telling my mom
I'm sixteen years old, I finally have a boyfriend. lol. We've been together for two & a half weeks. My mom doesn't know about him yet. He & two best friends keep telling me to tell my mom, but I don't know how to come out and just say it. She used to not want me to have a boyfriend a few years ago. I think she might have changed her mind about that but I'm not sure. I want to tell her soon though so I don't have people telling me to do it. So, does anyone have ideas about what I could say or do? I was thinking about writing her an email. Thanks. :)

Just one day when shes home...gradually leak into the idea of you being old enough and responsible enough to have a boyfriend. And you met a guy that you really like and hes a nice guy and if she could meet him and give her outlook on him before saying no dating!

you should just go tho the mall with her and have "quality time" with her and just go out and tell her I m sure she wont mind.

well i think you shood write her an e-mail especially if she checks it every day and if she read your e-mail and she brings the subject up just say mom i found someone i really like and i hope you can accept that i mean i am sure she will understand parents listen they love you and they will soon love him to
TRY THAT<3

I don't know if you asked him or if he asked you out...but you could just start out by saying "So mom guess what? I'm interested in someone now...and he's interested in me too, and he became my boyfriend. I really want you to meet him because he's great and you would like him" I don't know if you really do want her to meet him, but if she knows you want her to be involved...it may take some getting used to the idea but it shows maturity. Good luck and I hope I helped!

just come out straight and tell her but tell her that it won't interfere with anything u do trust me on this the same thing happened to me o and invite him over for dinner so ur mom can see how nice he really is

Don't write an email. You need to be straight forward with her. I know that it's hard sometimes to tell people something like that face to face, but it would show her that you're a responsible person and you are responsible enough to date a guy - as where an email would say you're afraid of comming out and telling her things and you don't want to send her that message becuase she'll have about a million other thoughts about what you're afraid to tell her.
So, while having dinner one night just tell her. Say that you met this guy, and he's really nice and you're dating him. She'll probably want to meet him, but before she even asks to you should probably suggest it first. Say something like "Hey, how about I invite him over for dinner one night so you can meet him." This will really show her that you have confidence in your relationship and that you're really not trying to keep anything in the closet.
And her being able to meet him as well will make her feel a lot more comfortable with you dating, if she doesn't feel that comfortable already.
And I know that it's not really all that 'cool' to invite your boyfriend over for dinner to meet your parents. But you'd be showing them a lot of respect and how much of an adult you can be about dating.

Don't write an e-mail. I think it'd be better to do it face to face. Walk up to her while shes cooking or something and just say "Mom, You wouldn't mind if i had a boyfriend, Would you?" Or "Mom, I have a boyfriend. He's really sweet and nice, I want you to meet him!" Or "Mom You're perfectly Okay w/ me having a boyfriend, right?" Or just bring up the topic of BOYFRIENDS -it always works just to let her talk about the topic. <3

Id say "Mom- I have a boyfriend his name is (his name) and hes (interst good things her to tell mom)"
