Who knows what I should do myparents dont let me have a boyfriend?

My kids have to wait until they are 16. There are more important things in life than boys.

What is the age they want you to start dating? Sometimes you dont have to tell them I mean everybody does it because sometimes perents thing is not true love. What I would consider is, if you think you just have to tell them, is them meeting the boy and talking to him so they know that you are safe sience it seems what they think that matters he most.

just go out with him behind your dads back, IF you think it will work out. but if you do, dont show him that your constantly worried about getting caught or make him act all secretive. hell get annoyed and begin to loath your parents and then mabey even yourself.

My parents dont let me either, I would try to get there respect for you first though, let the know that you are responsible and know how to make the right and wrong decisions. Then tell them that you really like this guy and you are pretty sure that he likes you too, ask them what they would think if he asked you out and you said yes…

Well, my mom said I could start dating in eighth grade, but my dad didn’t want me to start dating ‘till I turned 16. I’m sixteen now, but I have had past boyfriends, and just didn’t tell my dad. My current one I started dating when I was fifteen, and we became really committed to each other, so my dad found out about him and at first was mad, but when he met my boyfriend, he ended up really liking him. Maybe you should introduce them to the boy you like and see where that takes you. If they like him, ask if it’s okay that you date him =] ~~Britt

Ask your parent’s when their ideal age for you to start dating is. My parent’s didn’t let me until I was 15.

I’d wait, and hold off on dating this boy. If you both really like each other, a little waiting wont kill you.

Sit down with your dad, and simply tell him that your growing up, and that it’s time to start talking about boys. I know it can be embarrasing, but letting your dad know will be best. He’ll understand-he has to sooner or later. Your growing up :)

I wouldn’t date him behind your parent’s back. If things end up bad and your parent’s find out, they might not trust you when they allow you to date. And trust me, you do not want your parents not trusting you when it comes to dating. Humiliation, much.

I wasn’t allowed to date until I was sixteen. I’ll be seventeen and a half on january 2nd of 2010… I personally love my parents for making me wait. even when I turned sixteen I wasn’t ready for a boyfriend. I fell right away for a seventeen year old guy that I met online. he was in love with my 19 year old cyber sister, and she already had a 2 year old daughter and was very mature for her age and she didn’t like him back. but when he found out I liked him he was reluctant at first, but then he told me he liked me back, but he dropped out of my life and stopped talking to me a couple of times within the next few months, and by november I didn’t know what to do and started cutting myself, and by december I was overdosing on promethezine (prescription cough syrup). he apologised and started talking to me at the end of december, I would even sneak downstairs at 2 in the morning and take my dad’s cell phone back up to my room and call him. I was completely in love with him. most people would say that a seventeen year old doesn’t know what love is. they would say I’m immature and have a lot of growing up to do. and I would just expressionlessly agree with them, because I know I don’t know everything, and I’m so so so inexperianced, and don’t know anything about love. the thing is though, everyone starts of that way, and it’s the hardships of life and the experiances that help you mature and grow up. but you need to listen to your parents. this guy said he loved me. I was going to move out to portland and live with him and finish highschool out there and go to college and everything as soon as I was 18. but… I went to church camp this past summer in the ozarks ( I live in iowa by the way), and a lot of teens there and councelors talked to me about it,and told me it was a bad idea and I should wait and obey my parents. I was so mad. I loved him and didn’t think he would ever hurt me… I forgave him for dropping out on me before, because I thought he was just scared and insecure. I had been overdosing still, and it was getting worse and I had even started overdosing on my trazedone (sleeping pills for depression). I had taken up to an entire bottle and a half of the 250 ml bottles of promethezine, and up to 15 (50 mg) tablets of trazedone. I don’t know why I did it so much, I hated myself, and was extremely self consious. I have been my entire life but none seems to notice. anyway, I hadn’t cut since like may, and camp was at the end of july into the first day of augus, but I started cutting again the day of camp, I guess it was because I was feeling alone and anxious. and yeah I wanted alittle attention to, I admit it, but that wasn’t the main reason. one of the guys that was a counselor and a member of the band (NATE DREGE ROCKS!!) noticed my cuts… and had his wife come over and talk to me which just her talking to me and being friendly made me feel a whole lot better. within that week of camp, I had cried my eyes out, rededicated my life to christ, thrown my blades into the bonfire, and made a vow to myself and my friends and family to stop cutting and overdosing for good. :) and I still haven’t hurt myself. but I wanted to so badly when my boyfriend really dropped out of my life for good. he texted me towards the end of august telling me that it wasn’t going to work and I needed to move on with my life. he didn’t get that it would hurt me…at least I didn’t think he would… but a few days later he emailed me (he had blocked me from everything) with a picture and told me he had gotten married. my other cyber friend that was still his a social site friend told me otherwise when she checked his status though. it was his friends wedding. so I don’t know what really happened. but a few weeks ago I found out a way to talk to him, and he told me to leave him alone but I told him I needed to know what happened, and wouldn’t leave him alone, and finally he just told me he couldn’t handle long distance relationships. anyway, I have someone now that I’m being much more careful with and I’ve actually met him in person and he’s even stayed at my house (slept in my livingroom), and even though I met him online (I know I know) I think he’s a good guy :), but the whole point of me telling all about this stuff that none is even going to read all the way through most likely is that it gets hard sometimes when you are young. and my parents were right to disapprove of him. they knew what they were talking about and I though they didn’t know anything. you are fourteen ‘itsbeth’, life is short but it’s what you make of it that makes it worthwhile. don’t do anything you would regret. besides boys mature slower than girls, and the older guys will expect more of you than you are ready for. and even if you think you are ready, think again. think far into the future and think about what it would be like to spend forever with that person. that is the point of dating. to find the person you are going to be with forever. and more likely than not it’s not going to be the first guy you find. just wait it out. if you find a guy you like, maybe just hang out with him as a friend until you are old enough ,or your parents trust him and you enough to let you date. but don’t go to quickly because although life is short, there’s the exact amount of time that you are meant to have, and you want to make those times happy, not depressing and soul destroying.
