alright. this will be long.
me and my boyfriend have known eachother since kindergarden. we went out in sixth grade, and broke up after 4 months of seeing eachother.
i am in love with him, and he knows it, because we have been going out again since the 2nd. last night he told me he loved me as well.
my parents do not approve of him though. i think it is because my mom thinks he lies to me (which he doesnt) and my dad never liked any boy i went out with (because that's just how dads are) my sister doesnt like him, either, and i dont know why she doesnt.
how can i get my family to approve of him?

have him over for dinner and tell him to shake ur dads hand
dads love it when boyfriends shake thier hands

Talk about your boyfriend around your parents. Tell them how good he is and how honest and great he is. You can make anything up if you wish. Love is everything! Do anything to make your parents approve nad if they don't, why should you care? Love is love and if you two love each other try not to worry about it. If they cant understand how perfect you two are meant to be, then why not just tell your family "mom, dad, sister WE ARE IN LOVE AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK NOW BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER UNDERTSNAD HOW MUCH I LOVE HIM!" Try that or first try the accepting him part. Say good things about him. Hope this helps. Goodluck!

K, first off I admit, I don't know your family, suppose there are people out there who actually DONT want the best for their kids/sisters.
Maybe just accept that your family don't like him, that they have absolutly no reason to like him or trust him and know that they like you enough to admit it and don't want to see you hurt.
Sadly you can't trust people just cause, thats something they must earn. Its up to your boyfriend if your family is to approve of him, not you.
Last thing I can advise is for you to read "The Road less traveled" by M. Scott Peck... then again I'd advise everybody to read it.

Maybe invite him over to dinner one night just to let your parents get to know the real him. Explain to your mom that he doesn't lie and that he never has (even if he has) and that you like him a lot. I know how dads can be but just ask your sister why she doesn't like him, talk to her about it. I hope that helped! <3 Peyton

tell your family all the good things about him. ♥ Brittany

A lot of the time, parents don't approve because they're trying to protect you, even if there's nothing to protect you from. Let your parents get to know him, invite him over the house or something like that. Your sister probably doesnt like him because she either, KNOWS what boys are like, or DOESNT know what boys are like, if you catch what im saying.
Just let them all get to know him, im sure with time they will be able to form some kind of trust for him.

hm this will be tough .i think eventually invite him over for dinner with the family..but not now
for now, keep talking about how he makes you happy and how great he is..maybe have your bf meet your parents..have your parents meet his..and eventually arrange for a nice dinner with your family and his
family approval is hard and they might not ever approve, but the important thing is that your happy
