Starting a Romantic Relationship

We wanted to pass along a few tips for making sure that when you start a romantic relationship, it is a GOOD one!

  1. Make sure the person is OK to date.  That means NO staff, NO ONE under the age of 18 (even if they say yes, it is still illegal), and NO ONE who already has a partner.
  2. Stick to your dating boundaries!
  3. Take your time.  There is NO rush to make someone your boyfriend or girlfriend!  Slow down and make sure

    they are the right person!

  4. Find fun things that you both enjoy to do together.
  5. But don’t forget to still spend time with you friends!  It’s good to do things apart from your sweetheart sometimes.
  6. Always be open and honest about your feelings.  This builds trust between you and helps deepen your relationship.
  7. Know what a BAD relationship looks like, so that you can be sure you have a good one!
