Me and this guy have liked eachother for about 2 months (long story why we're not dating yet) and we were outside of our friend's house. We held hands and he kissed me. My parents just happened to be driving by at the time, and me being their "little baby girl" they're extremely over-protective. They went to his house and told him to stay away from him and told me that I wasn't allowed to talk to him anymore. I am very upset about this and so is he. I usually don't get chances like this to have a relationship so please..help. What can I do to make this work?
TheTeenGirl answered Wednesday March 23 2005, 1:55 am: Heres why they were upset:
1. They caught you, thats just bad enough
2. You never told them about your love life, and how much you like this guy even though they are overprotective
3. You're probably only 13 or 14.
Now, you say theres a long explaination why you guys aren't dating, would that explaination be because of your parents? Listen, don't kiss guys who aren't your boyfriend, what do you call yourselves? Friends with benefits? Now, I am sure he wouldn't and you know him well enough, but what if he were to kiss somebody else and said, "but we aren't dating." The thing is, you blew it. I know it sucks to have overprotective parents, but going behind their back is no way to loosen them up, now they are probably so tight like a violin string. You need to earn him back as your friend at least, but until then, you should try helping your parents around the house and ask them if theres anything you can do to earn their trust back. Now, them being overprotective parents, it will take time. But, if they sound really serious, and continue to say that you may not see him ever again, tell them how important he was to you. I know this has to suck, but you can deal.

There probably isn't much you can do at this point.Find out why they don't approve and work on them. Maybe they would let you invite him over so they could get to know him a little. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

And maybe ask if he can come over to dinner and talk to your parents so they can get to know him. Thats all you can do, I hope the relationship works out. Keep me updated if you can!
