Teen Tips For Relationships & Dating

Teenager years are some of the best we get. We have so many things to discover during that precious short time. We learn who we are and start to uncover the things we didn't get before.

 

But what is more fun about being a teenager is the intense love we often feel. We feel invincible and we actually can't see past that.

 

However, it is important to know how to keep your balance when you fall in love or have a crush on someone, because we tend to forget about everything else and nothing is logical anymore.

Therefore, here are some tips that will help you do that and will also remind you how sometimes you need to take care of yourself first.

Take your time while getting to know each other
Many of us, once we like someone really intense we tend to date at a really fast pace, only to realise that you have invested your time and efforts into someone that wants nothing of that.

There’s not enough to have feelings for each other but also to be compatible and enjoy your time together. Do the things you love and see if you can make your relationship or the start of it, work.

Put yourself first
But don't deny the other’s feelings and needs. Don’t get lost in the whirlwind of your feelings. Stick up to yourself when it is needed and don’t try to make something bad pass by, because it won’t and you will feel the consequences later.

If the other is not treating you right then you should at least know that you have got your own back.

Set a precedent for your next relationships and you will see that the other will have more respect for you.

Do listen to your friends
But don't be influenced to do something that is not right for you, like dating someone who is just not right for you only because it is cool for your peers.

Filter the pieces of advice that you get and understand what is good and what is bad for you.

Don’t date people who are already in a relationship
There are some cases in which the person who is already involved with someone else falls for you and forgets about the other person. But there are also cases in which that person does not have the right reasons for falling for you.

Try to understand the reasons behind all of this only to not get yourself hurt.

Don't date someone who is overly attached
If your partner gives away signs of jealousy, of being overly protective and of other such signs, it means he will not be able to let you have your own things as well.

It wouldn't be great to spend your time together fighting all the time and arguing on some absurd accusations and jealousy.

Don’t spend your whole day with your relationship
You may want to spend the whole day with your lover but you should know how to balance between school and your relationship and friends as well. Don't get too absorbed into your relationship.

You are on the journey of creating yourself, and by dedicating your time to one person only, you will lose yourself along the way.

Limit the texting and skyping and going out down to a minimum, because your lover is not the only person that needs your attention.

Don't rush into intimacy and respect the other’s decisions on waiting
Enjoy the innocence of your love and the fire that comes with it. Nobody is rushing you into doing nothing that you don't want to. Consider all the effects on yourself and on your relationship.

Many years to come you will have time to do everything you want and need, but during these teenage years you should learn what you can about life and take in the lessons you have learned.

You may think you know everything but life is long and you cannot possibly know what it means yet.

Don’t stick up thinking you will not get another chance
Love is versatile and you will find it many times during your lifetime so don't exasperate over that one crush or one date. People come and go and love will find its way back.

If something is not right from the beginning and you keep on wondering if you should continue or not, then you should get out of your relationship before it is too late.
