So I have a boyfriend I've been dating for 5 months and my parents have met him but they don't know we're dating and they think where just friends and I'm not sure if I'm even aloud to date but this boy means the world to me and I only get to see him once a week at church and every time I do I have to be sneaky.......and I want to see him more and not have to be sneaky.....and my parents are super overprotective and strict...I'm 14 years old...........so how do I tell my parents that I'm dating him?
They haven't talked to you about dating yet. So I wouldn't suggest saying that you've been dating him for 5 months.
I think you should talk to them, and tell them that you like him and you want to go on a date with him or have him over for dinner or something.
A lot of parents aren't ok with their kids dating at 14. I mean it is young, but it might be hard to change their mind especially if they're very strict.
So talk to them, see what they say, and if they're ok with you getting to know him slowly instead of jumping into a relationship, then there you go. I'm pretty sure they'll be a little surprised if they find out you've been in a relationship with him. [ lightoftruth's advice column | Ask lightoftruth A Question ]

When I felt like my mom would not understand that I wanted to date someone was hard and I couldn't talk to any of my parent about it without getting shy I made a card with things I had to say and gave it to my mom and liked it so much she understood it perfectly. If you prefer to speak it out just write down ideas that you want to say it really helps. So your remember what to say.it also so helps so you show your mom how much you care for the guy.

If your not sure either will be understanding, than speak with them together. I'm not sure I would tell them you've been dating for five months but, whether you decide to tell them your dating or not, I would start along the lines that he asked you out on a date with a parental escort, preferably your parents. This will make you both seem responsible, put your parents mind at ease, and give you more opportunities to see one another. Regardless of your parents response, keep cool; the more you act as an adult, the more likely they'll treat you as one. Remember to pick a time when your parents are not distracted or stressed and able to listen. [ AngelsHaven's advice column | Ask AngelsHaven A Question ]
