Relationships should always start off slow, get to know each other before making your relationship "official." My boyfriend and I were friends for awhile before becoming boyfriend and girlfriend. The best way to know if he/she is acting real with you is by spending time together. Hang out alone and with friends just because people tend to act different alone and with their peers. You never want to rush into things when it involves another person. The slower the better meaning you don't want to jump into a relationship right away or rush things to make your relationship serious when you guys barely started being an "item." In my relationship Chris and I took things slow, we got to know each other, our friends, and families. It made our relationship a lot easier, never being nervous or worried about meeting each others' parents. By being friends with the person you like, you will get to know them in a different way. Once you two become an item, things will not be as hard because you got to know your boo as a person/friend.
