Fall Out Boy

Well, I spotted this in Seventeen magazine. These are dating tips from Pete himself. Enjoy.

Read His Body Language

You can definitely tell who’s interested in you and who’s platonic by paying attention to how a guy moves around you. When I was in high school, my thing was to get as close as humanly possible to a girl and just make her have to kiss me! You do the hug that’s too close, where your mouth is close to hers and you kinda feel it out a little bit.

Get Out There

You’re gonna meet tons of different people throughout your life, and it’s totally worth it to stick your neck out a little bit if you like someone. Even when you get shot down, it seems really devastating, but it’s not in the long run. That’s one of the things I really wish I had been able to tell myself in high school: “Man, it’s not really the end of the world that you’re single. It’s your time to figure out what’s right for you.”

Take a Chance

Sometimes the person that is best for you is the person right under your nose. I wanted to have a girlfriend in high school, and I know I would have treated a girl well, but instead I was just friends with a lot of girls. They ended up telling me later on, “We’re so perfect together,” but at the time I wasn’t the cool-enough guy. It’s important to look past superficial stuff, like whether the guy hangs out with popular kids. It’s worth it to go after the black sheep!

Make Out if You Want

To me, it’s not really that big of a deal. I think that it’s cool when people can feel free with that kind of thing. I’m pretty much a prude other than that, so I don’t feel bad about myself. I remember my first kisses with a lot of people, and they’re rad experiences. And you don’t have to really take it to that next level because that’s what keeps it exciting.
