Respect Yourself

What is a boyfriend or girlfriend?

Boyfriends and girlfriends have ROMANTIC feelings for each other.   Remember, ROMANTIC feelings are different than friendly feelings.

Boyfriends and girlfriends have known each other for a while, before making a commitment.   It may take weeks or even MONTHS of dating to decide if they are the right person to be calling your boyfriend or girlfriend.

Boyfriends and girlfriends BOTH like getting to know more about each other by sharing thei

r personal feelings and experiences.

Boyfriends and girlfriends are committed to each other and have decided if they are dating other people or not.

Boyfriends and girlfriends MAY do things like snuggle, hold hands, kiss, or have sex. But not always, it depends on the couple.

Many couples CONTINUE to go out on dates even AFTER they are committed to each other.   This is a great way to keep the spark or excitement going in a relationship!
