Love is a Working Title: Ryan

Age: 19

Who was your first crush?

My first crush was a girl named Teresa. I thought she was cute, obviously and I was really young so it clearly didn’t go anywhere.

Who was your first kiss?

My first kiss was one of my former girlfriends, Makayla Rodriguez when I was 12 or 13.

What are your views on Tinder and other dating apps?

My views on Tinder or dating apps like it are if it works for you, do it. I think the majority of users are on there just to kill time, but some use it seriously and something good comes from it. A close friend of mine dated a girl for a while that he met on Tinder.

What was the best date you ever had?

The best date I ever had was without a doubt my first date with my current girlfriend of three years, Brenna. It was a date at Taco Bell, I was super cheap! But seeing that we both had a great time and are still together, I’d say that cheap date worked out.

What was the worst date you ever had?

The worst date I’ve ever had was with a girl I “dated” in middle school. Those young relationships don’t mean much, but when you’re on a date and the parents are there, it’s always going to be awkward and a complete failure!

What goes through your head when you first realize you have feelings for someone?

First thing that goes through my mind when I have feelings for someone is can I benefit from this relationship and what positive things can I do for her. No sense in being in a relationship if you can’t make each other’s lives better.

What is the first trait that attracts you to someone?

The first trait that attracts me to someone is if they’re laid back and not too loud. I prefer and appreciate a girl that doesn’t have to constantly be the center of attention.

How would you describe heart break?

The easiest way for me to describe heart break is everything comes falling down. If it’s heart break because she left you, you must have really cared for her or loved her. But you have to move on and realize your life isn’t over.

What is your break up routine?

I honestly don’t have a breakup routine, only because before my current girlfriend I didn’t date a lot at all.

Have you ever been in love?

I have been in love and I’m now in love with the person who means most to me. She’s an amazing woman.

Do you think it’s possible to love two people at the same time?

I think it’s possible to love two people at the same time, but I think it’s completely wrong to do that to yourself. I do think you should, as inappropriate in this situation as it might sound, look at the pros and cons. But in a sense of WHO can make your life better and who can love you in the best way possible, and of course who you can do that for in return.

What does love mean to you?

Love to me means feeling this awesome comfort that anyone can give you. Some more than others.

What advice do you have for someone who has never been in love?

The advice I have for someone who has never been in love (if they want to be), is when you stop trying to find someone who loves you for you, they’ll find you. Sounds cliche, but it happened to me. Just focus on yourself and those around you and someone awesome will come into your life.

Kinda cheesy I guess, but how I met your mother is my favorite show and Ted uses the blue French horn he stole in the show’s beginning as a symbol for his love for Robin, and even at the end he brings it back to her. I guess that’s what I think of when I think of love. That it really doesn’t end if it’s true love.
