Or to be safer, go with a group of friends. Second, do not go on an isolated place. It is important to stay in a place where there are people who can hear you when you call out for help. The person you are dating may be a friend or someone you met in school but do not take chances.

Being a teen, you are still young and new to the dating world so you must be very careful. Third, set and live by the limits. These limits can be on the physical contact and emotional attachment. Fourth, be clear when it comes to saying your wishes as well the guidelines both of you have to follow.

It is significant to learn how to day "No" to requests you think are not appropriate and not legal. Fifth, learn to decipher the warnings and the actions that gives the message that your date isn't worth the time and effort. Do not be a victim of unwanted manipulation as well as blackmail.

This is more especially needed for girls that have to say NO to sexual requests of their dates. Tell your teen what is right and what is not good for him or her. Of course, this must be on a very friendly manner to be able not to scare him or her. Moreover, remind him or her that you are there to support them well. Your teen must feel that you are not a hindrance but a mere friend ready to help in times when you are needed.
