I'm 21. I'm not really responsible either.
To parents, you'll never be responsible.
That's life.
However... you can totally fake it, and get them to believe it. It takes a lot of acting like an adult... so that means doing chores without being told, let them see you doing homework and other studious things (read sometime if you don't right now, like for fun, not for school), if they let you out at night, come home early once in a while instead of pushing curfew, etc. Act like a mormon, basically. Then ask them to go out with the guy. Wait a little while and ask again... This is an extremely long process of faking responsibility and respect.
In reality, you're 16 years old... don't ask permission, get a boyfriend and just don't tell your parents. Lie your butt off and don't let them know. If you're careful, this will work. If you're not careful, this could get you in a lot of trouble. So weigh your options, but seriously... lying is easier, faster and just means you have to be smarter than your parentals.
