Are you lonely? Do you plan on spending this upcoming weekend on the couch, eating your feelings away with ice cream? If you answered YES to any of these questions, then you are in the right place, my friend. Have no fear, our EDUCATORS are here to help!

Yes, I have compiled a long list of beautiful advice on love, dating, and relationships from the people who have lived it: our teachers, who are here to help turn that loneliness into everlasting love.

You, dear reader, better start taking notes.

ADVICE FROM THE MISTERS

Coach Hall- “Be yourself and be outgoing. Don’t be afraid to take shots because you miss every shot you don’t take.”

Mr. Wadlington- “You are experimenting in one of the greatest games you will ever play. Take time, be smart, learn from one another, and find the skills you need to be a good, lifelong mate.

Officer Dade- “If you’re going on a date, don’t come empty handed, and go to the door instead of texting her.”

Coach Card- “Be ‘old fashioned’ and have manners. Also, always meet the parents before you start seeing their ‘precious’ children.”

This is a lot more beneficial and more appropriate advice than I thought the males would give. Props to them: they set the bar pretty high… but can the ladies of the building beat it? I’ll let you be the judge… and how are those notes coming along?

ADVICE FROM THE MISSES

Mrs. Bland- “Ask questions on a first date and actually listen to the answers.”

Mrs. Gilbert- “Don’t take things too seriously; you’ve got your whole life ahead of you.”

Mrs. Jones- “Date someone you’d want as a best friend.”

Mrs. Kautz- “Always date a person who is kind to strangers like waitresses and store clerks!”

Mrs. Senese- “Open yourself up to new possibilities, even if they aren’t ‘cool enough’ or ‘handsome/pretty enough.’”

Once again, great advice. If these teachers ever get bored of teaching, they may want to consider being a relationship counselor! Lastly, we have the jokesters, who answered the question with… some interesting responses.

FUNNY (BUT COMPLETELY TRUE) ADVICE

Mr. Senese- “Don’t have dreadlocks, and shower more than once a week. Also, get your driver’s license before the age of 21.”

Mr. Mason- “Always date above you.”

Mrs. McGowan- “Women are absolutely crazy and insane.”

Mr. Pellikan- “Be funny. Be yourself. I read that somewhere.”

Mr. Hartl- “Make sure the girl pays.”

And there you have it. Our absolutely amazing teachers have spoken, and now you have all the tools you need to be successful in finding love. I wish you luck in your everlasting journey to love and to be loved. Have an absolutely amazing Valentine’s Day!
