1. Watch out for his little sister; she’s powerful enough to do stuff, but young enough to still want to do naughty things. Unless you like spending time as a frog, I wouldn’t ping her off.

2. When meeting his parents there’s a chance they don’t want to let you in on the family secret. So even though you know, don’t let on.

3. Ask for a list of special dates for him and his family; if you’ve gone well with the meeting of the family, then perhaps they won’t mind allowing you to attend some of the more celebratory evens on the calendar. Additionally, knowing these special dates will allow you to know when he’ll need to not be called or asked out on a date.

4. Probably best not to go buying your guy a merlin costume for those Halloween parties. Pointy hats do actually hold some symbolism, so even if your heart is in the right spot, be aware and be warned.

5. Wizards usually have an animal familiar. So you might want to find out what his is before you start getting too serious. It would suck to be allergic to his cat, rat, owl, or crow. Even worse would be for your pet to hate or eat his on a visit.

6. He may be a bit of a messy wizard, so be sure to look where you’re about to sit. You wouldn’t want to break his wand.

7. Find out his favourite TV shows and movies. He’s probably got a good sense of humor about the way Hollywood portrays his fellow magic wielders. Try box sets of Sabrina the Teenage witch for those dates when you’re both baby-sitting his little sister. It may also teach her why it isn’t a good idea to turn you into a frog.

8. If you ever see a random and old-looking hard cover book lying around, perhaps open, keep your nose out of it. It could be his book of shadows, which is like a diary, but with slightly more sensitive content.

9. No matter how tempting it may be, never ask him to work any magic that may be classed as being for personal gain. Getting your math teacher sick on the day of a big exam, or fudging results will only end up in tears one way or another.  Better to not tempt fate.

10. His fellow coven members are likely to be a tad on the geeky side. They will most likely have hearts of gold and find it hard to get the girl. So be kind and introduce your friends to them. It’s always better at gatherings between friends if you actually know some of the people who’ll be there.  Happiness is best when it’s shared.

Blessed be!
