If I were personally in a situation like that I'd probably tell my parents but lie about his age. When you were younger that is a HUGE age gap but 1) you seem to be a rarity of lasting that long with the gap and 2)it won't make as huge a difference now. My husband is 5 years and some months older than me though I did meet him when I was 21. (We've been together since then, I'm now 29) I think my dad was more concerned about the fact that I met him on the Internet rather than his age. LOL

I think you should consider if the man will live long enough to finish raising your children and be there for you in your later years.  I was told by my parents to find someone within three year of my age and that did not work.

When your a teenager you'll definitely do this. I know I did when I was a teenager. I only had one boyfriend my parents really didn't like, and I wish I would have listened to them when they were trying to warn me about him. He turned out to be a very abusive guy. Sometimes parents see what we don't see and are just looking out for you. At other times they just simply might not like the guy and he could really be a cool guy. Just make sure this guy is respecting you above anything else.

how old is he?..if he's not old enough perhaps should delay the dating...if he is old enough still require parents approval of his choice of girl drop him!!

I have similer problems. Me and my girflriend love eachother but her mom doesnt want us to go out. Right now her mom doesnt even know that we are boyfriend and girlfriend. I can only call her about once every week. What we decided to do was be boyfriend and girlfriend but start going on actual dates when we are 16 so that we can drive ourselves. Just ask your dad if he can come over or soemthing and see if that works

Six months is definetly too soon. If he really cares about you then all you need to do is tell him that you aren't ready for this because you think it's just to early in the relationship. Tell him that maybe after you've been together like a year and a half, you might move in with him. Don't be afraid to tell him the truth. If he's got a problem with it then he's not worth it. \nJust remember that you are still young and a committment like this is too much. Work on the relationship before taking it to the next level.

I feel the best way to tell your parents is to just sit them down and tell them exactly how you feel about your boyfriend and since they're your parents I'm sure that they want you to be happy so be detail about how you feel and how content you are with your boyfriend, let them know toward the end of your conversation that he is black and let them know that you understand how they feel about you dating a black guy but you definitely think you can make your own decisions in choosing who you go out with. Basically, express yourself and your feelings but be very understanding and respectful at the same time.

Why is this something that you are even concerned about?  "Farthest I should go?!?!?!"  I agree with the other posters.  Sitting beside one another in class or at lunch!!!  I can't believe your parents allow you to have a boyfriend at the age of 12.

first of all how old are you? and how old is your boyfriend if he is 18 or over and you are like 14 15 ya i can see why he is to old but on the other hand if you are like 16 17 that is ok its not to old. but if you are still living in your dads house you need to do what he wants untill you are old enough to move out on your own and believe me the way this world is now you dont want to do that any time soon.

There's nothing wrong with it, especially if your feelings are genuine, but keep in mind that you could get hurt pretty bad given you start up a relationship. He could use you, or date you for a while but then flat out tell you that he's uncomfortable. Six years is not that big of a difference, but even age differences like that could result in some professional frowning-down on his part (like if he has a big corporate job and they find out he's seeing someone younger). But like I said, six years isn't that MUCh of a difference to be worried about. I knew someone who was about 19 or 20 and she dated a 36 year old guy, but they broke up because of the age difference.\n\nI just read your edit...I have to tell you that twenty is a whole different world from fourteen. So like I said, be careful!

I would pay more attention to my parents. It's hard to find out now that they have been right all those times....

i get the impression that if you have to ask your parents' permission, that your under 18\n\nif thats the case, listen to your parents!

Go. If you are having any doubts now they will only triple the longer this relationship goes on. I was once dating a man who was twelve years older than me, and once a man gets stuck in his ways, he seems to be good for sure. There are plenty of fish in the sea and you know what you want. Your still young enough to have your family unit! Go and and get it! Just because someone treats you good and loves you doesn't mean you should stay with them. People who love you and take care of you and can't start a new family with you are called parents.
