Am I old enough?
14/f
Last night a boy that I've liked for 2+ years started texting me. We talked for 2 hours and then he asked me if I wanted to go to the Exhibition (like a fair, with rides and stuff) with him. I really wanted to, but I told him I was going to my cottage and couldn't. I don't think I'm allowed to even go on group dates, let alone one on one. He also asked me to a dance 2 years ago, but I didn't really like him then, and I said no.
The thing is, my family sort of knows about this boy, but not in the best way. I used to tell them stories about him, cause he is a bit crazy and nerdy, but sweet and cute at the same time. I kind of left the sweet and cute part out. I really want to ask my parents if I can go, and they aren't crazy overprotective so they might say yes. I just don't know if I can handle all my family (aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, sisters, and parents) and friends, with their opinions and ideas. What should I do?

Ignore what your non-immediate family will say as long as you're happy what they say shouldn't matter :). Like right now I'm in a long distance relationship( I'm in MI and my boyfriend moved to panama) and pretty much everyone thought I was stupid for doing that, but after I looked at how happy he made me, I thought "Forget them. It's not like they know how he makes me feel."

If you want to go, then ask your parents. If you feel you're not ready to date then don't.
If you do ask your parents, don't freak out if they say no or something. They're just looking out for you.

Do you care about this guy? Does he make you happy?
Then in the end thats all that matters its not about anyone else its all about you and him. I've had boyfriends in the past that my family has absolutely wanted nothing to do with but at the end of the day I realized its not about them. It's about me. Some may say you're too young to be dating, but if you really care about this boy I would say go for it! And why not? If he makes you happy than its all the more worth it. I'm sure your family is just looking out for your best interest and they want whats best for you. In the end they just want you to be happy thats all! Good luck and have fun!

It won't kill you if you ask, and since you said that your parents aren't really overprotective, then they might say yes, so i say go ask, BE BOLD!!! :)
