Got a great new
BF? Congrats! You've gotten over the first big hurdle of teen dating: finding a
cool guy who's way worthy of you. But here comes that second hurdle: knowing
the secrets of being the GF he can't wait to hang out with.
Silence is
golden One of the biggest mistakes a new GF can make? Blabbing to the gang
about the mushy text messages he sends you, how he goes out of his way to walk
you to soccer practice and the funny little IM exchange
you two had last night. Of course, it's all wonderful and adorable, but ...
The truth is,
most guys don't like their love lives becoming fodder for gossip sessions. Once
he catches wind of your loose-lip fests, he'll likely be less than happy about
it. So keep those details on the DL.
Let freedom
ring As much as you like being alone with your guy, you two will be spending
hang time with his crew, too. Nobody says you have to like them all, but
they're his buddies so be pleasant, at the very least.
That said, you
don't want to be the constant tag-along gal. Just like you and your friends
enjoy a girls' night out, your boyfriend deserves to have guy-bonding time.
Don't take his wanting to hang with the guys as a rejection of you or your new
relationship. It's actually healthy for couples to do things apart from each
other. Besides, if you spend every waking moment with your boy, you two are
bound to get bored.
Stay true to
you Changing for a BF is bad, bad, bad. If he' really a good guy, he should
like you for who you are. A guy who pressures you to lose weight or put on more
makeup or wear different clothes, isn't worth a minute of your time. This is
not to say he can't make suggestions ("You're really cute in that red
halter"), but your personal style is ultimately up to you.
Also, don't
pretend to be someone you're not. Don't tell him you love Slipknot when you're into
Jessica Simpson or that you're an avid water-skier if you can barely tread
water. You'll wind up miserable at a metal concert or drowning in the deceit
when he's eventually on to you. If he turns you on to something that genuinely
interests you, great. You never knew baseball was such a blast? You two can
munch nachos together while watching the World Series.
No need to be
needy Yes, you adore him. But your new guy doesn't define who you are, and you
definitely don't need him. A guy can tire very quickly of a girl who follows
him around like a puppy and hangs on his every move. He'll have loads more
respect and find you much more attractive if you show him that you have your
own goals and passions in life.
Guys like girls
who are confident with themselves and can blaze their own trails. Don't leave
him 10 messages in one day and expect him to be thrilled about it. In fact,
that can be just plain scary. If he's unavailable for the moment, leave it at
that and find something else to do (besides sitting by the phone waiting for a
return call, please).
Think line a
guy As in, live for the moment. Girls tend to fantasize about the future while
guys ... don't. Telling him how much you're looking forward to the months-away Christmas dance, while he's looking forward to a
cheese-steak for lunch, is a recipe for disaster.
The trick is
not to obsess or set yourself up for disappointment. Enjoy your time with him,
and take things lightly. Instead of talking about twirling under the mistletoe,
do the guy thing and chat about what vid to rent tonight. Keep the drama on
your TV, or you might hear these two words: The End.
