* Emotions; facts and libido. Each has there place. DO NOT confuse them for each other !

* Respect your lady friend as you would want her to respect you.

* Discuss EVERYTHING ! I'm serious ! Family/friends/work/college/school/worries/likes/dislikes/plans/hopes/dreams/money/food/alcohol/sex/drugs/rock n roll. EVERYTHING ! Never again in your life will you meet a woman who is exactly at the same stage of discovering the world as you are, right now !

*Most relationships fail because each stops listening/talking to the other. DON'T be THAT guy !

*When it comes to sex. Consent is everything. Both for her AND you !

*There are several different methods of Contraception, so the 'I don't like using it' argument doesn't wash !

*Talk to your mum. REGULARLY ! She's seen you naked and wiped your @$$ ! So it's unlikely you'll ever shock her ! You have NO excuses for not letting her know the truth about what's going on in your life !
Parents know that even if they can't help in any situation you find yourself in, a problem shared between those who love you spreads the weight ! Remember that !

stuff like that.

@Picklebobble2 talk to her about what? Sex? Why?

@Chickie Because if this is his first relationship he needs a good idea of what consent is and more importantly what it ISN'T !
