So what happens if you go on a successful date? As crazy as it may seem even I have experienced one of those- they do exist gals! Good first dates? I know, who’d have thought it; the ‘Triumphant’ part is actually there for a reason. So, you go on your good date and you realise, yeah, you like this absolute honey. Or do you? Here’s the 5 stages of realising you’re in- deep.

  1. Butterflies, they’re there and there’s no denying it. Don’t try to pretend you get butterflies thinking about running into your friends, because you don’t. And he’s not just a friend. You’re body is telling you what you don’t wanna believe, sorry not sorry.
  1. Mails. That’s right, you’ve gone there, you’ve became that girl. You’re mailing him. And not only are you mailing him but you’re literally doing the worst most annoying thing a girl can do. You’re opening his mails and smiling, sometimes even laughing! I hate to be the bearer of bad news but this is a sign.
  1. You’ve already counted out anybody else as an eligible prince charming for your princess self. Yep, it’s got to that stage that you’re not even kissing randoms on a night out. And that’s a big thing! I mean, why waste your time on a loser when you’ve already found a sweetheart right? Agree? Ha! You like him.
  1. You’re friends are already sick of hearing about him. You and all your gals are chilling with some red wine and Oreos on a Friday night chatting about pasta. Oh my god yeah he loves pasta! You’re talking about exams with someone in your class, but wait he does exams too! Gal, if any conversation relates back to him it’s because he’s on your mind and you’re friends are soooooo over it already. Just admit it!
  1. Acceptance, I mean what’s the worst that can happen. So what he might have been a bit of an idiot in the past but if you don’t say yes you’ll never know. Make sure he feels the same and then do it. Take a risk.

Listen to Beyoncé gals. Whether that’s ‘Irreplaceable’ and you’re living the single life or ‘Love on Top’ and you’ve accepted he’s the one for you (at least for now) do your thing.

Luck and love, HCXO.
