So you meet this nice guy/girl in a cozy café one weekend while you’re just taking a short break from reports and papers you need to work on. One day, you decide to go out with that person to a specific basketball/football game. Fortunately, it’s your school that’s going to play so you readily agreed. You prepared this small banner for your school and getting ready for a good game. When you met up – there’s one slight loophole. The person’s from another school--a rival school to be exact! What to do now? Well, here are some tips for when you fall for someone from a rival school:
Realizing that it’s not a big deal
Dating someone from another school – a rival school to be exact – isn’t really a big deal. All you have to do is to face it casually, and keep your cool especially if you really support your basketball/football badly. It’s easy to blend in if students in your school don’t really wear uniforms. As long as you don’t start fights or get offended when someone says something bad about your school, people won’t even notice you’re there. Just act like another face in the crowd and you should be just fine.
Getting out of your school attire
If you wear a school uniform, you can change clothes before going to the other school or anywhere in public. Just keep a black shirt in the back of your car to change into when you get out of school. You’ll be able to blend in a lot better that way, and it’s slimming too! Don’t wear something that suggests you go to another school. No spirit shirts, jerseys, or club shirts. Keep it neutral.
Where to meet your rival
It will better if you and the person you’re dating can meet in a neutral place – a café, a restaurant or the mall where everyone’s there. If you are really active in your school, people might recognize you at the other school, which could lead to a fight. Try to go somewhere that no one will notice you, or where there isn’t a chance that you’ll have to go through any tension associated with school rivalry. The more you can go under the radar, the better your relationship will be.
Dealing with the distance
Chances are you won’t see each other often since you are in school most of the day. Just keep in touch with the person as much as you can. Do a little secret texting in class and call each other at lunch. If there are any school fairs (where everyone can go) just ask them to come over. After that, just cherish the rare moments you do get together as much as you can. Be sure that you devote your dates solely to each other, not for school projects or activities. When you are together, just be yourselves, no school involved. You can keep up a rival relationship for awhile as long as you communicate.
