my boyfriend


Question Posted Monday June 13 2005, 2:31 pm

i'm having trouble getting my parents used to the fact that me and my boyfriend have a 3 years difference in age. he's 16 and i'm 13. my mom likes him but my dad gets a little to protective about it and they won't let me drive around anywhere with him. he's a really sweet guy and i trust him with my life but my parents don't see my side to this. what could i do to get them to trust me and him together in a car and get them used to the age difference?

Tell your parents that you understand where they are coming from and that you know that all they want to do is protect you(bonus points). Ask your parents to go somewhere and ask him to tag along ask him if he could drive, let your dad sit in the front with him that way he notices that your man is responsible and a good driver. Maybe your dad start knowing him a bit better. Hope i have helped.

Um..they wont..and well shouldnt...thats insane..do you really know at the moment what goes through a 16 guys mine...especially with a 13...when most are naive and will do anything...i dont know you...and you mite not me but thats what all 16 year guys think...that 13 yr olds are easy to get into bed..and its not smart to be in a car alone with him...cuz even the nicest best guys still have those thoughts..and im sure he could overpower you..so just be careful...

You know what? Dads going to be overprotective regardless of the guys age. I didn't let mine date until they were 16, so I think 13 is a little young for dating myself. I let them go out with a group of friends but I think the one on one dating is to intense for 13. But, since your parents allow it then I think maybe if you have him over to your house often enough for them to get to know him a little better they might feel a little better about it. You could also consider going out together with some of your other friends as a group. That could help too. :)

heyy .. umm you should ask your parents for permisson to invite him over to meet him and see how nice he is thats the 1st thing you have to do and then maybe ask your parents if you could all go out to like dinner and then a movie have them sit a bit away from you too and have them watch your actions so they can see that he is nice and then maybe they will understand your point of view then but dont nag them

hope i helped
good luck

Parents are naturally overprotective, especially when the three "D" words come into effect: daughter, date, difference. And since this seems to have to do with driving too, the best way to convince your parents is to show them. You & your boyfriend should coordinate a day where you can take your parents to lunch... with him driving. Take them to a restaurant that you know they like. On the way there, they'll be able to see how your boyfriend drives & how sweet he is. Good luck hun! ♥

Oh gosh, wow. I'm 14, and the boy I like is 17. (He likes me back).. We're secretly going to the movies together, actually, with some friends. My parent's don't know about him, yet.. but when I do tell them, just explain [if your boyfriend is within these same circumstances] it like this, "Look, he doesn't smoke, or drink. He's still a virgin, and we have a lot in common; Saying you don't like him, is just like saying that you don't like me. Its only 3 years, a typical circumstance for a Freshman and Junior when they're in school together."
Maybe then, you can have him throw in some stuff like, If your mom is a Jesus-Lover, he can quote the bible, and If she doesn't like Bush, he can talk about that. Just have them Agree :]
