DEAR ABBY: I am 15 and have my first "serious" boyfriend. I have been dating him for five months. I really love his family, but sometimes I get little hints that make me feel I am a bother to his parents.
I don't want them to get tired of me, because I really like them, and I don't want anything to affect our relationship.
Should I not call or visit as much, or just wait and see what happens? Thanks a million. -- CATHY IN CORAL GABLES, FLA.
DEAR CATHY: Since you suspect that you're calling and visiting too frequently, by all means you should cut back. It will give you an opportunity to participate in some interesting new solo activities you can share -- and it will give your boyfriend the opportunity to pursue you.
