my friend's parents
I have a friend whose parents are really overprotective. She's a girl, I'm a guy, so obviously her parents have a problem with her hanging out with me. She can only see me when we go in a big group that is mostly of girls.
I was thinking about approaching her parents and telling them that I'm a Christian [like them], I don't drink or do drugs, I'm only interested in friendship, I'm a virgin and will be until I get married..basically that I'm a good person. What do you think are the chances that they'll change their mind and let her hang out with me alone?

I think confronting them would be a little too overwhelming. Try just her house and hanging around her parents and being yourself. The more they get to know you, the more they'll realize you're not out to corrupt their little girl. Yes, it'll take time. It won't happen in a week and it probably won't happen in a month, but they'll soon realize that you'll be a good, protective friend for their daughter.
Good luck.

My parents are the same way, but they let me hang out with guys now that I'm older. Before, they wouldn't let me do ANYTHING. They were so overprotective, and I'd throw my fits & whatever, but that'd make them say NO to me still. I talked to them calmly one day, and things changed.
Anyways, I think it's a good idea for you to confront them. They'll see that you're mature & responsible. Let them know everything you told us & whatever else you can think of. =) I think they'll ease up a bit. If not, at least you can say you tried.

I think that you are making a very good choice in confronting her parents about you being friends w/ her. I appluade you on being able to tell them that you are a christian and are gonna be a virgin until marriage and i hope you keep that. I believe that if they are christians and you confront them about this then they should go a little easier..i can't make any promises but i hope that this will help...

im a girl and my parents are just as over-protective. they also think it should be a big group, mostly girls.i tried to talk to them about it but my parents are really strict to their ways. i think its a good idea to approach her parents. that way they would at least know that you have good intentions. also, if worse comes to worse then you can go in a big group to the mall for example, and then go alone with her and meet up with the group later. this is something that would have to be planned out. other than that i cant think of anything else. i hope this helps, good luck!
