He's the Zach to your Kelly, and you love him and everything, but you're going to different colleges hours apart. Should you try to make it work long-distance or forget it?

What You Should Do: Ditch his ass.

Hear us out: It'll be hard, but holding on to your high school boyfriend is like holding on to your past. "College is your time to re-invent yourself, not spend hours on video chat talking to your high school flame while the rest of your dorm is exploring new adventures and making new friends," Battista says.

You bonded over fetching coffees, bitching about your boss, happy hour drinks, and make outs. But should you take Intern Boy into fall?

What You Should Do: Hang out with him more outside of the office.

When you spend a lot of time with someone in a confined community, like the office, you can eventually catch feelings. But are you really that into him...in the real world? "Test out the waters to see if you two really are compatible," Battista suggests. "Let him know that you just want to see where things go." And if you decide that you do or don't want to officially date, be clear about it because no one likes to get led on.

Everything was adventurous and exotic and sexy—should you try to keep the flame going IRL?

What You Should Do: Say adios/adieux/auf wiedersehen.

Chalk this up to a really blissful international fling. Long distance relationships are hard. International long distance relationships are even harder. According to Battista, "Unless you have a plan to share the same time zone in the near future (like say...move from Australia to Rydell High), chances are this relationship won't stand the test of time and space." Sexy memories of your boy abroad will last a lifetime, so appreciate it for what it is and go back to reality with a smile on your face.

He was your go-to summer piece—the guy you hooked up with after the beach and the bars, but should you try to make him your boyfriend now that summer's ending?

What You Should Do: Keep him...for now.

Are you ready for a long-term commitment? Does he have what it takes to become your boyfriend? Chances are you haven't wanted to define the relationship, but that time has come, kids. "You both need to make a decision together about how to take it forward or leave it. Pretending it will just resolve itself as the leaves turn is a fantasy that can lead to hurt feelings and bad blood," Battista truth-bombs. But, there's no harm in keeping him around until someone who really wants to be your BF comes along.

He's been super nice to you all summer, buying you drinks, and paying special attention to you on that group trip/in your share house. He's clearly into you, but do like him in the sexy way?

What You Should Do: Keep him.

This is your opportunity to decide if you want to take him out of the friend zone. "If the answer is yes, then begin to turn up the volume on your flirting and dial down the high fives and comments about getting in on his Fantasy Football league," says Battista. "Whether you begin to lean in to him when you talk, brush his shoulder, or just give him a quick peck on the lips vs. cheek the next time he drops you off, make sure you are overt. Men are terrified of the friend zone and need massive re-assurance to make the next move."
