Summer fling?

I understand that a lot of you... don't have very good luck with relationships during the school year. That's what summer is for! You can have a really relaxed relationship. Who wouldn't want that?

But then you wonder, "how can I get a summer fling?" Whether you're stuck at home, or across the country, or even in another continent, here's how you can have your own summer romance.

First, and most importantly, you need to ditch anyone who might get in your way. It may be your parents, siblings, or even your best friend. Just tell them that maybe you want to go to the beach alone or go on a roller coaster ride alone, or something like that.

Then, you need to find someone cute. It may be some guy/girl who's waiting in line to go on the ferris wheel alone, or someone who looks bored at the beach. Approach them with a friendly "hi" or "what's up?" Want to be more flirty? Don't be shy; just say what you think. "I couldn't help but notice you here alone and I wanted to know if your boy/girlfriend is as cute as you are." Don't forget to smile, and maybe even add a wink!

Start getting flirty and ask some questions about them, too. (Just to get the ball rolling). Then, if you decide you like this person, go in for the kill and ask them out on a date. You could say something like, "I hope I'll see you here tomorrow, and maybe we could ditch this place and do something more fun?" That way, it's less pressure than just saying, "do you want to come to my house at four?"

SOMETHING FUN TO DO OVER THE SUMMER:

Buy a snow cone machine and make snow cones! An easy alternative, if you don't have one is to crush ice in a blender, scoop it into a paper cone, and then drizzle some flavoring over it. Buy all sorts of flavors, like lime, lemon, pina colada, watermelon, or strawberry! Happy licking. A note to all my perverts: don't even think about saying "that's what she said."
