I've been in quite a few relationships where things have worked, I've been in some where things didn't work the way I'd hoped, but we parted on good terms, and I've been in some that have ended with arguments, door slamming, name calling, and so on.

My Past Relationships

My first REAL (real meaning that we did more than hold hands at school) was when I was 13 and in the 7th grade. It was an overall good experience. As time progressed and things changed I became involved with all sorts of different people. Some bad boy types, some good boy types... a little bit of everything. I fell in love once before... that's kind of a long story that I'd be happy to explain later if anyone ever wants to know. I lost him though. I didn't admit my feelings soon enough and he moved on.

Looking at my past relationships, and my more current ones, I've realized that I've changed a lot. I think maybe it was falling in love that did it, but I've grown up. I'm more aware of what's important in a relationship, and I know what I'm looking for.

If It's Worth Your Time, Try It

My philosophy of relationships is this: if you think someone is worth your time, and thoughts and energy... than give it a try, what's the worst that could happen? You might have a good time dating them and if it doesn't work out, then at least you have the experience and you learned something. All relationships, good, bad, strange, and anywhere inbetween are a learnining experince.

From Dork to Flirt

Well... I'm young. Not younger than all of them, but I am still young. I went from being about the biggest dork in elementary to the biggest flirt in highschool. I know what it's like to be in love, and I know what it's like to be so out of love.
