Candy; so simple, yet so complicated, much like any relationship. Hard on on the outside, soft on the inside

You aren’t looking for anything in too serious. You’re willing to dabble with different flavors that might not go well together and you’re always open for something new.

It’s a sticky situation, similar to the caramel in a Milky Way. You love how they make you feel but there’s always something missing. Something that you wish you could have more of.

Plain and simple: Sour, sweet, gone.
Candy Corn – Rebound-Stage

A staple Halloween candy is just like a staple rebound. You can easily fall back on them to add some sweetness in your life, but are they your first choice? Not usually.
Lollipops – Getting Over Someone

You usually save these for after Halloween is over. They last a really long time, but you find yourself in stages where you want them or you want nothing to do with them.

We always aspire to be the Almond Joy, don’t deny it. It’s super sweet and has a lot of different layers that are hard to understand if you haven’t had one before. People wonder why you’re still together. Fact: It’s because you offer each other a lot and there’s always something new to discover!

The sweetest and most adored candy of all. Everyone is excited when they see them overflowing the basket with their bright, shiny, new bling. Everyone wants to be around you and your sweetie.
Smarties – Long-Distance

Even though there are different flavors, they all have one thing in common: little to no sweetness. Yeah, maybe they’re sweet in the beginning, and you’re hopeful that they’ll get better…but then you remember, you were disappointed when you got this candy last year too.
Starburst – Guilty Pleasure Crush

You’re in a deep rut. You’re really into someone and you’re friends are judging you for it. You don’t even know why you like him or her. It’s truly an unexplainably juicy crush!!
