Before you start dating someone, you need to ask yourself: are you really ready for a relationship? It may sound silly, but trust me, it’s not. Relationships are a big deal. Being involved with someone else on both a different physical and emotional level can really affect not only how you feel, but also how you feel about yourself. It’s never a good idea to jump into one, no matter how much you like the person.

But figuring out whether or not you’re ready to take that more serious step might not be so easy. The pressure to be in a relationship and have a boyfriend may make you do things you just shouldn’t be doing yet. So, I’m here to make things a little bit more simple. Are you ready for a relationship? Copy and paste the questions into the comments and answer either yes or a no and then scroll to the bottom to find out. It’s not foolproof, but it might help you figure things out a little:

1. Are you mostly pretty happy with yourself?

2. Are you afraid to be single and alone?

3. Would you ever let your partner talk down to you?

4. Do you have very high expectations for your partner to fill?

5. Do you feel like you absolutely need a boyfriend, ASAP?

6. Are you completely over your ex?

7. Do you still think about your ex on a regular basis?

8. Would you be very jealous if you caught your boyfriend just chatting with another girl from school?

9. Are you good at compromising?

10. Do you feel like you could trust someone (is your guard down)?

11. Do you feel ready to hook up with someone?

12. Are you looking to make an ex jealous?

13. Are you willing to stop flirting with other guys?

14. Do you feel like you can talk to your crush about a lot of stuff?

15. Do you think any guy would be lucky to date you?

16. Do you know how to admit when you’re wrong?

Results:

If you answered “yes” to 8 or more questions… it seems like you’re ready for a relationship. But if the amount of yeses are closer to 8 than 16, still use caution when starting up something new.

If you answered an even amount of “yes” and “no”… you might be ready. Take some time to seriously consider things before you jump into something.

If you answered “no” to 8 or more questions… you’re not ready for something serious. Don’t freak out – you may just need a little more time to get to know yourself before you can start focusing on someone else.

Figure Out If It's Worth It

Before you do anything, you need to figure out if the relationship is really worth saving. This is something you should think about on your own without anyone else's opinion. Ask yourself a few questions: do you still love this person? Have they done something unforgivable? Are you happy with them at all? It sounds horrible, but making a pro/con list might help you figure things out. But please, don't ever show your BF this list. That's seriously mean.

Diagnose The Problem

Decided you want to give things another shot? Now it's time to figure out exactly what's wrong. You can try to do this on your own, but you should also involve your guy. Are things bad because someone is cheating or because one of you is too busy all the time? Are you guys together too much? Do you trust each other? Once you figure out the exact problem, then you can work on solving it.

Talk It Out

Like I said, it's best to involve your guy when trying to figure out what went wrong. You two should also have a serious talk. Confide in him about how you're feeling and encourage him to do the same. Try just listening instead of starting a fight. If you guys are having an issue, you need to discuss it no matter how uncomfortable it may be. It's not going to go away on it's own.

Spend More Time Together

Maybe the problem is that you two don't seem to have enough time for each other. If that's it, then you both need to make some more time. Schedule specific days to hang out and make legit plans. For a few weeks, you may have to make your BF one of your top priorities. If you're both super busy with school, try having study dates where you do homework together. Or if you're both working a lot, make dinner or movie dates.

Or Spend More Time Apart

Maybe the problem is that you're both around each other too much. If you guys hang out every single day and barely do anything else besides see each other, that could actually be hurting your relationship. I'm not saying you should take a break or see other people- I'm just saying you might need to let each other breathe a little bit. Make plans for a girl's night every week and have him make boy's night plans. Have some nights just for yourself. As weird as it seems, giving each other some space might bring you closer together.

Try Doing Something New Together

Maybe your relationship has just gotten, well, boring. Don't be embarrassed, it happens! But trying something new or going somewhere exciting can bring a spark back to your relationship. Plan a day trip to somewhere cool that you haven't been to before, like the zoo or a museum or even a mini vacay, if that's possible. Instead of spending every single hangout sesh making out and watching a movie, make a plan to do something new and exciting at least three times a month. It doesn't have to be huge, it just has to be different.

