id="description_0"><h2>It's Okay If Things Don't Work Out</h2>Look, if something doesn’t feel right or make you completely happy, you shouldn't feel trapped or obligated to sacrifice your well-being. It doesn't make you a failure or a bad person for ending a relationship. If you talk about it and handle it maturely, it actually could allow both of you to go on to find the happiness you truly deserve.<p></p> Source: Adriana M. Barraza / WENN.com</span><span
id="description_1"><h2>Don't Air Your Dirty Laundry</h2>After a break-up, you may feel like venting, but if you get everyone talking about it, the less likely it is to go away. I don't really remember hearing Zooey talk about the personal details of her break-up with the media, and when I think about Zooey in the past year, only the success of her show comes to mind - not any lingering relationship details. It's a classy move to respect your former partner, but it also sets you up to get a fresh start.<p></p> Source: Jay Valena/ WENN.com</span><span
id="description_2"><h2>Try Becoming Friends First</h2>Speaking of <em>New Girl</em>, we can also take a lesson from her character Jess and her roommate Nick (Jake Johnson). We can tell that Nick and Jess are kind of meant to get together, but there’s something really nice about watching them come to love each other as friends first. Forming a really strong bond like Jess and Nick can be a real plus if you decide to start a relationship down the line.<p></p> Source: Cousart/JFXimages/WENN.com</span><span
id="description_3"><h2>Guys Who Are Just Friends Are Okay Too</h2>That said, you shouldn't feel pressured to strike up a relationship with a guy friend - whether your friends want you to or you're sick of being single - just because he happens to be there. You shouldn't settle like that, and it could damage those valuable friendships. Zooey is a great example of having some notable non-romantic friendships, like those with her former co-star Joseph Gordon-Levitt and her band partner M. Ward.<p></p> Source: Bridow/WENN.com</span><span
id="description_4"><h2>Don't Be Jealous Of Your Taken Sisters</h2>Sometimes we find ourselves comparing our love lives to those around us. However, if you use other people as a measure of your happiness, it can get you down or make those people uncomfortable. Seeing her sister Emily married could maybe make Zooey feel resentful, but instead these two seem like great friends who support each other no matter what is happening in the other's love life.<p></p> Source: Adriana M. Barraza / WENN.com</span><span
id="description_5"><h2>Don't Get Stuck With One Type</h2>Zooey is a lady of many talents, so it makes sense that when it comes to relationships, she's dated guys who have a variety of careers. She's dated actors, musicians and her alleged new boyfriend, Jamie Linden (pictured), is a screenwriter and director. It’s cool to learn some new things from who you are dating, so don’t be afraid to go for someone who maybe has different interests, skills or talents than yourself or your last boyfriend.<p></p> Source: WENN.com</span><span
id="description_6"><h2>Develop Your Passions Outside The Relationship</h2>Between her website (<a
href="http://hellogiggles.com/" target="_blank">HelloGiggles.com</a>), her band, and her show, recently things seem to be going pretty great in many areas of Zooey’s life. By taking a little time to explore your own passions and enjoy your personal success, it builds up your self-confidence, self-worth and gives you time to think about what you really want out of a relationship. You'll go into your next one even better for it.<p></p> Source: WENN.com</span><span
id="description_7"><h2>Overall, Don't Judge Love</h2>It's not only her actions, but her words that give us love lessons. We'll leave you with this wise gem attributed to Ms. Deschanel: "Love is individual to each person and I don’t think you can define it before experiencing it because it isn’t going to be the same for everybody.”<p></p> Source: Daniel Tanner/ WENN.com </span></span><script type="text/javascript">jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

However, the non-Harry members of One Direction are allegedly <a

When you start dating a guy, you start<strong> dating his world</strong> a little bit too. You can usually put off meeting the family until you’re a little more comfortable, but <strong>meeting his friends</strong> is bound to happen pretty darn quick. Just like we can get a little<strong> territorial</strong> about our friends when they introduce a new person into the mix, his friends can feel the same way.</p><p>The fact is that both you and his friends love <strong>hanging out</strong> with your boyfriend, so it&#8217;s important to make sure you are respected as the new girlfriend, but also that his friends aren&#8217;t cast aside. We&#8217;ve come up with some dos and dont&#8217;s to help you <strong>stay on the good side</strong> of your boyfriend’s friends &#8211; and hey, hopefully you&#8217;ll get to make some <strong>new friends</strong> in the process!</p><div

