16/f
I just started dating this guy, and I can't hide him from my parents, soon they will find out.
But when they do meet them, im a little worried.
Im 16, and he's 19, which im used to dating older guys, but he will be 20 in late march. Im Caucasian and he's black, which i dont care about, it's just skin color. But i don't know how my parents will react, i don't think it will be a good one.
and i don't know what to do, or how im going to have them meet. I could say he's a senior in high school and he's 18.
But they could find out soon that he's not.

They'll ask you why you kept it from them and all that, it'll just get ugly. As long as you are honest, your parents will respect that. I'm sure he is a great guy and your parents will just have to get used to you dating...its only a 4 year difference.
