I like this guy but i am not allowed to date till i am 18 and i am 13 now. all my friends are dating and this is the most i've felt for a guy. what should i do or say?
iiloveyou answered Friday January 27 2006, 11:09 pm: you should talk to your parents and convince them that you're not the little girl anymore you are a big girl who can handle a boyfriend and is a mature young adult . plus and all your friends are dating so why leave you out of the excitement ?
twistedsister17 answered Friday January 27 2006, 9:48 pm: Not being able to date until you're 18 is a little harsh, don't you think? I sugguest talking to your parents. I bet they didn't wait until they were 18 to date, and you shouldn't have to either. 13 may be a little young, but why not try to compromise with your parents. Act very mature, help out more around the house, and ask them to lower the age limit to 16. You should be able to hang out with your friends, so why not see if you can invite this guy to hang out in a large group of friends? That way nothing could really happen with all your friends around.

jco answered Friday January 27 2006, 9:48 pm: My parents are, from what I hear, the same exact as yours! Now... I'm not telling you to sneak out so don't take it the wrong way but:
You should let the guy know that you like him and if he asks you out tell him your situation. If he's as great as you say he is, he'll laugh it off and understand. go to the movies with your "girlfriends" and you'll "accidentally" meet him there.... all happened by chance of course. And! if you have a friend who has really cool parents who wouldn't tell if a boy came to their house while you were there, you could do that to! I hope this helps you! xoxoxo [ jco's advice column | Ask jco A Question ]
marsbars answered Friday January 27 2006, 9:14 pm: Hey,
I have the exact same problem as you. I'm 14 and i'm not allowed to date, or even talk to guys on IM or have guy friends. I don't know why my parents are so strict. I know this is bad but my advice......just try and sneak. I know you might get caught but just tell the guy ur going out with that your not allowed 2 b so he should keep it on the down low. Hope this helps. Please write me and we can talk more about this. much luv, i feel your pain

cheergrl4eva answered Friday January 27 2006, 6:48 pm: You should have a talk with your parents and tell them why you think you should date this guy and if they say yes have them meet him go somewhere with alot of people so your parents can be more secure somewhere like the mall and tell them you'll be back early and give them a number where they can reach you and to be on the safe side let them drop you off.

kooka-burra answered Friday January 27 2006, 6:38 pm: are your parents really really REALLY strict? if so you could be screwed. if not? well mosts likey they'll let you date in maybe a few years. But lets talk about now.
If you feel comfortable try talking to your parents. There are some stong points you can make like "when did YOU start dating".
or you can ease them into it by first just talking about this guy like a friend. Prais him and make him sound really good to your parents. Don't use the word date. "I'm going out with my friend for a little bit" You may not be telling the whole truth. But your not lying either.
and of course the last option (notice i said option - not advice because this will most likely come back and bite you in the ass) You could go ahead and date this guy anyway. not advised.
xOx_BRUN3TT3_xOx answered Friday January 27 2006, 6:36 pm: Well you could talk to your parents and tell them I'm grown up now and you guys need to let go or somthing along those lines but if they still say no talk to the guy you like and tell him you aren't aloud to date and see what he has to say about it.
ankeagle14 answered Friday January 27 2006, 6:34 pm: try talking to your parents. if they wont ease up, here is the thing. im 13 too. im not alowed to date. i peronally think 18 is too old. if you think you can be caefull about all that 'stuff' then ask him out. go for it. sometimes parent want to protect, sometimes they cant let go...

ratpakgirl answered Friday January 27 2006, 6:29 pm: Talk to your parents a bit. Most parents will say that you can't date til 18 because they can't bear the fact that their little kid is actually grow up. Maybe your parents will lower the age limit? Dunno. If that doesn't work, try sneaking a relationship.. Just kidding.. really, don't do that.. :P Try talking to the guy. It'll be your own little test. If he realllly likes you, he'll wait just a little longer.. If he doesn't want to wait, then you don't deserve someone like him.
Hope that helps,
