I've been in your same situation when i was younger. with my parents i told them some of the nice things that this guy did, that let them know that he was nice. Ask this guy to meet them. Not really at the house at first, but maybe at a park or a school activity. Then he won't be so nervous. Tell your mom first. Mom's are always easier. Dads will understand eventually. Don't say date or anything yet, say hanging out or something like that, then after a while say casually in a conversation with your parents how your friends think that you and _your guys name__ are such a cute couple. or something like that. that will be easier. if they are really strict just say that this guy is your special guy. hope i helped!!!

Well, it you are at an appropriate age (15 and up in my opinion), and you are really interested in this guy... not physically please (remember...true love waits)... I encourage courtship... there's a book called "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" by Joshua Harris, and it's wonderful (it's about courting)... that way you and your parents can be involved and there won't be any secrets and the respect can still remain. Believe me if you are open and honest with your parents and help them understand that you want a healthy friendship with this young man, there shouldn't be a problem.  Best of luck...es

He's the perfect guy for you. You know him, you trust him, and you like him. Most importantly your parents like him.  When he flirts with you i say you flirt back. When you get the chance kiss him....

wait to see if it works out there is no point in getting hin to meet your parents because if they like him and it dont work out there going to chew your ass and say how great he was for you.

show them that he is a good person and how well he treats you, thats really all you can do, maybe if they see those sides to him they will lessen up on the issue alittle bit and not judge him by the color of his skin, but by his character and as an individual, if not then remember that you will always love your parents and will want them to accept whatever life choices you make, but they wont always like what you choose and it is afterall your life and you and you alone have to account for your own happiness....*good luck*

to begin with honey, he doesn't love you. if you're not allowed to have a boyfriend yet, i'm sure your parents have a good reason. they are just trying to protect you from having to make decisions you're not quite ready to make. if you've seen me on here you know i'm gonna tell you to take this time to learn and to grow without complicating things. learn about yourself. learn about others. and as you're ready, learn about life. you've got a lifetime ahead of you. don't rush into things. :)

Ok- from experience. . .\n\n*Is this guy really worth it?\n  - do you like him\n  - is he even cute\n  - is he respectful\n\n*If your parents find out you're dating w/o their permission, you're dead.  So my advice is\n\n*ask your mom again\n\n*if she's says NO, she's got good reason.  parents aren't blind and they no what's best for you, even if you don't think so.

I personally don't ask guys out.  If I want to be asked out, I send off signals letting the guy know that I like him.  Body language tells it all.  As far as your dad goes, you have to live life for you (not unless you have kids).  Do what makes you happy!!! Your dad may have reservations, but thats only because they've seen, and went through things growing up, that we fortunately didn't have to.  Your dad will come around, especially if the guy you like is a good guy.  Plus your mom wouldn't mind.....you know women have a way of swaying men minds (smile)  Good Luck!

Best thing is to only tell people you trust, like a close friend preferrably a girl, they seem to be more understanding than a typical guy friend. I wouldnt tell your parents just yet I would hold off until it feels right, it seems to me your learning about yourself right now and you found something that interests you, and it may be something that passes and it may not so I wouldnt alarm anyone just yet. Take a deep breath and think about what it is your looking for and go for it. When the newness wears off and your sure you will always be this way, then tell your family because then you will be more confident that this is how you are and they have to accept you. I have seen alot of parents go to the extreme when finding out their child is not as perfect as they hoped, or they have different looks on thier life than their parents expected, just something to think about. Lots of luck bud...

He sounds like an upstanding guy. Why would your parents be mad? Is it just the age difference? I say tell your parents everything. The may like him they may not. But you are now 18 so you can make your own decisions on who you date.

You like him, he likes you. Go on, though some people might still be a bit skeptical about interracial relationships and not totally agree with them we're living in another era. But still.. if either of you is close to your parents take into consideration how they feel about it to be prepared for whatever may arise.\n\nBest of luck!

Are you really sure that you dont like the guy? even just a teeny weeny little bit? Well, then you just have to tell the truth to your parents and tell the guy to call you at home instead because the cell phone calls are really expensive. Just explain to your parents that he is only just a friend and site facts like, you know who he's currently crushing on and stuff, or tell them who your crush is so that they wont become suspicious anymore. I mean, having guy friends are perfectly normal. you are just one of the lucky girls to have an especially close guy friend that is not in any way a boyfriend.

Listen to your Momma!  If the guys are worth your time, they will still be interested when you are old enough to date.

Did you ever stop to think that your parents do think you are responsible and trustworthy, and that their reason for not wanting you to date is because they don't trust who you may end up dating? Maybe ask them about that?  Discuss options like taking a self defense class, prove to them that you can fend for your self and protect yourself if they are not there. Maybe becoming open with them and discussing dating... what you expect to happen when you date, what they expect... run through scenerios that you may find yourself in.... Find out their fears and concerns for you and work together with them on what you would do if you were in situations that they are concerned about.