Don't Get Super Clingy

If your boyfriend seems a little more distant than usual, your first instinct may be to grab on and hold tight. Don't do that! No one likes to date someone who's needy and clingy - it's only going to push them away. I know you may be freaking out over what's going to happen, but try to relax and be normal. Remember what I said about space!

Source: ShutterStock

Maybe Leave Your Friends Out Of It

Most of the time, I would advise you to go to your friends to talk and get advice. But sometimes when it comes to relationships, that's not always the best idea. You and your BF may need to figure things out on your own, without letting the opinions of others affect your thought process.

Source: ShutterStock

Be Patient

If you're trying to work things out and make everything better, you need to be patient. None of these things are miracle cures - your relationship isn't going to do a 180 in a day. Be patient and wait for things to start getting better. I mean, I wouldn't wait six months, but don't give up after only two weeks.

Source: ShutterStock

Don't Be Scared To Let Go

The sad truth is that we can't always save a relationship. Sometimes things need to end, even if it makes you really sad and bummed out. If you feel like your relationship is never going to make it, it's okay to let go. Don't force yourself to make things work because you feel like you owe this guy something. If you're ultimately not happy and you feel like things won't change, or that things haven't changed despite your efforts, then it may be time to move on.

Despite the crazy amount of offensive and repeated tweets I saw, I also found some seriously funny/horrible tweets on ways to break up with someone. I hope no one ever uses these in real life. I mean, some of you out there are seriously brutal! We don’t really use these in real life, right? Right?! All I can say is, I hope none of these people ever dump me.

Umm, okay. Also, ew. 

Well, this is awkward…

Way harsh, Tai.

Any Harry Potter fans out there? You’ll appreciate this one.

Oh, man. Starting a breakup speech with babe. Burn!

Well, I mean yeah, this is pretty much what we all think, right?

Am I missing something or this is really just this weird?

Best breakup note ever, hands down.

Ouch. Well, at least she’s honest.

…And at least she’s confident?

Get it, guys? Because it’s like the song. GET IT?!

Um, I mean, sure… I guess.

I’m a grouchy girl this week!

Well. The past week has been quite the fiasco thanks to all the dramz between my friend Taylor and her grabby boyfriend Andy, who hit on me big time at her birthday party. I asked you girls to decide if I should tell Tay about her scuzzy BF and the answer was an overwhelming YES!

So, as always, I listened. Here’s what went down:

I spent all week steeling myself to spill the truth to Taylor, and had already decided that she would probably call me a liar and banish me from her life forever.

The second she sat down to brunch, everything just came tumbling out. The party, the closed door, the hair twirling—the whole sordid tale. I didn’t even look up the entire time I was talking, I was too afraid that she’d begun to breathe fire or was loading a gun or something.

Instead, she just sat there, arms crossed and brow furrowed, with a far away look on her face.

“Tay…?” I said slowly once I’d finished. “Are you OK? Please know that I’m not saying this to hurt—”

“I knew it,” she said suddenly. “I knew something was wrong.”

Now it was her turn to unload—for months, she’d had this nameless, niggling feeling about Andy. She couldn’t put her finger on it but something about him was…off.

“He would disappear for hours at night and then freak out if I asked where he’d been, saying I was invading his privacy,” she explained. “And I thought I saw him grope a cocktail waitress one night when we were out. But none of that seemed like enough to dump him, you know?

Source: Shutterstock

But my incident with him was. Taylor said that in a weird way, she felt relieved to have an iron-clad excuse to break things off.

“Thank you, Shallie,” she said through tears, reaching across the table to squeeze my hand. That weekend, she moved out of their apartment and in with her brother up town.

YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHAT HAPPENED NEXT.

It’s Saturday night, I’m lounging around with B watching The Expendables 2 (terrible movie, btw, do not see it) when my phone rings: Andy. For sure he was calling to scream and holler at me for ruining his romance with Taylor, right?

Uh, not exactly.

“So looks like we can finally take things to the next level,” he purred into the phone. I felt like I was hallucinating.

“I’m sorry—what??”

