Hey everyone.
I recently met a really great guy named Collin about a week ago. Ever since we met, we've hung out together 2 times. He seems amazing & we talk on the phone every night. Problem is he's 23 years old & I'm 16. I know, I know - big problem. It sucks. I never thought my parents would ever make such a big deal out of something, especially age - since they started dating when my dad was 21 & my mom was 16.
Everyone in my family thinks it's a HORRIBLE idea. They all tell me it makes them feel sick that he's even wanting to be around people my age. He's in college & he's an all-around great guy that just seems to be interested in me. We're great when we're together & we don't push things on each other. It's just like a relationship where we have mutual feelings.
I have no idea where to go from this point on. Both of my parents said they don't want me to see him anymore. [I never in a million years thought they would EVER tell me I couldn't see someone.] I know if I sit down & talk to them, and try and change their minds, they may. I just have no idea what to say.
My eldest sister, whose 29 years old is super close to my parents, so she's of course giving her opinions on the situation, and they're all bad, like "She shouldn't see him!" & "I don't want to meet him - he's not coming to my wedding!" & all of those negative things.
Please help.
Although I will want to hear all of the reasons why I shouldn't continue a relationship, please give me some ideas to where I could continue it. I don't think I could end it right now, it just seems way too much for me.
Thanks in advance. (link)

ok well if I was you i would tell your mom and that that when he was 21 and she was 16 so it is really the same thing. Then your going to be like how times were differnt back then and how thinks have change so much so here is what you do. You can come to an agreement with them, like hang out with him when their is other people around like your friends and/or when your parents are around and only when their around. That way you can still hang out with him and they can sleep better at night knowing nothing went on between you and him. hoped I helped.

Well, they won't let me see him AT ALL! Like not even with friends, and I can't even keep like contact by phone or anything with him. My parents will monitor my phone calls. =/ It's awful.
Thanks though.
