    A card is enough to show him/her that you've loved being together for the past seven days and that you'd like to stay together for many more. Get a card with something cute and funny. No need to get too serious since it’s only been a week!

    • Write a silly poem or song about your relationship.
    • Write cute notes to each other, and drop it off secretly at their locker or backpack.

    A lot of couples have been together for a year or even ten. Don’t talk about things that’ll dampen what you’ve got so far. Take it at a slow pace, and make sure you’re both on the same page.
    • Don’t talk about meeting his/her parents to take the relationship to the next level.
    • Don’t talk about marriage or moving in together as you can appear desperate and needy.

    Whenever the topic of your significant other comes up, make sure you keep the conversation positive and uplifting, especially if they’re around. [5]
    • People talk, and the compliments you say about your boyfriend/girlfriend will get around to them. [6]
    • Don't say negative things or gossip about your significant other. If you're having a problem, speak honestly and openly about it. Resolve the conflict by communicating.

  • Question
    What if you're only ten?
    Community Answer
    If you don't happen to have a social media account, you can still appreciate your girlfriend or boyfriend by giving them a little gift or card. You can also go on dates or picnics outside or at the mall under supervision. Always be open with them about communication, and find some accountability from an older mentor or teacher regarding what it takes to be in a healthy relationship.

  • Question
    What if my girlfriend didn't remember?
    Community Answer
    She might not have forgotten; it's possible she just doesn't think a one week anniversary is important. You could just ask her if she wants to do something fun to celebrate.
