We all have icks. The things that turn us away from someone almost instantly. They can feel like the most random things, and if they really do end an entire relationship, it usually means there were more actual underlying issues. Still, it is funny to think someone completely blew their shot once they held their knife like a pencil. It's so specific and ridiculous, yet relatable. Once you get the ick and the butterflies have fully vanished, there's no going back — it's time to move on.

    Listen, communication is key. But nobody wants someone who's clingy. Plus Eighth Grade is a super stressful year! We need our space so we can do things like memorizing all of the state capitals and go through puberty.