id="description_0"><h2>Do Respect Guy Time</h2>Allegedly Harry chose to fly to London with Taylor, rather than in the company of his band mates. Now, Harry did choose to hang with Taylor, so we're not faulting her. We're just saying his friends may not appreciate if you interrupt what they see as guy time. Don't expect him to hang out with you every waking moment, and if your guy has plans with his friends, don't be constantly checking in. His friends will appreciate that you trust your BF and you respect their time together.<p></p> Source: TNYF/WENN.com</span><span
id="description_1"><h2>Do Be Social</h2> It can be a little awkward to hang out with his friends if you don't know them well, but do your best to not just sit there. It can give off the impression that you're bored or disinterested and that isn't a good vibe to send to his friends or to get you future invites with the whole crew. Just be your usual awesome, funny self and you'll get more comfortable in no time!<p></p> <a

id="description_2"><h2>Don't Try To Get All Their Inside Jokes</h2>While you should definitely be social, don't try to overtake the situation. The inside jokes and stories he shares with his friends have a history. If you start acting like you get them or trying to one-up all their stories, that could annoy them or make them uncomfortable, which you don't want to do. Plus, you shouldn't feel like you have to change yourself to be just like one of them anyway. It's about getting to know the real you and creating your own inside jokes with them.<p></p> <a

id="description_3"><h2>Do Invite Them Along</h2>Don't just wait around for them to invite you places — make the suggestion yourself! One-on-one dates are awesome, but there's a lot of things you do as a duo that his friends can join in on. Do you really need to watch a movie just you two? Let his friends come along and ease their worries that you're trying to keep him away from them. Plus, your friends are pretty great too, so invite them along and let everyone mingle and spark some new friendships (or maybe even romances!).<p></p> <a

id="description_4"><h2>Don't Make Them Uncomfortable</h2>Now, if you DO invite them along, don't suddenly resent them for being there or act like they're invisible. Engaging in over-the-top PDA or not acknowledging them is basically just as bad as excluding them from the get go. If a night out with you guys turns into them feeling like an unnecessary third wheel, they'll probably not want to hang out with you two again, which could lead to a divide or resentment.<p></p> <a

id="description_5"><h2>Don't Judge Their Interests</h2>Close friends do weird things when they are together. You probably do it too. Judging their activities though is a straight ticket to trouble. Maybe you don't get why they have to do certain sports rituals or why they like certain TV shows, but the worst thing you can do is to act like it's stupid. Make an effort to understand it, but if it's not your thing, that's totally fine. Just let it be their thing.<p></p> <a

id="description_6"><h2>Do Try To Make Them Your Friends</h2>Just because your boyfriend is the link between you doesn't mean that should be the only topic of conversation. Only talking about your boyfriend can get old pretty quick, but talking about the history class you take with his friend is a way for you to bond over things besides your boyfriend. Being able to consider them your friends rather than just your boyfriend's friends will make for a closer relationship.<p></p> <a

id="description_7"><h2>Do Bring Something To Share</h2>In my experience, food is a great icebreaker. What sort of hang out doesn't get better with a snack? Plus it shows that you thought about the well being of the people you're about to see. You don't have to make a five course meal, but contributing some snacks when you see the gang is a great way to be remembered as an awesome addition to the group.<p></p> <a

id="description_8"><h2>Don't Make Him Choose</h2>If you give your BF a "me or them" ultimatum, it's only a matter of time before his friends find out and that won't go over well. If you feel like you're not getting quality time with the BF, it's totally valid to talk about it - just be very careful to not phrase it in a way that undermines his friendships. That said, if you feel like his friends don't respect you, he should be willing to stand up for you. His friends shouldn't be the only important relationship he values.<p></p> <a

/> The <strong>MTV VMAs</strong> are always full of surprises, and the 2012 show wasn&#8217;t an exception. <strong>Kevin Hart</strong> pulled no punches in his opening monologue from the <strong>2012 MTV Video Music Awards</strong>, and he addressed what he called &#8220;the elephant in the room&#8221;: the <strong>Kristen Stewart cheating scandal</strong>. Except it wasn&#8217;t really the elephant in the room until he made it one. (Check out the video of Kevin Hart at the VMAs below for the full scoop on his speech.)</p><p>While a lot of things didn&#8217;t shock us too much (oh hey, <a
title="Surprise – New One Direction Music Video!" href="http://www.gurl.com/videos/popular-videos-for-teen-girls/one-direction-more-than-this/">One Direction</a> slaying!), <strong>Kevin Hart defending Kristen Stewart</strong> shocked a lot of Twihards&#8211;and probably the <em>Twilight</em> cast, who were present for the ceremony. His take? &#8220;If she did? It&#8217;s over. <strong>Move on</strong>!&#8221;</p><p>To which we say: Dude, most of us <strong>already did</strong> &#8230; Until you brought it up again.</p><p>As you&#8211;and the whole world&#8211;probably know, Kristen Stewart was<strong> caught by paps <a

