My advice to you
- My advice is to stay abstinent so that you won't face the consequences of an unhealthy behavior
- Don't do things with your partner that you wouldn't do with your friend
- If your parents wouldn't approve, don't do it at all

is my relationship healthy?
- Good Communication is key to a healthy relationship although, it can also lead to a unhealthy relationship.
- Going at a steady pace and not rushing will help you stay together although, if you do rush it may cause you to break up.
- You can set aside time to see each other but, if you don't see each other it may not work resulting in a break up.
