Reynel Dan L. Galicinao, BSN, RN

2. I think about him all
the time.
-Jackie

3. I can’t sleep, eat or
pay attention to what
Prof. Maniego is
talking about.
-Budoy

4. Am I in love or Am I in love or
is this is this
infatuation? infatuation?
-Jackie -Budoy

5. Crush
• The so called crush strikes teenagers all the
time
• Crush on a cute movie star, understanding
teacher, new kid on the block
• Crushes don’t usually last very long
• They are usually forgotten before they develop
into friendship or even serious relationship

6. Relationships
• The best relationships start out as friendship
I’ve met this guy. We started going
He’s smart, dishy- out, first with
looking, good other people, then
conversationalist, the 2 of us
and best of all, started dating
HE LIKES ME. exclusively.
-Rosalie -Angelito

7. • It doesn’t really matter who asked first
• What’s important is that you like each other and
you like being together.
• Traditionally, the boy makes the first move.
• But a girl shouldn’t have to sit and wait until the
boy finds the nerve to ask her out.

8. I felt relief when
she took the
initiative and
asked me out.
-Dodong
• So don’t be shy, go ahead and ask.

9. Dates
• When you go on a date, the boy doesn’t have to
pay for everything
• In these days of economic crisis, it’s all right to
go Dutch
– Each paying for his/her own share.

10. “Some relationships are best left
as friendships. This doesn’t mean
I feel any less about you. I just
don’t want to get any deeper. I
don’t want to get involved.”
-Inday

11. Good Relationship
• You’ll know when a friendship ends
• The relationship begins when you can’t seem to
spend enough time with each other
• A good relationship is when you know, respect
and trust each other
• You also grow together and as individuals
• A good relationship is anything but the above

13. SAYING

14. If you love me,
sleep with me.
-Man Y. Akis
• If you’re a smart girl, you won’t fall for that old
line.
• But some girls find it difficult to say no because:
– They don’t want to hurt the boy’s feelings
– They don’t want to be called prude
– They don’t want to be the last Filipino virgin

15. • It takes courage to say no, but do so only if you
don’t want to sleep with the boy.
• REMEMBER: the only reason to have sex is
because you want to.
• No one should force you to have sex.
• If you go on a date, you don’t necessarily have
to end up on the sack with the boy.

16. • But if you find yourselves naked in each other’s
arms, and you suddenly change your mind – you
can still say NO.
• If he forces you to have sex with him, this is
called DATE RAPE.
• If you want to go all the way, practice SAFER
SEX.

17. • If your boyfriend refuses to wear a condom, you
can refuse to have sex with him.
• Rethink your relationship.
He is acting irresponsibly.
I do love him but does he really love
me?
-Elisa
