My name is Lyndsey and I'm 17 years old. I live in Lexington, South Carolina. I pride myself on being mature for my age with a good head on my shoulders, but I find I can be snippy when I hear something that just hits a nerve. I have a lot of strong opinions and I have no problem arguing them. I'm a very open-minded person and very tolerant of most things.
Immaturity is a big pet peeve of mine, as is self-centered, narrow-minded, and ignorant people. I can be cruel when it comes to these things, but sometimes certain people need to be told their faults. I know mine and I have no problem being confronted with them. If someone has a problem with me, online or in person, I'd rather they tell me and we can resolve the issue in a mature fashion. I won't tell you want to WANT to hear, just what you NEED to hear.
On a less serious note, I'm a laid back person and I enjoy shopping, the internet, and my favorite TV shows (Queer as Folk, The L Word, Friends, American Idol, Will & Grace, House). I don't have a large group of friends, but the ones I have are close and I love them to death. I generally enjoy life, minus the whole school deal. I'm a junior in high school and I can't wait to move on to college. I am an honors student and I hope to go to the University of South Carolina and then eventually into the medical field, possibly psychology.
If you have any questions or want advice, I'm here for ya, babes.

Hey advice givers. I'm in need of a little bit 'a help. I'm so confused about this whole dating concept, and I'm only 13/f. If a guy asks you out, as in, "Will you go out with me?" does that mean you're boyfriend and girlfriend? And is being girlfriend and boyfriend the same as dating? I'd just like to know because I'd be very embarassed to tell someone I was dating a guy, that I wasn't really dating. And is going on ONE date with a guy, officially dating? Or is it girlfriend and boyfriend automatically? Like going skating, or dinner, or going to the movies or something. If you were like going on a date on night with a guy, then a different guy the next, does that still make you single? Or is that kinda cheating... ? I'm very confused, sorry if this doesn't make very much sense. I really need an answer please, I don't know where else to ask! My friends don't know (most likely), and right now my mom isn't available. I can't ask my dad - we just don't talk about dating the same way. Please help!
Much Love,

Fun stuff. Okay, well, everyone is going to have their own opinion on this, but this is my philosophy:
If you go on one date with a guy, you aren't boyfriend/girlfriend, and you aren't "dating".
If you go on more than one date with a guy and are planning another, you can consider yourself "dating".
If you've kissed this guy on a regular basis, hung out with this guy on a regular basis, have went out with him for a while, and/or agree to this label, you are "boyfriend/girlfriend".
If you go on a date with one guy one night, and another guy the next night. You are NOT cheating. Unless you are officially "dating" and "exclusive", there is no cheating.
You are single until you are in an exclusive boyfriend/girlfriend situation. I also think that "taken" or "dating" would be a better status than "in a relationship" because that comes when things get long-term and serious.
Also, SOME people consider themselves single until they are engaged or married. MOST, however, deny being single if they are...attached.
I hope this helps or showed you a different perspective on things. :)
