Cupid's Pulse Article: Shia LaBeouf Speaks Out About New Girlfriend Karolyn PhoCupid's Pulse Article: Shia LaBeouf Speaks Out About New Girlfriend Karolyn Pho

Shia LaBeouf’s young relationship is already starting to blossom. UsMagazine.com reports that the Transformers star is beginning to expand his horizons thanks to his five-month relationship with girlfriend Karolyn Pho.  “A cheese plate?  That’s a very 25-year-old deal,” LaBeouf said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. “I can get down with some fig jelly and some cheese on a cracker…  [Karolyn’s] having me try different things. I was scared of fish, ’cause of my upbringing, being Jewish. Gefilte can ruin your entire seafood life.” Aside from broadening his eating horizons, the actor now admits his sprawl in February wasn’t the most mature move. “I have no excuses. I’m not happy with it, but I don’t think it’s a calamity,” he said.

What are some signs that your partner is beginning to mature?

Cupid’s Advice:

A maturing partner is a good sign that your serious relationship is heading down the right path. Here are some telling signs that your partner is maturing:

1. Pleading guilty: It takes a bigger person to admit that he or she has made a mistake without trying to cover it up. If your partner does this, then that’s a good sign.

2. Open communication: A good sign of a healthy partnership is how well you two can talk – whether it’s about the weather, what you ate for lunch or personal issues. If it seems that no topic is off-limits, your partner is certainly maturing.

3. Family reunions: If your lover wants to show you off in front of his or her family, then there’s a good possibility he or she is serious about you and the relationship, or at the minimum, they see a future.
