About this ebook
What happens when you graduate high school (or college) and your friends scatter? Do you lose touch or keep in contact? Do you make new friends or hide out in your dorm/apartment until you run out of shows in your Netflix queue? Is it possible to keep friendships after college?
To quote one of the secrets: Making and keeping friendships after college is harder than G.I. Joe’s abs.
What about romance? Should you go on a date with that person? Do you need to break up? What constitutes a date anyway?
To quote another of the secrets: A date is a date is a date is a…date. It’s not a marriage proposal. It’s not a death sentence.
These twenty secrets, pulled from Paul Angone’s book: 101 Secrets for Your Twenties, will give you insights into the relationships in your twentysomething life. The secrets cover everything from friendship dynamics to romantic interests, from being friendless in a new city to being uncertain who/what/when/where/why you will marry.

20 Relationship Secrets for Your Twenties
Making friends was so easy when we were kids. Or at least that’s how my nostalgia remembers it.
You tackled a kid at recess. Partnered with someone for Bio Lab. Played a basketball game at the park. Got cast in a play. Moved into a dorm.
Then bam, you had a friend.
Lots of them.
Like the kid whose dad worked for Nintendo—friends just waiting at your doorstep.
And then college happened—the height of Friend Mania.
And then college ended and with it, so did many of your friendships.
WHERE DID ALL THE FRIENDSHIPS GO????
Then you entered the abyss—the Friend Abyss.
Your 20s and 30s are deep, uncharted waters where friends are dumped in black bags never to be seen again.
All those friends-are-friends-forever friends, gone—the apparent expiration date on forever
lasting about two and a half years.
Because you move. Get married. Have kids. Or work a 60-hour a week job. Keeping friendships in your 20s becomes harder than G.I. Joe’s abs (that’s prison-walls-hard, people) because you don’t have the same shared experiences anymore. You’re not going to class, then eating lunch, going to practice, eating dinner, hanging out until 2
