  • Just be patient he will grow out of it soon enough. Bear with it and don't take it personal.
  • Realize that its a phase and just dont take it personal as WHATEVER said. You yourself called it going to puberty- the phase will end. If you really want to stay in this with him, just calmly tell him you have to get home now, and leave him be. Discuss this behavior with him though, when he is in a good mood - perhaps he doesnt even know he is doing it!
  • Unless your a cradle robber or he's a middle-aged late bloomer try not to get too tied down now. I understand your feelings but you must be very young and need to learn a lot more about life before you get too bogged down in commitment. Give him as much space as you can stand and if he truly cares about you he'll either come around, regret it, or show you that you need to move on.
  • Be there for him. And let him know you're there for him. That's the best anyone can do for someone going through a rough patch, be it puberty, quarter- or mid-life crisis, or whatever.
  • Tell him that you feel put off by the behavior, and while you realize he is going through rough physical changes, you really want him to be more attuned to the way he is treating you in the process. Speak your truth always while being compassionate at the same time.
