Dating is a complicated process, especially for teens.
Consequently, even with the best laid plans, challenges and problems can crop up. For this reason, you and your teen need to know how navigate each of these potentially complicated and sometimes dangerous situations. Here's an overview of some of the dating challenges your teen may face.
You get to have romance and touch in your life without the commitments of a serious or long-term relationship. You have someone to hang out with in your downtime. You have someone to do "couple" and "relationship" things with, without the commitment. You can get to know someone in a laid-back, pressure-free way. You can potentially date multiple people at the same time. You can have sex with a regular partner. You get to spend time with someone you like who likes you back. You can get to know someone in a casual way while deciding whether you want to pursue a serious relationship with them.

putting aside the patriarchy, gender equality, who earns the most and the fact you may be tighter than a crab's arse, there is a very simple "rule" for who foots the bill for a date – if you asked them out, you offer to pay. If they insist on splitting it, refuse once and once only. If they insist on splitting it again, just accept and split it.
1. Focus on the present, not the past
The dating game can be nerve wracking. It's only natural to worry about how you'll come across and whether or not your date will like you. But no matter how shy or socially awkward you feel, you can overcome your nerves and self-consciousness and forge a great connection. Focus outward, not inward. To combat first-date nerves, focus your attention on what your date is saying and doing and what's going on around you, rather than on your internal thoughts. Staying fully present in the moment will help take your mind off worries and insecurities. Be curious. When you're truly curious about someone else's thoughts, feelings, experiences, stories, and opinions, it shows—and they'll like you for it.
Again, i know the cool metal screen basically burns a hole in your pocket when you’re on a first date. The comforting feel of scrolling through twitter or opening snapchat just to take a glance at yourself will probably persist throughout the date but stay strong. Keeping yourself focused on the person in front of you could determine the outcome of the entire outing. I suggest putting your phone away entirely or having it on do not disturb for the length of your date. Minimizing any distractions will help you stay present and even calm your nerves.
The start of a relationship can lay the foundation for the future, so pay particular attention to how you talk to each other and work through problems. If you’re unsure of the right communication tools to use in your disagreements with your partner, consider consulting a relationship therapist (no such thing as too early!). Besides the major designer closet on a writer’s salary, sex and the city got one more thing wrong: your friends should not always be your relationship sounding board. Of course, you should have a strong support system, but when you get in a disagreement with your partner, think of turning inward instead of outward to fix it.
