I talked to him on the internet all the time & he told me he liked me, and I liked him back. I guess you could say we sorta dated, we went to the movies & all that fun stuff.. without my parents knowing & when they found out, they were more mad at me for not telling them in the first place more then me going out with him.
But, they are your parents. And you must respect their decisions. You are only 14, and they're just worrying about you, because you're their daughter. Maybe you could try explaining to them that you really have strong feelings for this guy, and you want them to meet. Invite him over to dinner & stuff and see how things go. Once your parents meet him a couple of times, maybe they'll break the ice and let you date him.
I really don't think you should go behind their backs and like y'know date him and do stuff with him, because don't forget it IS illegal. [ naimee's advice column | Ask naimee A Question ]

Unless you are at least 16 he could get in real trouble for dating you, should your parents decide to push the issue.
As far as the law goes, he is considered an adult. You are considered a minor. Your parents could easily have him arrested.
I know you feel bad. But if you go against their wishes your guy could end up being thrown in jail. I don't think you would want that. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
