About This Quiz

Although lots of us look back on our high school relationships (as well as our fashion choices at the time) and cringe, this isn't the case for everyone. Some of us spend our whole lives looking for "the one," while some of us look up in the middle of freshman bio and find ourselves staring at the back of our soul mate's head.

We can't control the time or place we meet the person we wind up spending the rest of our lives with. In some cases, we find this person early on! But in the grand scheme of things, when and where we meet our "person" has nothing to do with how strong or right the relationship itself is.

Some look down on young relationships, choosing to chalk them up to "puppy love" or infatuation. But what about you? You've been with your high school sweetheart for a while now; maybe even for years already! Are you confident that your high school sweetheart will be your one true love, always and forever? You might be right! You also might be completely and totally wrong. If you're itching to know whether or not your high school romance will end in marriage, hop into this quiz and test the waters!
