Going steady also means the beginning of disagreements and like any natural relationship, you will fight. The first fight means that you care enough to argue and disagree but you love each other enough to agree to disagree. And it’s comforting to know there’s someone like that to hold you!
9. First cry
A fight usually involves a crying session somewhere in the middle or it could just be brought on by something else, but the first bout of tears determines how the other person reacted and pacified the crier. And it’s a sweet memory to look back on.
10. First pang of jealousy
