I'm a freshman in highschool and this year i've had a lot of "things" with people where it hasnt gotten farther then a hookup and just "i like you"& "i like you too". I really want a serious relationship but im on the verge of giving up because everytime I try and make a relationship work with someone it never does. Any advice?

you have to take relationships slow if you want them to last. its good if you develope a good friendship with the person you're interested in first before moving onto the next stage. a good friendship at the start is good because you get to know the person better. you can find out what they're looking for in a person. rushing into a relationship is bad because you end up with a person you hardly know, the fun of a friendship is finding out about them.
first few weeks-
the first few weeks are usually the best part. you can ask more swerious questions about them and you can have loads of fun with them. dont be bossy. dont always talk about yourself. dont be annoying etc.
after the first few weeks-
it gets a little more serious here, you may have a few hiccups in the relationship but if you love them you'll try to fix it. and if you know them well enough you shouldnt have too many problems.
other-
dont rush into the sex part. there is no need to start it early.
make sure you dont have to pretend and act fake with them.
NO LIES!
if they talk about this you dont understand just go with the flow. dont act like you know what they're on about but listen to them. listening is very important.
dont ignore their needs lol
just have fun the whole time. dont take it too serious until your further into the relationship, but dont act like the whole this is a joke.
NO CHEATING haha
how this helps a little XD [ millymoo's advice column | Ask millymoo A Question ]

Don't rush, like in a day ya'll are together, but the next day, you break up because you're trying too hard to look for something serious within him. It takes time, so don't rush. Get to know them a bit before everything falls apart. [ Athena's advice column | Ask Athena A Question ]
