I have a guy friend that I really like, and I think that he wants to ask me out. The only probelm is that I'm now allowed to date. Now, I'm sixteen, and my parents don't want me to date until I'm in college (which I think is unreasonable). I'm not even allowed to have guy friends, so I have to sneak around to hang out with him.
Now, I know my parents wont understand if I ask them if I can date him, but should I still persue it behind my parents backs? And if so, how could I manage that without them finding out?

I'd just talk to them about it calmly, without getting upset when they say no, & ask them. Let them know you'll be responsible with him [no sex] and then see what they say. If they say no, don't throw a fit, just say "okay" and walk away. If you're all harsh & super "omfgihateyou" then they definitely won't let you. Hope I helped!
allishow answered Thursday August 10 2006, 12:20 am: you need to talk to your parents...(i sure you have tried tho) college is a bit unreasonable...but, yeah. just try setting a specific time that you will be home and actuialy get home at that designated time. they will most likely gain more trust in you then the had before and probably allow you to keep seeing this guy. oh and a little sucking up before hand never hurt!!

LiVEYOURLiFE answered Wednesday August 9 2006, 10:51 pm: Yeah. That's totally unreasonable in my opinion too, but unfortuately, what your parent's say, goes. I'm not sure if I'd persue a relationship with this boy, or not. It'll be incredibly difficult to see him, & your parents'll be pissed if they find out. That'll be another reason for them not to trust you. It's really your decision, though. [: [ LiVEYOURLiFE's advice column | Ask LiVEYOURLiFE A Question ]
