Find someone who likes you. Do they like you for you and make sure you like them the way they are. Find common interests. Maybe you two love to play soccer. Or maybe you two are both choir nerds. You don’t have to be a cheerleader-quarterback couple. Find something that you both can share an interest in!
Get to know their family. This will let them know you, and chances are they’ll like you, especially if you are friendly and show good manners to them.
Make sure you take care of yourself and stay healthy and hygienic. Brush and floss your teeth and use mouthwash for fresher breath. Take showers daily and wash your face every day with a cleanser and moisturize. Brush your hair.
You are not an adult just yet. This is a safe low-pressure environment to explore what you like and don’t like in a person! It’s okay to experiment; just be sensitive of their feelings. Take everything with a fat grain of salt. Don’t listen to haters, rumor spreaders, and those immature preps asking “Hey! Did you guys make out yet?” But be wary about your partner’s past, and signs your friends are seeing.
