CRUSHES

Artsy Hipster

More sensitive and creative than your typical cool-guy jock, the artsy kid at school is totes worth going after. Your convos will be more interesting, and he’s bound to introduce you to some cool folksy or electro music. The typical dinner-and-a-movie isn’t his go-to date. Instead, he’d rather take you to his favorite coffee shop or check out a local band’s show. You won’t regret mixing up your life with this new personality.

Tech Nerd

In the tech age, the nerds are the new popular. Everyone secretly wishes they were as witty as the techies. Dating a techie is a smart move because they’re innovative and interesting. Tech nerds are also really talented when it comes to paying attention to detail. Suddenly every birthday card and date is thought-out and planned well in advance. Get ready for a wild ride because smart kids don’t want to disappoint!

Drama King

There’s absolutely nuh-thin’ boring about a theatre kid. He’s clearly passionate about the musical he’s starring in this spring and will want to spend time with you memorizing lines and rehearsing musical numbers. Granted, ya might have to be understanding of his strict practice schedule, but he’ll also make time to do what you love. The best part about dating a drama king? You get to practice your dance moves and never feel like ya have to hold back your feelings. As an expressive couple, there’ll rarely be a time when you don’t understand how the other person feels.

Skater Boy

This guy loves to hang out with his gang, so you’ll get to chill with new guy friends too. But don’t worry; listening to Avril Lavigne isn’t required when going after this cutie. You two can exchange mix CDs of your fave alternative jams. The skater boy is typically laid-back and has a casual sense of style, so if you find that messy hair to be irresistible, he’s totally worth chasing after this year.
