So, your friend just got into a new relationship.

We’ve all been here before.

We know how exciting it can be to feel the butterflies of getting to know someone new.

We also know that sometimes our friends just can’t stop talking about their new flame.

Knowing the right thing to say to your friend isn’t just about asking the right questions.

Keep this in mind when making any statements about your friend’s new partner.

Any comparisons to your friend’s ex are no-go’s (viaCosmopolitan).

Leave your partner’s ex out of it, and stay positive when talking about their new partner.

It’s not uncommon to have this worry but keep the focus on them right now (viaGlamour).

Some romantic relationships end up being more important than others.

When they know more, they’ll tell you.

One of the best parts of a new relationship is how it makes you feel.
