hang in there. everything will get better.

 Don't have sex. One day you'll meet an amazing guy that wants to remain a virgin until he is married...to you. And you'll wish that you were one as well.

 Don't listen to what others say, you do what you want to do no matter what people do to bring you down. It's all worth it I promise.

 Just because he was your first love, doesn't mean you can never love again.

 Spend more time with mom.

 Remember that it's good to be trusting, but don't completely trust those whose true hearts yet to be revealed.

 Don't try so hard all the time. You're doing a lot of the right things, let the success come to you. Don't try to force it.

 Give him time. He does love you, but you have to let him learn that for himself. Pushing him to jump in this isn't worth losing your bestfriend. Let him think it out and jump into love together. Don't let the ship sail without the most important passenger.
