You should get to know them more. Maybe they know a bunch about you, but you don’t know much about them. You should try to talk to them more about personal things. It could help you become closer and have a deeper relationship.

You’re pretty close to your friend. You just need to get on a deeper level with them. Tell them how you feel when your parents fi ght or how not getting the lead in the school play made you mad. hopefully, it would make them feeel like they can share anything with you.

You two are like Mac and Cheese. Green eggs and ham. You know each other so well, you can fi nish each others sentences! You know how to listen to them and you can make connects together. Just be sure to stay in touch, loosing contact could make you loose a great friend!

Take the friend poll....Do they go to your school?

Most of you have known your best friend for more than seven years. Being able to stick with one person for a while is a good sign that it’s a lasting friendship. Switching friends often makes it harder for you to keep secrets between each other and it could end in heartache.

More than half of your best friends go to your school. Being in the same school make it easier to be closer to them. Seeing them and being able to relate to things they’re involved in helps too.

Looking for that special “something” for that special “someone”?

Here are a few quick gift and date ideas to make your Valentine’s Day special.

Go on a picnic!Be tradtional with

your gift! Guys: Treat her like

the star she is!

A picnic together is always a fun! You can go to a place that is signifi cant to the both of you, or just take a walk to your nearest park. Either way, you’re bound to have a great time!

Can’t go wrong with fl owers and chocolate, this might just be the most classic romantic idea. (Make it white chocolate if you want a bit of originality there.)

Think your signifi cant other is a star? After a nice meal, why not take a walk down the peir at Kings Harbor or your neighborhood street and take a look at the starry sky. It’s a sweet idea that you’ll both always remember!

“Not-so-plain” white T’s! Make a scrapbook! Make it personal!

Sharpies ‘n White Tees. Write a poem on the back of their shirt. Or a picture...or song lyrics... Anything romantic! It will surely be a Valentine’s Day present to remember!

Those of you that have been in a relationship longer, why not make a scrapbook showing your good times together. Use old movie stubs, notes you’ve written to each other, and treasured photos.

Get your love some personalized M&M’s. You can customize them how you want, making them special in your own way.

Make your date super sweet!

Make her Valentine’s Day bear-y special!

Go on an outdoor adventure!

Make your own homemade ice cream. It’s really easy to make, and it’s a really fun bonding activity for you and your sweetheart. Plus, you’ll have a sweet treat to share after your hard work!

Buy her a huge teddy bear. This might not be a very practical gift, but it sure is cute and very sweet! Spray it with your cologne and write a cute “I Love You” card that the bear can hold for you!

There are many things you can do outdoors, including horseback riding, hiking, going for a bike ride, even camping! It’s a great way to exercise and have a fun time!