“I mean that’s why you told Taylor, right? Whatever. I’m over her, she was crazy anyway. What are you up to tonight? Come over.”

I just…did he?…I can’t even.

Source: Shutterstock

“Listen to me Andy and listen good,” I hissed. I guess I’d absorbed all of this raging testosterone by osmosis from the movie and was rarin’ to go. “You think Taylor was crazy? Well I’m a lunatic with no fear of jail and a clean record. You know what that means? It means I can light you up with a tube sock full of quarters and get off with probation, which I will gladly accept to defend my honor and that of Taylor’s, you got it? So if you ever, EVER come near us again, I am coming after you.”

As with all my crazy rants, I had no idea what that was actually supposed to mean. But the bluff sounded menacing enough, right? I mean who wants to get attacked by a sock full of coins? Not me. And, if his stammering apology was any indication, not Andy either. :)

Unfortunately, I did this whole thing in front of B, who hadn’t known anything about the saga. Now, he wants to sit down with Andy and “have a little chat” with him but I just want to let sleeping dogs lie, you know? Plus, Andy is nutso—what if things turn violent and he takes a swing?? I’d never forgive myself. What should I do, girls?

10 signs you’re a bad girlfriend

Hi Heather,

This probably sounds silly, but my friends and family always tease me about not having a boyfriend. I’ve tried telling them I’m not ready and I don’t want one right now. I’m only 16-years-old and I want to be free and chase after my dreams. I am just not ready for what they see as normal: meet a guy, fall in love, get married. It seems like no one understands me. Please give me some advice!

Hey – for what it’s worth, I think it’s great that you don’t want a boyfriend right now. A lot of people get caught up in wanting a relationship so much that they can’t focus on the great things about being single and on your own: getting to do what you want. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be single and it’s definitely not cool that everyone is making you feel bad about it.

Before you flip out, consider the fact that your friends and family may not realize how much this is bothering you. The next time one of them says something, don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself and say something like, “Can you stop? This is really bothering me.” Let everyone know that you’re happy being single and you don’t plan on changing that anytime soon. The more firm you are and confident you are in your decision, the more they’ll back off.

At the same time, you can’t control everyone. If they want to make fun of you for not wanting a boyfriend, you may not be able to stop them. In that case, do your best to ignore their annoying remarks. If a few of your friends are really bothering you about it, maybe stop hanging out with them so much – if they see you’re really angry, they might back off. In fact, it may help if you get really angry once or twice – that might help get your point across. I’m not saying you have to scream at everyone, but letting your friends and family know how annoyed they’re making you might help.

As for your dating life, don’t ever let anyone pressure you into having a boyfriend. It sounds like you’re pretty set on what you want, which is good, but remember to continue to do what you want. Sometimes, people are going to think what they want regardless of how you feel. You need to learn to ignore those people and continue to do what makes you happy. It’s your life, not theirs!

take care,
Heather

And when we’re the ones doing the wrong thing, it can sometimes be hard to convince ourselves of that.

You're Super Clingy

You love your boyfriend and you want to spend as much time with him as possible - totally understandable! But you can't have your BF all to yourself. He does have other friends and family members he needs to make time for. Part of a healthy relationship is being able to be apart sometimes. If you refuse to give your BF a boy's night out once or twice or a week or if you insist on doing absolutely everything together, you're going to suffocate him and probably push him away.

Source: ShutterStock

You Never Believe Anything He Says

As I've said a million times before, trust is a huge part of a relationship. If you feel like you don't trust your boyfriend, then maybe you shouldn't be with him. Doubting everything he says, constantly checking up on him and always believing he's doing something behind your back isn't fair to him. If he's given you a reason to not trust him, maybe it's time to move on. If he never has, you need to give him a fair chance.

Source: ShutterStock

You've Caught Yourself Lying To Him

If you've found yourself in more than a few "little white lies," that's not good either. Lying to your boyfriend isn't cool - don't tell him you're going one place when you're really going somewhere else. Don't lie to him about who you're hanging out with or who you're texting. Not only is lying downright rude, it's also messy, and getting caught is a quick way to end a relationship.

