I don't have one yet.
 But my parents keep on encouraging me to get a boyfriend. I don't think they would get mad or anything if I got one though.

that's a good question...
To answer that...me and my mother don't get along very well.....so I keep all of my personal matters to myself, but my mom always sees me hanging around girls because 99% of my friends are females...but when I bring one over and she stays for more than 2 hours...my mom catches on ^_^. No need to say anything... but if she asks then I say "I'm seeing her." ...and let the cards fall where they may. -Kevyn |

My parents want my to marry a chinese man, but I don't, so I've dated a white guy. But my current boyfriend is Chinese hah. Well, I've never really told them that I had a boyfriend. They just kinda deduced it themselves. For my first boyfriend, I worked with him on a project and then couldn't stop talking to him, so they kinda assumed. For my current boyfriend, they met him when we were on a date  , and they weren't supposed to know about him...

I never had a girlfriend, but my sister has a boyfriend. I asked her...
"Are you EVER going to tell mom your dating Jello?" "Yeah, of course" "When..." "When I'm out of Highschool, I would tell her." That's hilarious that my mom STILL doesn't know or have a clue after 1 1/2 year. |

yeah...it just kinda happened and i told my mom. she said okay but not to do anything stupid, you know, the whole speech. my mom told my dad and we just don't discuss it really...lol. they're still really overprotective of us even though its been awhile...or perhaps thats making them more worried.

Never really had an actual g/f so iono what they would say... My dad would probably think that I have skillz cus on the first dance I've ever went to with a girl he was like "bobby, your like sooo brave... i was afraid of girls til i was like 25 << XP." and my mom keeps telling me that I should go out with one of my friends... >.<... so iono....they seem like they would accept it but i don't know for sure...

 Being happy...is all that matters Group: Member Posts: 765 Joined: Feb 2005 Member No: 102,284 |
Well...when I went out w/ my bf (now my ex) last year, I didn't really tell her...but she deduced it from the amount of time I would talk to him on the phone, online and all those times I supposedly went to a friends house to finish one project or another.
My Mom didn't really set a limit on when I can get a boyfriend...ironically she is the one who asked me when I think I should be able to get a boyfriend. Mom: When do you think it's appropriate to get a boyfriend? Me: Grade 12-ish/first year University Mom: Reasonable enough. So that's when you're gonna get one? Me:...maybe? Hahaha...well...I suggest taht you just tell her right off the bat. Just ask her what she thinks is the appropriate age and what does she think if you got one. Good luck! |

hahahah i've never had a bf, but i wouldn't know, it'd probably be pretty interesting.
a few months ago, my mom and i had a conversation that went somewhere along the lines of this: mom - do you have a bf? me - no...why? mom - because you shouldn't have a bf at this age me - ok..i know, you've told me this. mom - but if you get a bf, you have to tell me ok? me - don't you believe me? i dont have a bf. mom - i just dont want to be the last person to know. |

I thinkit was more of her asking me if I did. Cuz when u start calling a guy, and he starts calling you 24-7, and u spend all of your free time with him, its kinda obvious haha. But she also had a habit of thinking some of my best friends (I like guy friends better) were my boyfriends too. so yeah. I just never tlaked about it, it just sort of came to be. I still dont tell her, she asks a lot of question, and I don't lie, I always tell her the truth. so yeah.

I'm not sure. My friend used to tell by starting with something like 'Look I know you'll be surprised by blahblahblah' and keep going by saying you will be with your bf/gf BUT you promise you will keep up with your studies/sports/whatever your parents expect from you. It always works that way. Just plainly suck up to them and they'll be happy about whatever you do.
My friend's parents are extremely strict and she tried this way and it works all the time. |

I snuck around for the first two months or so, but my parents caught on after our first 'date' and after he had called our house to talk to me so many times.
So one day, they just asked me how well I knew Alec, and I simply told them that we had been 'going out' for a few months already. |

i'm just afraid of their reaction, since it's a long distance relationship, and they actually know this guy (family friend)
when i was young i told them i would never date him even if i was paid (we argued alot) and now look.

 ...and this is me.. Group: Member Posts: 3,518 Joined: Oct 2004 Member No: 57,899 |
The conversation went a little something like this:
Me: So mom....what would happen if I did have a boyfriend? Mom: Just make sure you tell me and be careful. I don't think she would mind because she knows that there's probably nothing she could do about me having a boyfriend. But...I've never really told her about it....even though I know that she'd be okay with it...I don't really want to tell her until.....I'm actually in a serious relationship...

Well...I only told my mum at first. It went somewhere along the lines like this.
Me:Mom, is it okay if I had a bf? Mom:As long as you don't have sex and he takes care of you...Why do you have one? Me:Yup. Mom:I have to meet him, and he better not be dating you for your money. Yup, and then my grandma found out because he hugged me lots. Then my aunt, family friends, and then MY DAD.  My family talks about him and makes fun of him now. My dad acknowledges the relationship and all and tries to be nice, but he still sounds like he's going to castrate my bf... |

lol with Jeremy and telling my mom, i remember we were sitting on the couch watching tv, and i was neglecting to tell her for a while, thinking of all the different ways i should say it. Then out of nowhere I just kinda blankly said, "you know, jeremy's my boyfriend".
and she just kinda looked at me...silence. and more silence. And the we kept watching tv, lol it was ackward. But i was glad i told her. But dun worry, she loves him now :) |
