When you really start connecting with someone, it really makes you start wondering. Are you guys "talking"? Are you guys exclusive? It's always awkward trying to not over step boundaries. Guys give off little signs that make it known if he's actually into you or if he's just messing around. On the other hand, if he bounces back and forth from showing/ not showing these signs, then he's not interested and it's time to move on.

1. Texting

Believe it or not, texting (communicating via phone) is super important in any relationship. Yes to the guys reading this, you don't always have to text first. Girls, it always starts out with the first conversation being started through the phone. If he can go days with out contacting you, he's not into you. If he's really considering anything further with you, he will want to talk to you a lot of the time. As he's texting you, what is his emoji choice? Is he sending smiley faces, or eggplant emojis with a smirk emoji? I don't need to explain that point.. but trust me when I say that emojis are important.

2. Hanging Out

Once you guys start texting consistently, next step is for one of you to ask to hang out. Right there you'll see if you're just someone to talk to or someone he actually wants to see. Typically if a guy makes an excuse or two, you let him off the hook. If he is continuously making excuses each time you guys make plans, he's not into you. There is no need to pressure a douche bag into hanging out with you if he's just not into it. Start giving him short replies and he will slowly fade away.

3. Seeing Him Out In Public

Once you have step one and two down, you're pretty much making your way towards the "talking" scene. The only thing that can bring the vibes down is seeing how he acts at a party/bar in front of other girls and his friends. This is probably the most important stage. No girl wants a guy to be sweet behind closed doors, and in public act like she doesn't exist. See how he goes up to you. Is he being flirty and touchy, or is he being short and awkward? No one wants to have feelings for a guy who wont even acknowledge their presence. If he just says hi then continues to go off and do his own thing, he's not that into you. A guy that digs you will pretty much give you most of his attention out in public and treat you like he has feelings for you.

These are the tree main stages in beginning a relationship. Once you stat hanging out, and he makes you his priority, congrats! You've now have moved on from the last person you were with, and now beginning a new relationship. Don't get discouraged by a guy not giving you that attention you want. Find someone new, because all guys aren't the same.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