Source: ShutterStock

You Fight With Him... A Lot

Arguments happen occasionally in every good relationship. But if you find yourself constantly picking fights with your dude - something isn't right. If he annoys you all the time, maybe that means you need some time apart. Or, if you're just blaming him for things because you hate being wrong, you need to tone it down.

Source: ShutterStock

You're Only Dating Him Because You Want A Boyfriend

Maybe you were really sick of being single and alone when you met your BF. Maybe you just needed someone to cuddle with sometimes. It's okay to feel lonely - it's not okay to use someone because they can fix your loneliness a little. That's selfish. If you're only dating this guy until someone better comes along, stop. You owe it to him and yourself to date someone you really care about. Having a boyfriend is not that big of a deal that you need to force yourself to date one!

Source: ShutterStock

You Snoop Through His Stuff

Like I said before - trust is an important part of a relationship. That being said, snooping through your BF's stuff is not cool. How would you like if he did that to you? If you think something shady is going on, talk to him. Don't skim through his text messages or hunt down his Facebook password to check out what he's doing. That's disrespectful. His private stuff isn't yours to go through.

Source: ShutterStock

You Flirt... A Lot

A little flirting is harmless - emphasis on a little. But if you're known as the Class Flirt and you find yourself flirting with other guys more than your boyfriend, that's not okay. Be respectful towards your boyfriend and don't do things outside of your relationship that would make you uncomfortable if he did it. If you want to play the field, there's nothing wrong with that - just make sure you're single first.

Source: ShutterStock

His Friends Don't Like You

When you walk into a room of his buddies, do they all get sort of quiet and weird? Do you have a serious suspicion that none of them really like you? If none of your boyfriend's friends have any interest in getting to know you, it could be a sign that they think you're bad for their friend.

Source: ShutterStock

You Have Him Pay For Everything

There's absolutely nothing wrong with letting your guy pick up the bill for dinner or the movies once in a while. And there's nothing wrong with accepting surprise gifts from him or letting him treat you to dessert. But you shouldn't expect your BF to pay for everything all the time. Offer to pick up the check once in a while or treat him to his favorite ice cream flavor one night. Don't make him feel like he needs to pay for everything.

Source: ShutterStock

You're Trying To Change Him

A lot of times, girls go into "fixer-upper" relationships, meaning that they want to change some things about their boyfriend to suit their needs. That's not really fair to your boyfriend. You need to let him be his own person, even if what he's doing is annoying you. Unless he's doing something really wrong or seriously disrespecting you, you shouldn't try to change his behavior. If you want him to be different, maybe you're in the wrong relationship.

We’re always talking about the benefits of masturbation on Gurl, because… hey, masturbation is awesome! I don’t think it’s too hard to agree with that. But is there such a thing as overdoing it when it comes to masturbation? In fact – can masturbating too much actually ruin your relationship? A new study says, yeah, it’s possible.

Relax, relax. I’m not taking this study seriously and you probably shouldn’t either. Well actually, if you’re legitimately addicted to masturbation, you should take it seriously because then, yeah, your addiction is probably ruining your relationship. But if you’re just a girl who enjoys having a little fun on her own every once in a while (or everyday, whatever), you probably don’t have anything to worry about.

Why? Well, this study that says too much masturbating can possibly ruin your relationship is a study that was done on people who are legit addicted to masturbation. You can see how that may cause a problem.

Apparently, the survey was done to increase tolerance of excessive masturbation, because although it’s a serious issue, I guess not many people take it very seriously. I can see how it may come off as just plain creepy or as a lame excuse to some people, but guys, this is a real thing and really can cause some big problems in a relationship.

Do you have to worry about it? Probably not. If you’re masturbating multiple times a day every day, if you’d constantly rather play with yourself than hook up with someone else, if you feel like you can’t go a few hours without pleasuring yourself… then yeah, maybe you have an issue.

But if you’re just taking some time to masturbate every day? No worries! As we’ve said before, masturbating is fun and harmless. It’s a great way to get in touch with your sexuality, to figure out what you really like, to get in a better mood or to feel relaxed after a stressful day. Did I mention that it’s fun?

