编者按：有人说大学的毕业季就是情侣的分手季。连大学恋爱都难以经受住社会的考验，更何况是中学就开始的恋爱呢？所以说，和中学恋人一直走到现在是只有少数人才有的体验。来看看，和你的中学恋人走到现在是怎样一种体验？

　　The Good

　　好处

　　You’re dating your BFF。

　　你的约会对象是你永远最好的朋友。

　　He fell in love with you when you had braces and were experimenting with blue eye shadow。

　　他在你还穿吊带背心的年龄爱上了你，那个时候你才刚刚学会画蓝色的眼影。

　　There is truly no shame when it comes to your significant other. You can stuff your face with copious amounts of cheese fries at dinner and he won’t judge you。

　　在你的另一半面前仿佛永远不必感到害臊，晚饭时你可以把芝士薯条吃得满脸都是，因为他不会因此对你有成见。

　　There is no need to be embarrassed about downing three bottles of wine and confessing your love to him。

　　即使你喝了三杯酒之后向他表白了，也不必感到尴尬。

　　You two aren’t afraid of snapping that selfie in the middle of a busy place in broad daylight。

　　你俩也可以堂而皇之地在大庭广众之下玩自拍。

　　There are no awkward moments in your relationship; you can trust him with anything。

　　你们的恋爱中没有“尴尬”这个词，你可以无条件地信任他。

　　Your memories are priceless。

　　你们在一起的那些记忆是无价的。

　　You can be your overbearing, crazy self。

　　你可以毫不遮掩地做自己，霸道、疯狂。

　　I’ve witnessed some of my friends analyze how long they should wait to text last night’s hook up or watch their phones, hoping he will text because they “most definitely cannot text first”。

　　我看过很多闺蜜煞费苦心地分析在昨晚约会后多久才能给对方发短信，有的迫不及待地查看手机期待对方的短信。因为女生“当然不能先主动发信息啦”。

　　It is truly a blessing to be able to triple text someone without even thinking twice that it may be annoying。

　　无所顾虑地给一个人连发三次短信、而不用担心他会生气，这也的确很难得。

　　No dating rules apply when you’ve been dating someone since high school。

　　对于从中学就开始恋爱的你们，并没有什么约会法则可言。
