Setting standards to follow for your dates is very important. Here are a few good ones:
- Set boundaries for your physical relationship before you go on the date.
- Boys and girls are jointly responsible for setting and maintaining limits.
- Verbally communicate your boundary to your partner.
- You can stop at any step of intimacy—physical intimacy does not have to progress.
- Have self-control.
- Consider your manner of dress and stay sober.
- Use non-verbal and verbal refusal skills if needed.
- Avoid dangerous or tempting situations like being alone in an empty house.