In conclusion, masturbating is not going to ruin your relationship. Like all great things, too much of it will cause problems (life is unfair). But as long as you’re not obsessed with masturbation, you should be fine. In fact, I’m encouraging you to masturbate, whether you’re in a relationship or not. I’m not trying to be creepy – it’s good for you!

Has masturbation ever ruined any of your relationships? Do you know anyone who is addicted to masturbation? Do you think you do it too much? Tell me in the comments!

Not Taylor and not Andy but def a guy I wasn’t pleased with!

Gurls, today we switch gears a little bit, shifting away from my own love life to the romance of my BFF…and how I hold her happiness in my hands.

“You tell me,” he said in a smokey Texas drawl, as he moved closer and closer to me. I kept backing up nervously trying to put some distance between us, and soon my back was up against the wall.

Ok fine mayyyybe not quite this dramatic, but you get the idea.

“Oh ha ha, Andy you’re such a kidder!” I don’t even know what that was supposed to mean, I was just trying to diffuse the sexual tension. Where was this coming from? He and T had recently moved in together and maybe he was feeling trapped and carnivorous? In another world, if Taylor or my boyfriend didn’t exist, maybe Andy and I would’ve gotten together. But they do exist. And I prefer both of them over Andy. Like, times a million. But Andy didn’t seem to feel that way.

“You know, Shallie, you and I have always had this…,” he paused, and twirled a lock of my hair between his fingers, “this thing between us, haven’t we?”Dude, seriously??

“That thing, Andrew, is our mutual love for Taylor.”

I pushed passed him and back out into the party, flushed, confused and just all dark and twisty inside.

Since the party, Andy acts like nothing has happened, and obviously Taylor knows nothing about it. I confided in my other BFF, who doesn’t know either of them, and she says I have a duty to tell Taylor what happened. But I don’t know. She’s so happy. Who am I to mess with that? Maybe it was a one time thing. Maybe he was just being weird.

What I do know for sure is that if I tell her and 1) she doesn’t believe me or 2) she confronts Andy but decides to stay with him, I lose her as a friend. It’s not fair, but it is what will happen. But is that just selfishness on my part? Is it better to give her up and prevent her from getting into a romance–and possibly a marriage!–with a bad guy? UGH HELP!

Tell me your thoughts in the comments, and don’t forget to visit me at my website and follow me on Twitter and Instagram. I’ll blindly obey and be back next week with a fresh new update!

But girl, you don’t deserve to be in a sucky relationship with a bad boyfriend! You deserve an awesome boyfriend who treats you right. If you sometimes find yourself wondering whether or not you have a terrible BF, you need to read this list of signs right now. Take a deep breath and really consider if your boyfriend is like this. If he exhibits more than a few signs, it may be time to kick him to the curb. Check out these signs that you have a bad boyfriend:

Your Friends and Family Hate Him

This is a huge sign. If one friend dislikes your BF, whatever - that may just be her thing. But if all of your friends and fam refuse to be around him or roll their eyes when you bring up this name, something's wrong. They want you to be happy and if they thought he was making you happy, they would at least make an effort.

Source: ShutterStock

He Hates All Of His Ex-Girlfriends

If his last relationship ended on really bad terms and he's doesn't care very much for his ex, that's okay - it happens. But if he consistently trash talks every single girl he's ever dated, what do you think he's going to do to you if you two break up? It's a sign that he's just not mature.

Source: ShutterStock

He Blames You For Everything

Everything is not all your fault. Your boyfriend should never be making you feel guilty for every single fight or blaming everything on you all the time. That's not cool! If he always finds a way to turn things around so that it's on you, run in other direction.

Source: ShutterStock

He Refuses To Compromise

There's a difference between knowing what you want and being selfish. A relationship is a two-way street and if your BF can't compromise, he's not worth keeping around. If everything has to be his way all the time, that's a major warning sign that he's a bad boyfriend.

Source: ShutterStock

You Guys Only Hang Out At Night

A healthy, loving relationship is not all about sex - that's what friends with benefits are for. If your dude is mysteriously only available Friday nights after 11 PM, that's not okay. He should be making time for you during the day and you guys should be doing more than just hooking up. Don't fall for the "I'm too busy" excuse. If he wants to see you, he will make time.

