5 Things Girls Who've Never Had A Real Relationship Need to Know

 Hi, my name is Grace. I am 19, a sophomore in college, and I have never had a boyfriend.

You Don't Need a Man

Yes, I know. This is said over and over again. Coming from someone who wishes she had a mans to cuddle with, this is something I hold near and dear to my heart. It's a nice thought to have someone in your life to care for you and to snuggle with you when it's cold out, but in the grand scheme of things, you are a strong woman. You do not need a man to validate this.

Never Settle For Less  

Sometimes, I think to myself, "gee...are my expectations too high?" but then I remind myself I deserve the best. You do too. Don't just settle for someone because you want a boyfriend. It's not fair to you, and quite honestly, not to the guy either. He doesn't deserve to get strung along for the same reasons you don't deserve to be strung along. Be honest with yourself and be honest in your relationship .If he isn't treating you right, and I know it's hard, but leave the relationship. You matter just as much as your partner. You need to be happy in your relationship.

There is Nothing Wrong With You

This one is pretty self explanatory. You are you. You are a wonderful person, and if the men you have interacted with in your life don't see this, it is their loss. Keep being you, you wonderful, perfect person. You know you deserve the best.

The Right Guy will Come Around

Eventually, we will no longer be perpetually single. We will be in relationships, we will date people, and some of us will be lucky to get the right guy on the first try. But, we also know that this almost never happens. One of the greatest pieces of advice my mom told me before I went to college was, "date a lot" not in a sleeping around type of way, but to see the guys that are out there, to understand what I need in a partner. It may take years to find the right person, but they are somewhere out there. Patience is a virtue. I know it sounds cheesy, that we all have "the one" but I believe we have several "the ones" in our lives, just at various stages.   

It can be hard to have literally been single your whole life, especially when you see people on Instagram and Facebook super happy with their significant other. But, at the end of the day, someone will come along to watch Disney movies at 2 AM with you. And when all else fails, adopt a dog or cat and eat a bunch of chocolate.

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.
