"Will you go with me? Then sign this contract!"
Romance is not dead - it seems only better secures than before. Journalist Max Linsky recently found this note on the floor of a school that an eight-year-old had signed for her potential friend:
Found on the floor after class in a middle school: a relationship contract between 8th graders. (He signed it) pic.twitter.com/SPmDjNdjVi

- You can not talk to sluts.
- You always have to talk to me, all the time.
- You have to give me a huge hug.
- You have to buy me food.
- You must not break my heart, because if you break my heart, I will break your face.
- You can not stop me. I'm breaking up with you. If we have problems, we will clarify them.
- You can not hug these sluts
- You can beat these sluts, but that's it.
- You are not allowed to look at these sluts
- I agree with these rules and conditions
Do not take any risks!
There is no more context for this note, so many questions remain: Who are "these sluts" who just want to collect hugs and high-fives from the young man? And how much food does this presumably 14-year-old have to spend on his new girlfriend to fulfill the terms of the contract?
In any case, respect for so much healthy self-confidence! "I'll break up with you, not the other way around, and we kindly clarify problems" would actually be a reasonable standard clause in marriage contracts for adults, as well as "you have to hug me quite often".
And apparently the scam worked, because as the finder of the note on Twitter notes: "He signed it!"
