You dont have topretend youre something youre not.TF: I think a friendship should come first,and after that you can build. I think thatsthe best way.BQ: When you dont care if they see youin your dirty clothes.BS: Someone you can act stupid around oryou can adjust to how they are acting. Ifyou act stupid, they dont mind. LikeBethany said, just being open.TF: Someone thats happy with you and isfriends with your friends and not alwayswanting to be alone.BQ: Some people act like they have to bewith you every moment, but I want mytime. The trust thing is important, too.Knowing that even though youre doingdifferent things, youre not scared thatsomething is going to happen.BS: And having boys night out.What are the bad things of arelationship?SS: Being tied down, straight up, thats it.TF: The break up. I dont like having toend it. Its fun in the middle and thebeginning. The worst thing is thedependence you have. I think thats why alot of people break up. People get toodependent and get scared and they end it.Its getting too close sometimes.BQ: Also when you get angry, thatshorrible. You get angry at the person youlike and youre mad. Even if its a littlething. I dont like being mad at all, and soI get mad about stuff and I am like, No Idont want to be mad, but I am.BS: Expecting too much out of yourself isAndy Sohthe worst thing. You always try to actdifferently or act a certain way, when youdont really need to.SS: I would have to agree with Bruce.What makes you want to be in arelationship?TF: To get closer to the person. I thinkits the best way, I mean, you can befriends, but theres something aboutbeing in a relationship that makes youcloser.BQ: To become friends with someone,because you always know that youll havethat to fall back on if things dont work.Whats the longest you have been in arelationship?BQ: Seven months and running.TF: Nine months.SS: Eleven months.BS: Two months.How does it feel to be in love?BQ: Its great. It hurts, but I like it.TF: I thought I was. I still dont know if Iwas or not, but its strange because youcant classify it. I dont think I was. Itshard to tell if its real or not.BS: Usually love is not what you reallycall love. Its ... I dont know.What do you look for in a relationship?TF: You have to be able to laugh or itsgoing to be boring as heck.BQ: I know that my boyfriend and I areextreme opposites in a lot of differentways. And I think thats one of the thingsthat makes it work. I still dontunderstand half the stuff he does or hismotivations, and it has been sevenmonths. It keeps it going.TF: Yeah, but some of the things I ampassionate about, like music. I needthose types of things to be similar justbecause I want to be able to put my heartinto something, and they dont feel theyare taking a back seat to it.BQ: I think being able to accept that thereare other things even if you do havedifferent interests. Understanding thatthe other person has differences.BS: I am going to have to quote from BigDaddy: Initiating conversation is halfthe battle. I think that conversation isthe most important thing. If you cant sitthere and talk with the person, then itsnot going to work out, but there also hasto be time where you can have silentmoments and still be comfortable.TF: And communication, because therecan be stupid fights and you have to knowthe person is going to be open.SS: Trust is what I look for. If you canttrust the person, then you cant build onanything. You can talk about anything butyou cant trust anything they say.Re-RufAnna ReDaniel RedmonGiff ReedCory ReevesCraig RegesterElijah ReichmannAndrew RemakJaclyn RenneisenAaron ReynoldsMichael ReynoldsJillian RichardsClint RichardsonAndrew RileyMitch RobertsRobin RobertsLuke Robinson-LongStacey RobisonDave RoedlAlicia RogersMegan RudicilJohn RuffJuniors 119
