0-4
Friend. It's not that you don't like boys. But your interest
is more platonic-you're looking at them as friend material, not as potential
boyfriends. If and when you're ready for a real relationship, your heart
and mind will let you know.
5-9
More Than a Friend. Your feelings are still a little mixed,
but the relationship signals are getting stronger. The truth is, if one
special guy shows you the right amount of interest, the scales might tip
and push you into the next category. But don't rush into a relationship
if you're not sure it's appropriate for you. And don't forget, if your
parents will not allow you to date until you're older, that may keep you
in the Friend category just a little longer.
10-14
Girlfriend. You're ready to roll into a relationship, and you
know it. That doesn't mean that you're sworn for life to the particular
guy you have a crush on now. But you can see yourself as part of a twosome.
If, at any point, the relationship doesn't feel comfortable, remember that
you're free to leave. But, unless the guy has really been awful to you,
do it in a way that's honest but gentle. And if the guy has been a pig?
He doesn't deserve any special consideration when you dump him.
