parents plus boys equals no bueno.
so ive never had a boyfriend. and my parents are really into the whole christianity goody good thing. [not to offend anyone. its jsut that they look at everything in that perspective].
so this guy told me he likes me.
and i think i like him, too. but hes not exactly what my parents good classify as "they guy for me" hes a good kid, sweet kind etc. anyways. the problem is that i am not really personal with my parents. we dont talk about boys or periods or anything like that unless i absoulutely have to. so if i start going out with this guy, how can i tell my parents without them freaking out?
how should i start the convo? etc.

Well you can start with the usual, "Can I ask you guys something?" Or the, "When is it the right age to get a boyfriend?", Or, start with a hypothetical question/situation, like "What would you say/do if I got a boyfriend, or wanted one?" That way you can see what their response is without being attacked and lectured on religion. Talk to your mom first, because you're a girl, most moms like a good relationship with their daughters. So just ask and talk to her openly about it, be hypothetical if you're worried.

i had the same problem with my parents when i started dating.. just sit down with one of them, it is easier to start with one because it is less nerve-racking, for me my mom was most understanding but everyones families are different. then just tell them that you really like this boy and that you have known him for awhile and now for a fact that he is a good kid. tell them that you beleive you have been talking for awhile and now are a couple. the best thing you can do is reassure again and again that he is a good kid. then take him to meet your parnets. this is so nerve-racking for both you and your boyfriend, but your parents will most likely be more willing to let you see him if they have met him.
Good luck :) and if you need anything you can email me or inbox me!
