Do you wanna go out?

It depends totally on the person.

if you agree to wait to start a relationship with some one, is it okay to date other people while you wait?


It totally depends on who you are dating. I'd say in the begining be only with that person.

And there are rules depend on how serious it gets. If you are deep in a relationship obviously you can really be with anyone else.

Are in interested in someone?

In vino veritas

There's a place in the world for the angry young man With his working class ties and his radical plansHe refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl,He's always at home with his back to the wall.And he's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost,And he struggles and bleeds as he hangs on the cross-And he likes to be knowns as the angry young man.

I know Dan will be pissed at me, but I have to say this. Wilee, LMAO! You are one funny sumbitch

nellie, I try not to look at dating as involoving "rules". Everyone has their own ideas of what's right for them. Even if you've never been on a date before, I'm sure you have some idea of what you'd like a relationship to be. That idea should be your rules. If dating someone else before the summer doesn't feel right to you, then those should be your rules. You're the one that has to live with your decisions, so make your own rules.

I'd "suggest" living your life to the fullest, since you never know what the summer may bring. My philosophy is before you put all your eggs in one basket, you need to have the basket. Without the basket, you'll break your eggs. As long as I was honest with myself and the person I was dating, I felt OK about my decisions.

One last bit of advise. nellie, it seems you spend a lot of energy on this guy. From my experience, focusing too much on one person is never a good thing. It's obvious you're crazy about him. But if you're "too" crazy about him, it puts a real strain on your relationship (not just the dating variety). I've been down that road, both from your perspective and from his. Feel free to e-mail me if you want a friendly face to chat with. Take care. You seem like a real sweetie.

Every relationship is different and there are a myriad of levels and aspects to each.

Therefore there are no hard and fast rules.

However, since it arises so frequently, I'll restate some guidelines.

1. It's of primary importance to retain your sense of "self." No two people are alike and people see all manners of issues differently. It's OK to disagree. Your personality and thoughts are just as important as before.

2. A relationship should not involve pressure or the feeling that you're being asked to do something you don't want to do.

3. Open and honest communication is essential. You have to talk to each other!

4. Know in advance that the closer you get to someone the more vulnerable you become because they have power to hurt you. It sucks but it's a risk of any relationship. Therefore take time to get to know the person before declaring your undying love and devotion.
