CRUSHES

Sometimes it can seem like everyone you know is in a relationship or had their first kiss already when you’ve never even been on a date! But it’s totally normal not to have had a bae yet and, spoiler alert, you’re def not alone. See if you can relate to any of these #singlelife thoughts below.

“Just how realistic are rom-coms, exactly?”

Does anyone actually kiss in the rain? Or drive to airports to confess their love?

“Everyone is growing up so fast!”

Don’t worry about everyone else—it’s more important to wait until *you* are ready to date.

“I don’t need a boyfriend—I’m my own valentine!”

Gotta love yourself first.

“I’m so glad my friend got a boyfriend! But also a tiny bit jealous…”

It’s understandable to be a li'l jealous, as long as your friendship’s still going strong!

“At least I’ve never had to go through a breakup before.”

Just one of the benefits of the single-pringle life.

“Being in a relationship seems really complicated.”

One of the good things about waiting until the right person comes along? Things will just fall into place

“I’m going to be single forever!”

There are other ways to have fun and be happy—dating isn’t everything. And you definitely won't be single forever!

“Is there something wrong with me?”

Nope—if someone doesn’t like you for the amazing gal you are, then they’re *so* not worth it.

“I’m super busy right now—I don’t need a boyfriend.”

With school, sports and clubs (not to mention that new TV show you’re obsessed with), maybe you don’t have time to be in a relationship, and there’s nothing wrong with that!

“Should I make the first move?”

Go for it!
