So, you have found a boyfriend. Now you might be wondering, How should I act? Don’t worry, it is not rocket science, although it may feel that way sometimes. Focus on having fun and being yourself. Show you care by taking an interest in his passions and doing kind things for him without being asked. Make sure you communicate openly and honestly, even when being honest feels a little scary.
Flirt with playful teasing. Just because you’re in a relationship doesn’t mean you should stop flirting! Tease him about his quirky habits or make up a goofy nickname or two. Just make sure the teasing is fun and lighthearted for both of you. If he gets upset or asks you to stop, it means you’re taking it too far. You could say, "Hey, you’re a pretty good cook. almost as good as my six year old sister! "Tease him about his Stars Wars obsession or his inexplicable love for weird foods. Look for other ways to find humor in everyday situations as well. Doing this will help to reduce any feelings of awkwardness and help your boyfriend associate being around you with having fun.
Don’t be afraid to be silly. Make funny faces together. Watch comedies and laugh your heads off. Tickle him and joke around. Remember, relationships are supposed to be fun! Start a food fight or have a wrestling match. Have a dance party and take tons of goofy selfies.
Spend quality time with your boyfriend. During quality time, you should be able to talk and connect. That doesn’t mean sitting side-by-side scrolling through your phones. Quality time could be as simple as hanging out after school or eating a meal together.
Be yourself. Don’t try to change who you are for your boyfriend. Stop worrying about what he thinks and be your genuine self. You’ll both have more fun if you can let loose around him. Think about the activities you enjoy and the people you love. If you’re changing any of those for your boyfriend, stop. Make a list of your strengths and good qualities. Maybe you’re a hilarious friend or a super talented artist. Embrace and celebrate your positive qualities! Your boyfriend should, too. If he doesn’t accept you for who you are, he’s not worth your time.
Make sure you give him space. You shouldn’t spend every waking moment together. For every hour you spend with your boyfriend, you should spend an hour doing your own thing. Go have fun with your friends and family. Make sure you stay involved in all your clubs, activities, and hobbies. Your boyfriend shouldn’t be your whole world. It’s important to spend time with the other awesome people in your life and take time for yourself.
Be affectionate with touch in a way that feels comfortable to you. Different people show affection in different ways. You might show your affection by holding hands, hugging, caressing, cuddling, kissing, or having sex. Do what feels natural and comfortable to you. Talk to your boyfriend about boundaries.
Take an interest in his interests. You may not be the biggest fan of skateboarding, but if it’s important to your boyfriend, you should at least learn about it. Watch him perform at the skate rink, and listen when he talks about his newest skate trick. Ask him questions about the things he loves to do. If he loves playing the piano, you could ask, "What’s your favorite song to play?" Your boyfriend should also make an effort to understand your interests. Share with your boyfriend what interests you as well to ensure that you are both learning about each other’s interests.
