As you get older, you're going to have to establish a set of social rules for yourself. Things like what you will and won't tolerate from the general population, friends, partners, family (chosen or otherwise).
No one should tell you what YOUR rules should and shouldn't be, but learn from others, and be ready and willing to change as you see fit.
An examples of the rules is "not chasing people who don't seem interested in you". Interaction is give and take, and if you are the only one giving, then you may want to reconsider if pursuit of them is worth the time and effort. Only you, in the end, can be sure of this.
More important than setting these rules, is sticking to them. At least long enough to know that the rules you have set work for you a majority of the time.
You'll gain this vital knowledge primarily through experience. As the saying goes "if you never have tried it. how do you know you like it?"
Obviously, there are some things you should never try, like using drugs injected by needle (unless prescribed by a doctor or the like.)
Anyway, I hope you get my point.
