OK well I'm 16/f and I have a new boyfriend who I really like and both of us are really happy to be together. The problem is that we don't go to the same school so that really limits the frequency of us being able to see eachother. I wish I could see him more, but the fact is that I can't because there are certain things, like going to his house alone, that my parents are probably not exactly okay with. I haven't told them that we are dating, because I don't know how they will react. I'm not sure if that would make them more reluctant to letting us see eachother because they'll think something will happen between us, or if it will give me more freedom to date him. My parents are reasonable but still strict. The thing is that my boyfriend is really missing me and making it clear that he really wants to see me. I don't want him to be really upset that we can't see eachother more. I just need some advice on how to make this work in the long run, for both of us. Thank you :)

Get in good with his family and get him in good with your family that way you guys can be trusted to visit each others homes while parents are still there and then you both can be trusted to hang out alone. You guys might have to tell a little white lie everynow and then. But 16 is the natural dating age and your parents should already be prepared andready to deal with it. Talk it over with them and see what the compromise can be. [ rierie09's advice column | Ask rierie09 A Question ]

Some people get to see eachother all of the time and they don't even appreciate it. He appreciates every time he gets to see you. It is like you are a goddess, in a way, because he is probably thinking about you all of the time. Maybe not seeing him so much is the best thing for your relationship. Just let him know that you are missing him, too. [ kristamikele's advice column | Ask kristamikele A Question ]

While out you and your boyfriend can possible seperate from the group a bit. My best friend is in a similar situation and we do this for her alot.
