I am as of now enjoying my first relationship in which we both are ‘adults.’ First and foremost, don’t rush things. That fluttery, mushy feeling of infatuation is not love, even if it feels like it. So for starters, reign in the outpouring of emotion that teenagers tend to do. Know yourself, know your own heart, understand what you want, and don’t be afraid to express what you want or simply be yourself. It doesn’t do any good to put on, b/c in the end the other person will see the true you anyway. You should save both of you the time, and simply be yourself from the start, and don’t rush into anything, take it slow, and enjoy it.
