Ah, too bad. I had a long-ish post I had written for you, but sheepishly deleted it when I realized how old your OP is.
What I was going to say is just lane creep movements: Deny. If you have a support and they aren't harassing, ask them to help with deny while you focus on LH. In a normal game, when the creeps are pushed to the tower, the support would stack a camp for you. But at 1.5K MMR (been there) nobody stacks, so you should go to the jungle. The red team's offlaner is getting free CS, and as safelane having more farm than that guy is your job, so if the lane is pushed in go jungle. That guy getting free CS at his tower isn't likely to leave and come bother you. Just make sure you have vision of the entrances in case mid comes in to gank you. That means wards.
The last thing I'm going to say about 1.5K tier is don't be afraid to buy some wards even if you have to because you have some support that is being obstinate and wants to buy their own items or something. Stumbling around in the dark is the easiest way to lose games. Even in games with hard-headed people who are difficult to deal with, wards can change the game because if those people can see the enemy movements themselves they'll react by themselves.

Sorry XD. Maybe i should've made a new thread instead?
My laning is pretty bad if i say so myself... I'm still getting used to creep aggroing. I sometimes would get a lot of denies when playing mid but in a 2 v 2 safelane with people competing for last hits, it's already hard for me to try and get 50/10min let alone try to deny my creeps, especially when playing against double harass heroes.
And i'm still not quite sure about when i can safely jungle. For example, i can jungle with am after power threads + ring of health if i'm getting pressured early. Although i'm not sure if losing half hp after 3-4 camps is worth it (probably is). While with luna, i think i need more items than pt + dragon lance since i lost half hp just after 2 camps.
I've been trying to get used to getting my own wards and it's been working out pretty well.
