Potential rule-breaker? Former heart-breaker? Why it’s not *always* a deal-breaker...
Summer means new people in your orbit—and that can mean boys who aren’t the same old sweeties you’ve known since third grade. While expanding your social circle is exciting, you also might be unsure about whether Mr. Mysterious is actually dateable… or needs to be ditched.
He’s up for anything
YOU DON’T NEED TO DARE *THIS* GUY TWICE...
Ditch him if… his idea of fun is experimenting with stuff—like bringing a mystery “punch” to your bestie’s pool party. Or anything that involves lying, cheating or stealing.
Date him if… he’s all about adventure without the illegal element. Think: a sweet surfer who’s an ace at wrangling waves or the daredevil skater doing serious jumps. An action-seeking guy will bring exciting new experiences—and get you outside your comfort zone in a safe way.
He’s (super) chill
HIS SUMMER VIBES? SUNNY AND CAREFREE.
