Now that the days are
longer, hotter and school is out, you have all the time in the world for a
summer romance. So what if you have a summer job? You still have more time
for a social life than if you were in school. So what can you do, as a teen,
to find a summer romance? To keep a summer romance? What should you expect,
as a teen, when looking for a summer romance? And how can you keep a summer
romance going PAST the summer? Here are some tips which should answer your
questions:
There are tons of
fantastic places to meet someone:
. the beach/the park
. take in an outdoor concert or any type of concert
. go on a group date
. the gym
. be active in an outdoor sport
. take in an outdoor concert
. take on a volunteer job
. take on a paying job
. go jogging or rollerblading or for a walk
. the mall
. become a camp counselor and meet other "available" counselors
Make
yourself available
Don’t sit at home. Get out
in the open. Always have a smile on your face. Say hello to people as you
pass them. Get out of your shy shell and be approachable.
When you’ve met someone,
ask yourself these questions:
Do the two of you share
common interests?
Does your schedule make you
available to spend time with this person?
Does this person have a
steady back home?
When the summer ends, will
the two of you be able to find the means to see one another?
If this person went to your
school, would you have gone out with them?
Are they willing to make
the trip to visit you?
Most summer romances are just that... romances that happen in the summer.
Just because it may not work out doesn't mean that there wasn't something
there to begin with. A lot of times when the other person goes back
home, or you head back home, reality sets in and the excitement from the
summer is gone as they hit the books once more and return to a regular
schedule of their daily lives.
This does not mean that all
summer romances have to end. It will just take a bit more work to keep
the spark going while the two of you are apart. And if it's "true love"
then a two or three hour bus trip to see one another won't be a burden.
Maybe you won't be able to see one another every week, or even every month,
but if they truly are into you then they will make the effort to come and see
you.
So enjoy your summer
romance possibilities. The best advice: make every moment count!
