i have been going out with my boyfriend for a little while now.. we were really good friends before we started dating and he is so awesome. he lives down the street from me and comes over alot and my parents like him. but they are really overprotective so i havent told them that i am dating him yet. im really worried about what they would do because i dont want them to stop letting him come over and stuff.. i meet his parents the other day and they think im a good person & his mom want to take us to a movie. but im afraid that when she meets my mom she will tell my mom that i am datin her son. so i dont no if i should tell my parents or not? what do yall think? i will rate 5's
ps. my sister knows that we are goin out but is waiting for me to tell them.

RachiE07 answered Tuesday December 28 2004, 3:52 pm: you should break it to your parents gently and when they are in a SUPER good mood!! that's what i always did. My dad is really protective of me and whenever i get hurt he likes to try to hunt down the guy and bitch at him, but anyways. Go ahead and tell your parents, if they like him and his family likes you -- then your ok! they can't stop liking him just cuz your dating him, in their heads i bet their asking themselves why he is over all the time, dontcha think? LoL

ixjacquixi answered Wednesday December 22 2004, 1:02 pm: I think you should tell your parents. Because if you don't and his mom does tell your mom it could be bad because you didn't tell them yourself. Your parents seem to like him a lot too so if you do go out why wouldn't it be ok. So I do think you should spill the beans. XoJaxXo [ ixjacquixi's advice column | Ask ixjacquixi A Question ]
dancinqueen08 answered Wednesday December 22 2004, 12:11 am: Tell them first. There is always a chance that your sister might accidently spill the beans or your boyfriend's mom could tell them. It's better for them to hear it from you then someone else. Besides, if they like him, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. If you explain everything to them, then it should work out.

Shortie8959 answered Tuesday December 21 2004, 5:11 pm: You should tell your parents. I know they're overprotective, but are they so overproctective that they won't let you date? And if so, just tell them how much you like him, and you'd devasted if they said you couldn't date him. Good luck!
Hope I helped!

chaos answered Tuesday December 21 2004, 9:26 am: Ok you gotta tell your parents. They may feel more comfortable if they meet your boyfriend. And they would probably be impressed if you let them meet his mom. She sounds cool, and if she is taking you to the movie, then they would be happy that you had a chaperone. You just have to spill the beans. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]
PinkLady4863 answered Tuesday December 21 2004, 1:27 am: i would casually mention to his mother that you do not want it to be mentioned because they are very overprotective and you haven't quite told her yet. She should understand. if you bring it up casually it won't seem sneaky, just concerning. But if that isn't an optionyou can just watch what they say toeachother and if she slips something smoothly deny. joke around with him yelling " hahaha! o ya 'bob' my boyfriend! hahahaha ya right!" as if you were all joking. and if nothing i have wrote seems fit for you, just tell your parents. although, that may be hard, it may come out with benefits.
good luck,

funkyfresh answered Monday December 20 2004, 11:27 pm: you should tell your parents before anything. tell them the situation and have a 'talk' with them if they arent cool with it. tell them b4 it is too late. you will never regret doing or saying the right thing!
