing that can bring the vibes down is seeing how he acts at a party/bar in front of other girls and his friends. This is probably the most important stage. No girl wants a guy to be sweet behind closed doors, and in public act like she doesn't exist. See how he goes up to you. Is he being flirty and touchy, or is he being short and awkward? No one wants to have feelings for a guy who wont even acknowledge their presence. If he just says hi then continues to go off and do his own thing, he's not that into you. A guy that digs you will pretty much give you most of his attention out in public and treat you like he has feelings for you.

These are the tree main stages in beginning a relationship. Once you stat hanging out, and he makes you his priority, congrats! You've now have moved on from the last person you were with, and now beginning a new relationship. Don't get discouraged by a guy not giving you that attention you want. Find someone new, because all guys aren't the same.

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.
