"Falling in love is so confusing for a teenage lad. You think it’s happening to you but you never really know because you’ve got nothing to compare it to. I thought I’d fallen for an ex because we were so close. But afterwards I questioned whether it was the case, or whether we just fancied each other, I was like ‘Oh what the hell was that!’. Most boys aren’t ready to fall in love at my age. I’m awful at making enough time for girls - I’m having a ball working and going clubbing. Seeing Max with his fiance Michelle opened my eyes to how great falling in love can be though. They were together seven months or so when they got engaged - it just shows how quickly it can happen. We were at his Dad’s house for a party and he said to me ‘Listen lad, it only takes a second to know!’. And then of course I told him he was a soppy git and threw a beer at him. That’s the thing about love when you’re my age - it isn’t cool. When the lads in the band say ‘I love you’ to their girls on the phone, we take the mick. That’s what boys do. As a teen there are things that still scare me about falling in love. Like what happens if you fall for someone and they don’t love you back? That must be the worst feeling ever. But I’d love nothing more than to find a girl to spend the rest of my life with one day. And when I do I reckon I’ll be a proper geek about it."
