my parents don't trust me
whenever i bring up a guy in a conversation with my father he's always asking 'who is he?' or 'do i know him?' he is always too overprotective of me about boys and dating nd he says i should stay away from dating until i am 18, which i will be in 5 years. i just want him to know that i think i am mature enough to start dating, but i don't know how to say it so he'll understand. sorry if it's too long..

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
I can imagine my dad say something like that, my parents are often overprotective about things like that too. My first piece of advice is that you should find a time where it would be right to talk. Then ask him exactly why he doesn't allow you to date until you are 18, and just tell him right off the bat what you think. Communication is important to solve problems like these, so make some ground rules. Maybe he is worried that you will do things that he feels isn't right yet, so tell him exactly what dating to you is. Fathers usually are like that, thinking that teenagers are unaware of the consequences. Hopefully you two will make a compromise, and straighten things out!
