1. Be nice.
2. Be honest
3. Be loving (what I mean by this is give him lots of hugs, kisses, kind words when he has earned them and hold his hand a lot; at your age, sex is definitely OUT, though)
4. Take good care of yourself (be clean, dress neatly, keep your hair long)
5. Don't overthink things (guys are really simple in their thinking, so don't look for more in what they say than is actually there)
6. Remember that the most precious gift is him in your life and not any presents he might give you.
7. Love yourself enough to not tolerate anything immoral, illegal, hurtful or counterproductive.
8. Don't ever complain about him in public.
9. Guys can't read minds. So if you want something from him tell him!
10. Trust him! He night look at other girls, but as long as he doesn't touch them you're good.
11. Like pro sports, even if it is just one sport (the best ones to pick from are the three big ones, baseball, football basketball). Extra points if he likes college football and/or basketball and you do, too.
12. Help him with his homework, if necessary, but don't do it for him.
13. Remember, he is your PARTNER
14. Expect him to be faithful, truthful, honest, attentive to you without having to treat you like you're some kind of royalty or something and don't accept anything less than that.
15. Be the best you can in the classroom because two heads are better than one in life.
16. Have a sense of humor. So many women don't and see cute little jokes as personal attacks.
17. Don't personalize everything.
18. Be assertive, but don't be loud.
19. Guys feel a need to be in control of every situation. Make him feel like he's in control even though you actually are.
20. Live in the moment and be happy for the simple things in life.
21. Remember that he was raised as a boy and so doesn't think like a girl. Also, boy culture is different from girl culture. Girls bond through self disclosure, boys bond through doing stuff.
22. Boys aren't as verbal as girls (in fact, girls have, according to a recent study, much bigger vocabularies, on average, than boys). So focus more on what he does and not on what he says (unless he is being a complete douchebag or something).
23. Yes, his primary attraction to you is sexual just as you see him as a security object. Accept it.
24. Remember that your body is yours and not his. Set definite boundaries and don't retreat from them. He'll take you a lot more seriously if you have your stuff together.
25. The boy you're with now is very unlikely to be the one you will end up marrying. So always take the long view and don't get so caught up in minor teenage drama because it will mean nothing in the grand scheme of things.
