There’s this person in class that I like, what should I do? -Anonymous
You should first find a clever or cute way to introduce yourself! The last thing you want to do is come off as a creeper, but that doesn’t mean you have to be afraid of approaching him. I’ve seen people try things from cheesy to slick. ie: sitting near or next to him; ask him a question about a recent hw or assignment; etc. First impressions are important, but the most important thing for you right now is to have him even acknowledge your existence! Maybe throw in a friendly smile when you two make eye contact so he starts thinking. Assuming that everything goes smoothly, from there you can slowly ask him to hangout, grab a small bite (brunch, lunch, lunner, no dinner because that may be too fast too soon. And hopefully things just fall into place from there (:
So me and my boyfriend have been together for six months and we’re pretty much inseperable. We have the same beliefs, morals, etc. The thing is, we’re currently in a long distance relationship right now, but it’s still going well so far! Everyone has some doubt about us, because they just condone anything that’s long distant. What do you think?
If it’s going well so far, then there shouldn’t be TOO much you need to change or worry about. One of the most important things to keep in the back of your mind is to make sure things don’t become stagnant; in other words, keep things exciting/spontaneous/adventurous/whatever else that has been working for you two! In doing so, the “fire” will be kept alive, and, who knows, maybe more sparks will fly! Also, some people condone long distance relationships for a lot of reasons: insecurity, jealousy, bad experiences, etc. BUT, that doesn’t mean yours can’t be one of those unique, special long distance relationships that work out! One of the coolest things that I’ve seen a lot of successful long distance couples do is to surprise their significant other by spontaneously visiting them out of nowhere or even something smaller like sending him a small gift/care package just to show him that you’re thinking of him and missing him. Be creative and think of ways to keep each other in the loop! Whether it be skyping, phone calls, texts, love letters, or sending gifts.
