But don’t fear! Everything you’re feeling and going through is totally normal…

INEXPERIENCE

You’re going to feel like you have NO freaking idea what you’re doing, and it’s a bit overwhelming at first. So take your time! Relationships take time, and you will continue to learn new things every single day when you’re with somebody. The key is patience and communication. 

KISSING

AH! This can be the scariest thing about a relationship, especially if you’ve never kissed anybody before. Knowing when and how to do it is daunting, so take a deep breath, and stop analysing everything. When it feels right, it will happen.

AWKWARD SILENCES

Sometimes silence is nice, but awkward silences can leave you feeling incredibly nervous. Stop overthinking everything you should say next, and just let the conversation flow. If you two really like each other, you will always find something new to talk about.

PARENTS!!!

It’s normal for your parents to want to know what is going on in your personal life, especially if you’re serious about the person you’re dating. It might seem annoying, but they’re always going to have your best interests at heart. The best thing for you to do is be honest and open with them about how you feel.

As for meeting your bae’s parents, it’s important to always be respectful and yourself. They will love you for you.

FIRST FIGHT

It happens to every relationship, and it’s a pretty big milestone. Disagreements are normal in any relationship, what is important is knowing how to deal with them and how to move on. Learn to talk to one another about the things that bother you. If fights ever get out of hand, and are frequent, then it is probably a clear indication that they aren’t the one for you.

FRIENDS OPINIONS

A relationship is between you and your significant other, but no matter what, your friends are going to have an opinion. Best case scenario is that they totally approve of your bae and everyone gets along swimmingly, however, some of your friends might dislike them… or your lover might not like some of your friends. When this happens, give them a chance to get to know one another and try not to get in the middle of it. Most of the time your friends will just be looking out for you, and love can be blinding.

SEX

Sex is a part of many relationships, but it doesn’t mean it has to be a part of yours. Unless you feel like you are completely ready for it, you shouldn’t ever feel pressured to have it. If you are feeling pressured, then bae needs to find the door! When you do feel ready for the big step, make sure you are completely 100% safe and wear a condom EVERY time and that there is consent from both parties.
