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.

VeNzUeLa answered Tuesday June 10 2008, 10:22 am: 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.
