Be yourself and be honest with him. Try not to create drama over small things, and remember not to over think every little thing he says. A lot of guys don't really think in a girl's perspective when they say things, so sometimes you have to just let what they say not get to you and forgive them, unless they say something really rude, disrespectful, and/or hurtful. That's when you need to stand your ground and tell them that you are not okay with that and how you feel. Don't put his interests down, either. Also, don't put too much pressure on making the relationship "perfect". There is no such luck, and that could cause much more stress on you than you need. Just try seeing where everything goes and enjoy your time with him as much as you can... That's all I can think of right now.

Just relax. Fortunately there's no solid rules to dating and no time lines as to what must occur. Just do what you feel like doing. Don't pressure yourself into anything and don't allow yourself to be pressured. Just take it all at your own pace, a fast moving relationship especially at your age is usually bad news. Honestly dating is basically just two people liking each other and expressing their feelings by going public and putting a label onto their relationship.

Most guys come with their own instruction manual. Simply ask him for it and he will give it to you.

If he comes with an instruction manual, its in chinese. because I don't get it.

Be yourself! If you dont feel good about the relationship, then he's probably just not your guy. But don't worry because your boyfriend is also your best friend, so if you ever need anything, he'll be there for you and the same goes for him. And lastly, don't feel bad about making mistakes, it happens! Dont be embarrassed, just, do whatever your comfortable with.
