| 1. |
Dress appropriately.
The way you dress sends messages to others even when you don't
intend to. Guys are especially affected because they are designed
to be sexually stimulated by what they see. |
| 2. |
Don't do
drugs or alcohol. Drugs and alcohol cloud you decision-making
ability and lower your resistance to say no. |
| 3. |
Don't spend
long periods of time alone together. Date wisely... that is;
avoid long periods of time alone together because it can lead
to too much physical contact too soon. |
| 4. |
Go out
with people with similar goals. Be friendly with everyone, but
having close relationships with people who have similar values
and goals makes it easier to keep your value system. |
| 5. |
Recognize
your love need and what it means. Knowing and understanding
your vulnerable areas will protect you from making some serious
mistakes. |
| 6. |
Set your
standard high and set it before the heat is on. Decide now why
you want to be a virgin and stick to it. |
