How do I tell my parents?
17/f. Never dated anyone, at all. I've been talking to this really great guy for a few weeks, and my parents have no clue who he is because he goes to a different school. He and I both like each other and are going on a date in like a week or so. The problem is that we haven't spent much time together in person, so that's the point of the date- to see if it would even work. We talk on the phone and stuff but it's not the same as actually hanging out.
So how do I tell my parents without making them think that he's my boyfriend? I know they'll want to meet him at some point, but he and I have barely even gotten to hang out ever so I don't know how to make this not awkward. Plus, this will be my first date ever so I know my mom is going to be all weird.
Help?

They would likely be extremely happy that you are going on this date. Let them both know that the guy is just a friend whom you know from other friends.
Tell them that you aren't together and that he's not being considered as a potential boyfriend. Let them know that this may change in the future but hinges on this date.
Ask your mother and father to give you total, complete privacy and tell then they can meet him briefly to say hello but more indepth later on if it goes anywhere. I'm sure they'll understand and make things so they aren't so awkward.
Moms are all alike. I can see why this would be a big deal for her and that she'd be proud. Let her be a part of this in a subtle way for example she could get your hair fixed up, a new outfit, shoes, cook a meal or snacks or whatever else.
I don't see how a picture with you and your date is so bad but if you do get her to respect your privacy in the manner above.

I would tell them that at the current time you are just friends and in the further you may or may not become more. it is all up if things work out and such.
