about

Simply put: I'm here to help. I love helping others.I am a very open-minded individual. There is pretty much nothing a person could ask or wish to discuss that would embarress or offend me. No subject un-nerves me or makes my skin crawl in that icky "I'm uncomfortable" way. So I'm perfect for this kind of thing.

I technically can't "date" until I turn 16. I've had boyfriends before but not ones you actually go on single dates with and things like that. My parents are okay with that kind of thing, but what if a guy actually asks me out? What should I do then? Thanks!

Perhaps you can find a happy medium with your parents if the situation arises. A compromise you can both live with.

A suggestion would be having dinner at either your home or your boyfriends home. Spending time together in groups of your friends, or with your families.

Most parents main concerns for a teenager dating is that they will make bad choices when dealing with sex. That is why they have the age restriction. At 16 they may feel you will be better able to make a responsible choice.

But it may put their mind at ease, and show them thier little girl can be responsible if she comes to them and tells them that she really cares for this boy, wants to spend time with him, but understands thier concerns, and wants to try to work out a compromise they (yoru parents) can live with.

More than likely they will be very proud of you for coming to them and trying to have a mature conversation on the subject.

I have a 13 year old daughter myself. And this subject has come up in our home. Compromising and allowing her to see a boy she likes at our home for dinner or watching tv, has worked out very well. She gets a little ground to show she is mature and we get some more time to get use to the fact she is growing up. ;)
