I'm closing my account after being on this site for longer than I can remember right now.
I would like to say thank you to all the columnists that I've met through this site, may your hearts of gold continue to shine through this site.
My reason is simple: I no longer feel I have a use for it anymore. I once was a person who couldn't help other people because of certain difficult situations in my past, but all that has now changed. This site allowed me to be who I really was and for that I'm so grateful for that. It played a very important role in my life and I'll never forget it!
The questions which I answered allowed me to reflect on my life and where it was going, and gave me the opportunity to really appreciate the life that I have, which I'm now living with open arms.
I wish you well for the future,
Triquetra....signing off for the last time.

this guy lets call him mike, he asked me out on wednesday and i said yes because i like him a lot! So, obviously now im the happiest girl on the earth. But, heres a problem... I'm a sophmore and hes a senior! Well, hes turning 18 in november and i'm turning 16 in december. Well, I know once he turns 18, everything illegal. But i snuck out last sunday to see him and i got caught so my mom doesn't really like the sound of him. I've been giving hints by wearing his football jeresy home, he picks me up for school every morning [but i go to my bus stop so my mom doesn't see that but yesterday he got me at my house because it was pouring] My mom like doesn't trust me with him! What can i do to make my mom like him? And, i want him to meet my mom but i dunno if shell like that. My mom is usually laied back about who i go out with, but for some reason my mom doesn't like that hes 2 years older then i am. help!
my questions:
1) how can i make my mom appreciate/trust me with him?
2) how do i make my mom like him?
3) how can i TELL my mom im going out with him other then throwing these stupid hints around?
any other advice about this subject will be appreciated!
thanks in advance :) (link)

If I were you, I'd still invite him around to your house.
I can understand as to why your mum in nervous about you being with him. Having a two year difference in her eyes maybe frowned upon by other people and she doesn't know exactly as to what he's like:
1) She doesn't know whether he's a charming young man or not.
2) She doesn't know what kinds of friends he's got
3) She doesn't know what he does in his spare time (trust me, that's a biggy). So to her, he could be doing drugs or something of that nature (ONLY an example).
4) She doesn't know anything about his upbringing/what his family is like etc.
5) She doesn't know anything about what he's studying/whether he's got a job or not.
6) She doesn't know if he will treat YOU right.
You can't force somebody to like somebody, it's like trying to force yourself to like a guy and it's hard to do that because of all the issues you may have with that person.
Just tell her that you're going out, there is no point in beating around the bush now. Might as well hear what she's got to say about it and take it from there.
I hope this helped,
triquetra
