The six reasons you’re not dating…(Yet!).

Get Ready To Fall In Love

It’s almost time for your school’s spring dance— and your besties are swooning over the sweet ways their BFs are asking them to the soirée of the season. You’re cute, smart and (not to toot your own horn) pretty darn funny— so why isn’t someone working on your promposal, you wonder? Well, consider this...

YOU MIGHT BE A LITTLE (TOO) PICKY.

Listen, we’re all about having high standards. But rolling out a mile-long must list (ahem, you’re looking for someone who’s tall, plays guitar and has a 4.5 GPA) doesn’t ensure a perfect pairing—trust us. Unicorns may be pretty, but they don’t always make us happy. Partnering up isn’t about prerequisites—so push aside your more superficial requirements and give someone unexpected a chance. It’s just a date, not forever.

YOUR FRIENDS FEEL MEH ABOUT YOUR CRUSH.
