How can I get her parents to accept me?

Well me and my girlfriend have been together for more then seven month now. Her parents are really controlling. Anyways, me n her parents started off alrit, cuz at first they thought that I’m just a friend. Then everything went wrong when they found out we like each other. They thought I would drug her n rape her(for god sake this is the 20th century), which is totaly pathetic-.-… Any how I asked my gf to the Junior prom, n her parents have to sign the release form. Not only that they didnt let her go to the prom with me but also, told her never to talk to me again. Well after the incident me n my gf are still in love. However, what make me tired is that, we always have to hide our relationship from her parents(We dont do anything outside of school, which I think this kinda relationship totaly suk as). Come on someone tell me what should be done here.

Maybe its not you, maybe they just think she’s too young to date right now. And sure I have ideas but they go against her parents wishes so I dont know if I want to do that. I guess, step one would be finding out what their problem is w/ you. You can ask them but she’ll probably get a more acurate answer if she askes them herself and then told you. But if its nothing you can fix and her parents still want to shelter her…….have her go out with a girlfriend(s) of hers to the movies or something and you can be there too. then her girlfriends will dip or sit with someone else. The two of you can be alone. Of course you can’t do this everyday. Be romantic, well you can’t but she can, maybe she can start mailing 1 or 2 letters to you a week or every other week. I know you see each other every day at school, but it’ll be nice to read one of her perfume-scented letters that you received after school waiting in your mailbox, just her saying she’s thinking about you. If you guys have internet, maybe you guys can chat. Well that’s a start…hope it helps!

wow some troubles you have . you are old enough and i m sure she is to and she is her own indepedent person. she is the one who needs to talk to her parents. and tell them this is a decision she is making and tell them she trust you and she loves you and this is her life.i really hope i helped u!:)))

Answer #3

the parents of this girl sound to really care about her.

your influence over her and your pressure are concerning.

if you refuse to honour and comply with their wishes you are making war, contributing to instability and damaging the relationship this girl has with her parents. that is wrong for many reasons. this will likely end in tears.

when you have daughters one day long from now let me predict you will want to guide and protect them the same way.

when you love and care for someone you do things with best interests in mind. you are sensitive to doing things that are inclusive and I might add everyone remains reasonably content.
