Question Posted Wednesday March 2 2005, 4:40 pm

I rate high....

Well me and this guy are friends I like him and stuff well he wants to go to the movies this weekend but my mom said I cant date until im 17. I told her its just as friends but she still says no. Just because she iddnt start dating until she was 17 doesnt mean she had to do that to me. What should I do? I really realllly wanna go with him.

Well, you said you were going as friends, so why not let more friends join you? I think she'll be more convinced that way. If she says no, tell her its 2005, not 1950s-60s-70s :p. Seriously!
"I didnt start dating until I was 17" isnt an answer, ask her why! It doesnt make any sense!

Well there's nothing you can do unless you can get a group of a whole bunch of different friends including him to all go to a movie..and even though you guys wouldn't be alone..you still can consider it a date. There's not much I can say in this situation but I really hope I helped.

Good Luck =)

Well, for this weekend, your best bet is probably to make it more than just you and him. Invite other friends to go along with you, or take your little bro/sis (if you've got one)

For future (changing your mom's mind on the dating thing)... You have to show her that you're mature enough to date. Stuff like helping around the house, doing your homework, doing stuff she asks without complaining, not fighting with siblings, etc. shows maturity. If you're already doing all this- it can help to go the extra mile every once in a while. (examples- offer to empty the dishwasher, do your own laundry, or whatever else you can think of that she'll notice) Also- talk to your mom. In dealing with parents, I've learned that communication is key! Parents like to know what's going on in their kids' lives. I'm not saying you have to tell her everything you'd tell your friends, but tell her about your friends and about school. And don't wait for her to ask all the time, either. Volunteer the information- at the dinner table, say something like "So, my math test was really hard today" or "We're reading a really interesting story in English right now." When your mom sees that you're maturing, and not a little kid anymore, she'll start to trust you to make your own decisions.

On getting Mom to realize that this guy is just your friend... Invite him over to your house a few times. Let her meet him. Maybe have him over for pizza some Friday or something, so your mom can see you interacting with him and realize that he's just a friend.

I had this problem before.I know how bad you feel when you can't go somewhere because of your parents. There's usually no getting around parents, but maybe this'll work for you:
1) Talk to her again, and ask her why she thinks you are too young. Ask for specific reasons.
2) Tell her whatever you're thinking, and why. Tell her just that- that just because she started dating at 17, doesn't mean you have to.

This is a different day and age.
3) You two should reach an agreement with this.
Good luck=) Hope i helped!

Karen answered Wednesday March 2 2005, 5:00 pm:
You need to talk to your mom and tell her that she shouldn't raise you like she was raised and that you shouldn't be allowed to date until you are 17 because you don't want to be like your mom. Maybe your mom will let you go if you bring some friends with you? Try letting your mom get to know this guy and just keep on telling her that you are only friends and friends go and hang out at the mall and movies and it doesn't matter if they are guys or girls.

Just tell your mom that you are going with a whole bunch of your girlfriends to see a movie. If she still doesn't let you go, go over to a friends and to the movies from there.

Try to get some friends to go with you so you go in a group. Then you can just sit seperate from your friends in the theater if you want to be alone with him. If your mom still says no then you're just going to have to wait. You can still walk with him in the halls and talk to him over the phone. Just don't let your parents know. lol

LeftyViper02 answered Wednesday March 2 2005, 4:49 pm:
Ok well what I would do is get some other friends to go and tell your mom that it is going to be whoever and whoever and this guy. My mom would probably say it is ok. You might also want to try to just say your girlfriends are going (the whoevers)

tell her youre going tro a friends house or your taking your dog camping or something. jsut call your best friend and tell her to have her mom (if her mom is cool) tell your mom that you guys are there, and if your mom wants to talk to you just have her mom tell your mom you guys went out to eat, or whatever. wow that confused me. okay well anyways just lie to her!! first try getting her to let you go and then say "Fine il just sit at my friends house all day and watch movies with HER since you wont let me go and see a movie at the TTHEATRE!!" wow that was gay and wont help. sorry about the bad advice, all i can say is make sure whatever you tell her..is...good?? i dont know..does he drive? you can sneak out or something. good luck.

You can sneak out, but I dont reccomend it if you dont really know how to get away with it. How about asking your mom if it is okay to be a few friends a long? So its not really a date, its a group date..try that! And get some of your friends to come:)
