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 known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
