BRANDON: You have to make the first move.

KAITLYN: You can't seem too eager.

BRANDON: Don't text too frequently.

KAITLYN: Don't text back too quickly.

BRANDON: But don't take too long to reply.

KAITLYN: Someone else might be talking to them too.

BRANDON: You'll look desperate if you comment on every post.

KAITLYN: Who is that other girl commenting on all his posts?

BRANDON: Who else is she talking too?

KAITLYN: A little bit of jealousy shows you care.

BRANDON: Be nice, but not too nice.

KAITLYN: Be smart, but not too smart.

BRANDON: Keep your options open.

KAITLYN: Act like a lady.

KAITLYN: Hide your baggage or he'll think you're crazy.

BRANDON: Those song lyrics are directed at you.

KAITLYN: Don't be the first to say, "I love you."

BRANDON: Don't be the last of your friends to hookup.

KAITLYN: Chill doesn't mean what our parents think it means.

BRANDON: It's not cheating if you're just talking.

KAITLYN: There's always someone else.

BRANDON: You can end it with a text.

KAITLYN: You can't see tears through a phone.

BRANDON: When you see her in class, act normal.

KAITLYN: If you see him in the hall, pretend you don't.

BRANDON: You have to save face.

KAITLYN: You can't lose the break up.

BRANDON: Everybody knows—

KAITLYN: There are rules.

BOTH: Know how to play the game.