Source: ShutterStock

He Has A Terrible Reputation

If whenever you bring up his name to a new person, they cringe and say something like, "Oh, I know that guy,"... something's not right. You should never judge someone based off of reputation alone, but if everyone but you seems to dislike your BF, there might be a pretty solid reason. It's definitely worth looking into.

Source: ShutterStock

He's Kind Of Mean To You

Fights happen and sometimes couples are mean to each other. It's normal. But if your BF puts you down more constantly, that's not cool. He should be your support system, not someone who's always tearing you down! Don't let nasty comments slide by convincing yourself he didn't mean it. And if he verbally abuses you once in a while, that could very easily turn into all the time.

Source: ShutterStock

He's Super Jealous

Trust is a huge part of every relationship. It's not "cute" if your boyfriend is jealous all the time - it shows that he doesn't trust you or it could even mean that he's doing something behind your back that he feels guilty for. Don't let him screen your calls, sneak through your texts or demand explanations for every dude you talk to. He needs to learn to trust you for the relationship to go anywhere.

Source: ShutterStock

He's A Liar

Do you catch your boyfriend in a lot of "little" lies? Don't blow that stuff off. Your BF should be honest with you all the time, not just when he feels like it. Trust works both ways... how are you supposed to believe a total liar?

Source: ShutterStock

He's Really Possessive and Always Discourages You

Your BF should never discourage you from doing something you really want to do, even if it doesn't involve him. If he never lets you go out with friends without him or if he doesn't support your decisions to follow your dreams because thinks it's lame, that's not cool. You don't deserve to be with someone who doesn't believe in you or doesn't push you to be the best you can be.

8 signs your boyfriend wants to break up with you

Do you think they’ve had a “DTR” talk? | Source: Shutterstock

What is a relationship? At first, it kind of seems like an easy question. Oh yeah, a relationship! Like that thing you put on Facebook, right? However, what a relationship looks like to you may be different to another person.

So let’s get our defining hats on! If you want to get really AP English about it, the New Oxford American Dictionary defines a relationship as, “the way in which two or more concepts, objects, or people are connected.”

All true, but the formal definition is a little bit cold when you think about how the day-to-day use of “relationship” is usually to single out a special person.

Okay, so when people say, “I’m in a relationship,” a lot of times they are referring to an exclusive dating situation. That definition definitely works! But the thing is, that’s not always the case because the actual definition of a connection between two people leaves room for interpretation.

For example, not all relationships have to be romantic or sexual. You could have a close relationship with a parent, a friend or a mentor. Different types of relationships that fulfill different needs and purposes in our life are important, and they still meet that technical definition.

It’s natural to want a little more clarity about what your relationship means. I think the most important thing is that both people recognize that there is some sort of a connection. For example, as much as I would like to say I am in a relationship with Ryan Gosling, but since he’s not so clued into that, it’s just not a truth.

Beyond that though, a relationship can be whatever terms the people in it have deemed. You just can’t expect that another person automatically sees your relationship in the same way. You could think you are FWBs with a guy, but he could think you are exclusively dating. Maybe both of you use the term “relationship” to describe your connection, but clearly you don’t mean the same thing.

Usually with things like a friendship or a mentorship, it goes without saying what the expectations are in your relationship. When the relationship involves romance or sex, things can get a little fuzzy. You can try to figure out where the two of you are at, but usually that’s when a conversation is in order.

One of my fave shows, Awkward, introduced me to the idea of needing to DTR — “define the relationship.” Because relationships can mean different things to different people, it’s important for individuals to be on the same page about what a relationship means to them so they understand what sorts of expectations there are.

It may feel weird to bring it up, but honesty is an important part of a connection between two people in any kind of relationship. Other girls have dealt with DTR in the past, so know you are not alone.

While at first it seems like a simple term, “relationships” covers so much ground. Still, relationships with others – in their many forms – make our lives special and interesting. Here’s to healthy relationships for us all!
