I’ve had several disastrous and several good Valentine’s Days throughout my life. I never really got worked up over it or had high expectations because that’s when things go wrong. Whether you’re in a relationship or not, Valentine’s Day does take some preparation.

If you’re in one, you have to figure out what you’re doing with your boo. If you’re not, you probably don’t want to spend it alone so you should prep for a girls’ night. I’ve done tons of V-Day girls’ nights and those have been my favorites. There’s nothing better than spending a lovey-dovey holiday with your loving besties.

I’m not the Queen of Hearts or anything, but I’ve got your complete guide on preparing for Valentine’s Day right here so go ahead and click through!

Maybe you’re more into Bach than Bieber, or you’d rather focus on quantum mechanics than the mall. Maybe you have a really unique style or look that no one else quite “gets” just yet, or a distinctive voice (dude, lisps are adorbs), or you’re too shy to approach others–and it’s taken as being “weird.”

In any case, you don’t really fit in at school. Does it suck a little? Probably–and sometimes it can suck a lot (hello, awkward first day in the cafeteria). But it’s not the end of the world. In fact, you may not realize it now, but it’s probably a sort of awesome thing in the long run (but more on that later).

Still, that doesn’t mean it’s super easy to deal with in the moment. But it can be. Here’s how.

First dates are super awesome, but admit it: They can also be super stressful! From what to wear to what to say to whether or not he’s going to kiss you goodnight, it’s so easy to become a bucket full of nerves before a first date.

Thing is, if the guy asked you out–or if he said yes when you asked him (which we heart, btw!)–he totally likes you. And guess what? He’s probably just as nervous as you are!

Of course, you’re probably still freaking out about few things, because, well, you’re human. And he’s cute. We’re here to help!

First of all, you must must MUST be at least eighteen years old to sign up for every online dating site out there. I hate to get all Mean Auntie Caitlin on y’all, but this is not negotiable! Two reasons: one, and most importantly, if you are under eighteen it can be crazy illegal bad news for you to get involved with someone older, and two . . . go read that first one again.

Okay. Are you with me? Let’s go!
