Xo_Ashie_oX answered Friday August 19 2005, 2:04 pm: Just start talking about this really cute guy... that usually'll get your parents to thinking... but whats easiest is to talk to which ever parent you get along with better and tell them when your alone... they hardly ever have a hard time with this, unless the person youre tryin date is a drig addict and stuff like that... but belive me, your parets will be fine with it... and if you need to, give yourslef a little pep talk before you start talkin to them...

BlackBeltxO answered Friday August 19 2005, 1:50 pm: All you really have to say is "Mom/Dad there's this Boy/Girl that i really like.." Usually that gets parents thinking. It can go either good or bad, but its a convo starter and you arent flat out saying it. Hope this helped. [ BlackBeltxO's advice column | Ask BlackBeltxO A Question ]
CrystalRenee06 answered Friday August 19 2005, 10:32 am: Well, I don't know how you get out your anger, or your issues in life with your parents. Me, I usually write down how I am feeling. I am good with words on paper, and not face to face. Some times I can't find the words to say when I am trying to tell someone how I feel when I am TALKING to them. But when I write every thing down, it comes out nice and smooth, and there's always a good ending. BUT... If your not good at writing, then you have to be good at talking. So sit down and talk to them and tell them that your ready to date, and if they have a problem with it, then I don't know what to tell you. Maybe your parents feel as though your too young. But you can still do what you want to do behind their backs, you know that is always what I did. But some times I regreted it because I got into a lot of trouble with that. Just really be careful with what you do.. And make sure that you don't lie to them.. Cause in the end they will always find out.. TRUST ME!!

xRoOxiSxBlOnDex answered Friday August 19 2005, 10:15 am: Show them you're responsible and willing to listen to their rules. Unless they have some kind of reason why you shouldn't date, convince them to start off slowly. Try group dates first. Movies with two or three other couples. If you have a cell phone, have them call it to check up on you. There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to start dating, if you're emotionally mature enough.

Dakmor answered Friday August 19 2005, 7:04 am: Late at night, call them into your room, and say something like "Ok, so let's say there's this (boy/girl)." "Yeah?" "Who I like." That's what I did, and it worked. Hope I helped! [ Dakmor's advice column | Ask Dakmor A Question ]

TRiSHx0xL0VE answered Friday August 19 2005, 1:55 am: OK..I think what you should do is just be like "hey mom/dad do you think that my friend *name of guy* can come over for a little?" And as your parents get used to guys coming over the more and mroe they will trust you to go on dates. That's exactly what I did and they have no problem with it now.

vilelove answered Friday August 19 2005, 1:13 am: Hi There,
To make things a lot easier on yourself you should only ask one parents. The one you are closest with and has direct authority over you. If someone has already asked you out or if you already asked out someone you can say "there's this person at school that asked me out" or "I am very interested in someone at school." and see what your parent(s) think about it. They will usually say something encouraging like "maybe you should talk to them more" and then you should say something like "I would like to go out with him/her. ...What do you think?" That's kind of how I told my mother about my first boyfriend and she just told me that if I was sure I liked him or if I was sure I wanted to give him a chance than it was OK. After that guy I never asked if it was okay to date a new guy anymore. Well hopefully it'll work out OK. [ vilelove's advice column | Ask vilelove A Question ]

FunnyCide answered Friday August 19 2005, 1:09 am: Well, why don't you sit down with the parent that you think would be most open to the idea and casually mention that you like this boy. Describe him vaguely, that he's funny and nice, and makes good grades and has good friends etc. See how that goes. Then suggest that you might enjoy going to the movies or something with this particular boy. See how that goes. Then ask if that particular boy were to ask you to go on a date to the movies, would you be allowed to go. See, you're asking the same question, but in a much more vague and gentle way. If you tell the parent that would be most open to the idea, they can make it sound better to the parent who would be least open to the idea.
If you don't like to say things face-to-face; write a letter/E-mail to the parent that would be most open to the idea. But things mean more when they are said, not written. Be sure to mention that this particular boy make excellent grades, doesn't hang out with the druggies etc. Don't make your parents mad before you ask or they'll be more likely to say no. Be vague, don't say "Can I go out with this boy tomorrow night?" because they won't have time to think about what you've said and about the boy and if you should go out with him. Generally parents have your best wishes in mind and don't want you to get hurt. :-)

brunettecutie answered Friday August 19 2005, 1:04 am: i think you should explain to them you want to date. just say something like " mom, dad, i am getting older now and i would really like to have a boyfriend, most of my friends have one and i think i am old enough to date a boy." say something like that. dont beg and annoy them about it, you know? then they will be like, oh your not showing ur your mature enough. (or something like thta. you know?)
