Love is a Working Title: Lizzy

Age? 25

Who was your first crush? Craig Manning from Degrassi

Who was your first kiss? My current boyfriend, Caleb

What are your views on Tinder and other dating apps? Coming from an outsider perspective I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand I feel like it would be a great way to connect with people you wouldn’t otherwise run into. On the other hand, I feel like it has to be stressful to have to interpret actions and messages on these dating apps and social media in general and putting a lot of pressure on every move you make.

What was the best date you ever had? It had to be when my boyfriend made arrangements for me to be able to visit him (we are in a long distant relationship) and we went camping in Palo Duro Canyon. We hiked, climbed and camped under the stars and it was one of the most beautiful and heartfelt trips I’ve ever been on. Since we don’t get to see each other often we don’t really get to take trips, so this meant a lot to me to finally be able to do.
What was the worst date you ever had? Caleb is the only relationship I’ve ever had and has always been the best at planning dates 🙂

What goes through your head when you first realize you have feelings for someone?Well I remember when I first met Caleb, I had feelings I had never had before. I’ve had crushes but these feelings were different than anything I’ve ever felt before, it was almost surreal to be overcome by them. My mind was always running with thoughts of “does he like me?” “What can i do to impress him?” “Does he even notice me?” and then anxiously wondering if he felt the same about me. Turns out he did 🙂

What is the first trait that attracts you to someone? I’d have to say personality, I believe it enhances all of their attractive qualities. If someone is extremely attractive but has a poor personality, it’s an immediate turnoff.

How would you describe heart break? I’ve never had a breakup, but I do experience a sense of heartbreak every time I have to say goodbye to Caleb. The best way I can describe it is that I can literally feel my heart hurt, like a piece of me is missing. It’s a sense of sadness that’s different kind of sad and hard to describe.

What is your break up routine? When Caleb and I have to say goodbye, my go to routine is usually some Taylor Swift and a glass of wine or some ice cream. I’ll also sometimes work on some crafts, keeping my mind busy helps a lot.

Have you ever been in love? Currently am and it’s the best feeling in the world.

Do you think it’s possible to love two people at the same time? I’d have to say no, because to me if you really loved person A, then you wouldn’t be falling in love with person B. Person A should be everything you want and need.

What does love mean to you? Love means being with someone you just mesh with. Someone that makes you feel secure with all the kindness and love they surround you with. Love means accepting someone for everything they are, the good qualities as well as their flaws. To me, love is the willingness to give their partner the world, because they deserve it for being yours. Love gives hope and that with it anything is possible.

What advice do you have for someone who has never been in love? Don’t give up, be patient and don’t compare yourself to others. Everyone’s story is different, and I believe that our person comes along when we need them to, and that happens at different times for everyone. When I was younger I honestly thought no on would ever love me, then Caleb came into my life when I needed someone, and I am forever thankful for that now.
