Dating.
I just recentely got out of a 10 month relationship, (Three weeks ago) but also just found somebody new. This new guy I'm pretty sure might ask me out soon, but the problem is he's a grade older than me. I know that's not much older at all, but my parents are very protective. I know that if he were to ask me out I'd say yes, but I don't know how to break it to my parents. I don't have the closest relationship with them when it comes to boys. Also, when my sister was a freshman like I am she dated a senior and they let her go out with him all the time. Don't you think it would be unfair if they didn't do the same for me? So how do you think I should break it to my parents?

If he's only a grade older, then isn't there a chance you could technically be the same age? Also girls are a lot more mature and develop in all ways earlier than guyz, so you two will probs be on the same maturity level.
Yeah it is really unfair if your parents let your sister date somebody older than her; and they don't let you.
You really need to sit down with them, or even just the one parent you get along with better and have a calm discussion about it. It will mean a lot to them that you value their opinion, and that you're asking their permission before anything happens between you and this guy.
hope ur ok, and hope this has helped

Your parents might be a little worried, but if you explain to them, maybe they'll make an exception to being over-protective.
Explain to them that you love this guy, and that you want to date him. If they don't like the fact that he's older, maybe they should know him a little better.
I'd suggest inviting him over, so your parents can get to know him better.

He may be a grade older but it is possible that you are the same age. That isn't bad and I really can't think of a reason that your parents could object to. Just tell them you really like the guy and if the want to know about him...and they will, just tell them. It would be unfair if the objected but I don't think they will. :)

First off change the way you think about this, you are not 'breaking the news' to your parents like it is something to be ashamed off, you are informing them about a guy you met and would like to date.
If you talk them assuming they are gonna disaprove and try and stop you, then they are going to smell a rat and do just that. Do you think there is anything wrong with dating this guy? If not, act that way. Don't drag your sister into this cause every kid is different, just use your own confidence and maturity when dealing with your parents.

Actually, I DO think it would seem unfair, but that's just my personal opinion. And why do you even have to bring it up?? Don't say he's older. If they ask, they ask. Just present him naturally, and leave that part out. I've never brought that up before. It never mattered to them I guess, and I wouldn't care anyways. I think if YOU don't make it an issue, chances are THEY won't make it an issue, ya know? Hopefully everything goes as expected! =]

I would just tell your parents that you found someone new that you'd like to date. If you're mature enough to keep a relationship going for 10 months, you're mature enough to date a guy one grade ahead of you.
Since they let your sister date a guy several grades ahead of you, I don't see where they should have a problem with you dating a guy closer to your age.
