Knowing where you’re at in a relationship is tricky. Take this quiz, and I’ll tell you exactly where you and your partner are on The Seriousness Scale.
Q1: You get a text from your S.O. It says, “Dinner tonight?” You…
A. Assume the whole friend group is coming along. Text the group chat, “What time works?”
B. Text back “Caf, 5:30?” (Because we all know the Ole Choir rush is at 6).
C. This is a total date! Text back, “Chapati n’ chill?”

Q3: It’s 10:00 P.M. and you run into each other, both headed back to your dorms. You…
A. Walk them back to their dorm.

Mostly A: The We-Act-Like-Friends-But-With-More-Sexual-Tension Stage
You two do everything together. It’s a classic, “will they/won’t they” scenario. You somehow always end up sitting next to each other, and do that weird couple thing where you lean forward like the other person is a magnet. You think, “Huh, this isn’t how magnets work” but then you forget that thought because you’re staring at their mouth and OMG can they just kiss you already?!
Mostly B: The Toothbrush-in-Their-Room-And-They-Are-Your-Emergency-Contact Stage
You two have probably been together for a while. You trust each other and know how to take care of each other. No more morning breath kisses. Not that romance is dead, they’ll go out of their way to make any date what they know is your version of perfect.
Mostly C: The Cinderella-Birds-Do-All-My-Chores-Life-Is-Perfect Stage
You are both in love, and you are not afraid to flaunt it! The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming. They can do no wrong, and the two of you are in bliss. I’m calling “Honeymoon Phase!”
Mostly D: The Maybe-Kinda-Sorta-Hold-Hands-In-Public-Sometimes Stage
You two both like each other, but you probably haven’t defined the relationship, you know? But you might sometimes kinda maybe hold hands when you walk to lunch together. This relationship is just beginning to bloom.