K-Stew responded to the photos with a heartfelt public apology to Rob&#8211;her first truly public acknowledgement of their relaysh&#8211;and then radio silence.</p><p>We<strong> felt pretty bad for Rob</strong>, who was in the audience at the time, for having this dredged up again. It&#8217;s hard enough to move on from a bad breakup when you&#8217;re not famous, but when you are, that crap gets thrown in your face 24/7. Even if you avoid the Internet and TV, eventually you&#8217;re going to leave your house and spy a magazine cover with your mugs on it and the word &#8220;CHEATING&#8221; emblazoned across your foreheads. Think of it like seeing your ex in your FB feed times a million.</p><p>The fact is, as a whole, people have pretty <strong>short attention spans</strong>, and a lot of people moved on from the K-Stew scandal already, if only because we had so many other things to <strong>distract us</strong>: <a

If Bieber so much as hugged a pretty female fan, the headline &#8220;Justin Cheats on Selena!!!!!!&#8221; would be everywhere the next day. How would you ever know what was real&#8230;and what wasn&#8217;t?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>3. One Word: GROUPIES</strong></p><div

href="https://twitter.com/#!/MileyCyrus/status/182945477547933696" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">huge rock</a> made the world wonder: Are<strong> Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus engaged</strong>?</p><p>While Miley and Liam are apparently not engaged, <strong>according to her Twitter</strong> this morning, the idea of them getting married is still on our minds. I mean, the cute couple paraded on red carpets together for Liam&#8217;s <em><strong>The Hunger Games</strong></em> premieres, and they hit up a Celeb Fight Night party arm in arm, with the rock still clearly visible&#8211;and they&#8217;ve been together for years.</p><p>While it may well be a brilliant &#8220;are they or aren&#8217;t they&#8221; publicity stunt (Liam did have a huge movie just come out), it raises a big question: <strong>Miley is 19, Liam is 22.</strong> Are they<strong> too young</strong> to get married&#8211;or if they really were engaged, would it be cool?</p><p>Consider: <strong>Miley and Liam</strong> met on the set of their film, <em>The Last Song</em>, when Miley was 16. Most if us are pretty different when we&#8217;re 16 than when we&#8217;re 19, let alone when we&#8217;re old and gray. If marriage is, ostensibly, a lifelong commitment, is it too soon for them to be tying the knot? If they got married in the next year or two, Miley wouldn&#8217;t even be able to <strong>legally sip champagne</strong> at her own wedding!</p><p>On the other hand, Miley <strong>grew up faster</strong> than a lot of other girls because of her career in the spotlight. While most of us want to see, learn, and experience new things before we settle down, she&#8217;s accomplished <em>so </em>much already. She&#8217;s well beyond financially secure, which is a big reason a lot of young couples put off a trip to the chapel (or courthouse, temple, or white sand beach). Because she&#8217;s been working hard since she was so young, she may feel she&#8217;s emotionally and mentally mature enough to tackle matrimony.</p><div

While <strong>marrying young</strong> has its <strong>benefits</strong>&#8211; for instance, your dating pool is a lot bigger, you can grow together, your chances of childbearing are really good, your boobs are still perky&#8211;it&#8217;s also <strong>more risky</strong> than waiting it out until you&#8217;re older. Because your dating pool is so much larger, there&#8217;s a lot more room for temptation. Think of it like channel surfing: How do I know what I&#8217;m watching is the best thing that&#8217;s on if I haven&#8217;t scanned through the rest of the premium channels yet? Additionally, growing up together can also mean growing apart.</p><p>The scariest part of marrying young? Couples who marry between 20 and 25 have a <strong>60% divorce rate</strong>! Miley&#8217;s not even 20 yet. Yikes!</p><p>Then again, it <em>is </em><strong>Liam Hemsworth</strong> she&#8217;s dating.</p><p><strong>Are you married or thinking about getting engaged?

