Don't be desperate for his attention.
Don't be too affectionate around him.
Don't show him your vulnerable side.
Don't be jealous of his achievements.
Don't keep letting him emotionally manipulate you.
Don't be too dependent on him, as in, you need to see him in math class or it doesn't feel right, or whatever crap.
Don't feel the need to act silly and girly around him, be yourself.
Don't let him mesmerize you with his physical attributes.
Don't pretend to get interested in what he likes just because you want him to like you.
Don't allow him the power to control you.
