my gf and i broke up because my parents dont want me going out yet.now, we would have been going out for 5 months if we hadnt broke up with at the time that we did. her parents told her that the only way to get over me is to not have anything to do with me.so i had done the same thing, ttaken all he stuff that reminded me of her, and either putting it in the very back of my closet, or throwing it out(cds, letters, cards, gifts, pictures,etc)so i didnt have to bare it, because everytime i see her or am reminded of her now, i get depressed. and she goes to my church(which is today) and i dont know what to do because im afraid to see her because i KNOW that i wont be able to talk to her. and shes all i think about so it makes it harder. i dont know what to do. i feel discouraged because of this. i feel useless. and i feel like i might as well let everything go.
plz help.

It's going to be hard because you liked each other. Maybe you could just date a little until her parents let her date for a while. I can't tell you if she will be waiting for you, but you need to show her you were true to her to the point where maybe she could convince her parents to make an exception. If they're good parents then they will want their daughter to be happy and they will soon see, that you are what makes her happy. You just need to prove to her parents you are a trustworthy boyfriend. Good luck! =] [ geegollyHOLLY's advice column | Ask geegollyHOLLY A Question ]

karenR answered Sunday March 4 2007, 3:41 pm: Honestly I think you are both taking this to far. Just because your parents don't want you to be exclusive at the moment doesn't mean you can't still hang out with her in a group of friends type setting
does it?
So you knock off the smooching and stuff until your parents allow you to date. Unless she wants to go out with someone else I don't think it hurts a relationship to become even better friends before dating someone exclusively.
Hopefully, not seeing you at all was just a suggestion her mom made and not something she is demanding of her. Talk to her and see if she would agree. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