class="wp-caption-text">weheartit.com</p></div><p>Recently <strong>I went through</strong> a breakup, a bad one (aren&#8217;t they all) and as I wallowed in misery and fried cheese sticks, I thought that things <strong>could not possibly</strong> get any worse. And then I thought about <strong>Katy Perry</strong>, who not only went through a split from Russell Brand, but a <em>divorce</em>&#8211;in public!</p><p>I suddenly sat up, peeled the <strong>congealed mozzarella</strong> off my face and thought that if Katy can move on graciously and gorgeously, so could I! Since then, I&#8217;ve been following <strong>her every move</strong> and using it as a template for my own newly-single self.</p><p>So imagine my delight when I hear that my girl K.Per has been smooching with <strong>Baptiste Giabaconi</strong>, the highest paid (and arguably hottest) male model in the world. I hear that he became <strong>smitten with her</strong> after they met at Paris fashion week. Who knows if their flirtation will stand the test of time, but it made me realize that I&#8217;ve learned quite a few <strong>love lessons</strong> from the &#8220;Firework&#8221; singer without even realizing it&#8230;</p><p><strong>Love Lesson #1: Get a New Look<br

/> Lots of girls dash off to the salon to get the infamous &#8220;break-up bob&#8221; after a sudden split, but Katy took it one step further with the <em>blue </em>break-up bob! There&#8217;s nothing like switching up your style to get a fresh perspective on yourself and your life. But before you go nuts with a packet of Kool-Aid, try subtle changes, like parting your hair on the other side, committing yourself to perfect posture for one week straight, or swapping your stand-by Converse for brightly colored flats.<br

/> Just like Katy, I split with my beau around Christmas time. But while I chose to drown my sorrows in sugar cookies and self-pity, Katy jetted off to Hawaii for some splashy fun with her girlfriends. Surely, they told her (in great detail) all the things they hated about Russell and why she&#8217;s much better off without him. Let your chicks cheer you up and whatever you do, steer clear of the cookie dough.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Love Lesson #3: Zip the Lip</strong></p><p><div

/> When you&#8217;re heartbroken, you tell just about everyone caught standing still all the gory details. But it&#8217;s a bad idea. Yes, worse than the cookie dough. The more you talk, the more you look crazy and undateable to any potential true love and of course, it prevents you from moving on. A wound can&#8217;t heal if you&#8217;re constantly picking at it! Katy could have easily slammed Russell for a million different things (those leggings alone, yuck) but she kept it silent and classy.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Love Lesson #4: Find the Hottest, Richest Dude Out There And Make Out with Him.

class="wp-caption-text">For real though, how cute are these two? | Source: Celebuzz.com</p></div><p><strong>Ever since</strong> she began working with him on <em>The Lorax</em>, the world has been asking: Is <strong>Taylor Swift dating Zac Efron</strong>? After all, it wouldn&#8217;t be the first time Taylor&#8217;s or Zac&#8217;s hooked up with a costar. (Remember her short-lived but highly-publicized romance with <strong>Taylor Lautner</strong> during <em>Valentine&#8217;s Day </em>and his long-term love affair with <strong>Vanessa Hudgens</strong>?)</p><p>Taylor and Zac both have the clean-cut, all-American thing going for them, and the fact that they&#8217;re both gorgeous doesn&#8217;t hurt either. Considering her string of <strong>high-profile relationships</strong> (hello, <strong>Joe Jonas, Jake Gyllenhaal, John Mayer,</strong> and maybe <strong>Eddie Redmayne</strong>), she&#8217;s pretty much living the dream. No wonder she sings about fairy tales so much!</p><p>The duo were recently spotted on a <strong>dinner date</strong>, and now that <strong><em>The Lorax </em></strong>press tour is in full force (the movie comes out on Dr. Seuss Day, March 2), they&#8217;ll be together more than ever. They sat down with <strong>Ellen Degeneres</strong> to talk &#8212; and sing! &#8212; about their relationship. So are they or aren&#8217;t they?</p><p>During a duet of a revamped cover of <strong>Foster the People&#8217;s &#8220;Pumped Up Kicks,&#8221;</strong> the pair sing about how weird it is being on <em>Ellen </em>and being asked about their dating lives &#8212; but they never actually tell us what&#8217;s up! We think they&#8217;re adorable, but we gotta admit: we get a <strong>platonic-pal vibe</strong> from Taylor and Zac (at least here).
