Do your parents approve? Options

[skateforfree]

i let my parents find out on there own

[EmmalieV]

Well , tell her that theres this guy you like and hat you started dating.


Im the same my mom doesnt know about anyy of my ex bf´s but she suspects of course.

[timeflies51]

Well, I've never had a boyfriend, but my parents think it's stupid to date at such a young age. (Hey, my dad didn't go on a date until he was in 12th grade!) But as for approving who I like, whenever my mom has found out I don't think she has ever disapproved the guy. Not like it would really matter to me anyways...

[shewasradiant]

introduce him as just a friend. have him over a couple of times at the house to hang out with you and your parents (or at least with you with your parents in the house) and when you think they like him, tell them.

[curiousperson]

i don't do anything dangerous or do any mean stuff to people
i just sit & watch T.V. all day long
my mom has no rules because she knows that i am too lazy to get off my sorry but & brake them

[literemix24]

Introduce him as a friend first, and explain later. =]

[dreamerOi]

haha well my stepdads never known but my mom has. shes just indifferent about it. haha i think i tell her but i never introduce them cause im scared of herrrr

[WhiteLotus*]

My mom and father just both found out about my boyfriend of eight months. I feel somewhat accomplsished.

But you can casually ask her when she had her first boyfriend or something like that. And then just randomly say that you're with someone.

[mouse_3k]

Well first they have to find out about mine. The once they do, I guess they tend to accept them as long as they dont drink and smoke and all tht other crap. Its all good though. I will date whoever I want if they like it or not.

Eventhough my mom is Asian, she is surprisingly open when it comes to relationships. My dad doesn't bother me much.

I usually tell my mom when the relationship seems stable. She loves all my exs to death. When I broke up with my boyfriend (who I am with again) she was almost as upset as I was!

I think maybe you can try talking about him more in front of your mom. Get her to warm up to the idea of him yanno?

[iixSOOJINx]

if i did, my parents wouldnt mind.
they WOULD say, oh my gosh, such a young chlid getting a boyfriend, but otherwise that, they wouldnt be able to do anything so they'll just leave me alone.

[Just_Dream]

Pssh Anna, if I had advice about this, don't you think I would've told you? I think your parents would be more accepting of it than mines. At least boys are allowed over at your house, unlike mines. Tony came twice though haha--only to fix the computer. It was funny because even though my mom thinks Tony's just a friend of mines, she was trying to steal him away from me. Hahahhahahaha it was funny.

I've NEVER told my mom about my boyfriends. She has inklings, but I try to hide it the best I can. Sometimes I think she knows, other times she seems so oblivious to it. I'm glad for that because I know she would never let me out of the house again or trust me for anything if she ever found out that TONY was my boyfriend.

BTW, I really do hope that your parents accept Justin. :]

Anna I missed you!

[dahding]

i tell my parents. and they accept my gf. my mom is sooo sweet to them. <3 her for that. and my dad's like, "damn right, u better have a gf." so...no problem there. hah.

if my parents find out i even have a boy as a FRIEND they would literally KILL me. so i dont dare tell them anything

[SSJ Kenshin]

My mom ADORES my girlfriend, but her parents don't favor me very much...

[SimplicityGirl]

It's funny. My Mom half approves half doesn't. Like, I'm allowed to go out with guys as friends...but anything over that, it kinda crosses the line. And for my last ex, I never told her about it. I think she knew, but she never said anything about it until my bro spilled it out AFTER we broke up.

Just introduce him as a friend and invite him over more often. She'll get the idea sooner or later.

[jue]

just bring up the subject on guys and such. And if she says your too young and stuff; say that you think you've matured and you're ready. If she says anything about choosing hte wrong guy and that, just say to her that how would she know if justin is not the right guy when she never met him. and then start introducing each other.

It's not that my mother ever tells me that I'm too young to date, etc., it's just that I've never introduced any of my (ex)boyfriends to her before, I don't know how to bring it up, I don't know how to react, I don't know how she'll react.

I get the impression that most of you think he lives nearby - he doesn't. It's a long distance thing, but he's going to visit soon.

[*autumn.*]

Well I'm not in the same situation as you but here's my story:

I started going out with my boyfriend April of freshman year (currently junior.) He was my first boyfriend ever and I was terrified that my parents would find out. I knew that they wouldn't approve. But Homecoming of sophomore year came and I told my parents that somebody had asked me, and they approved of that. And then time passed and .. it was just kind of obvious that we were going out. I never had to bring it up--my mother just asked straight out one day, "Is David your boyfriend?" so I told her the truth and said yes.

She doesn't really approve right now, but she doesn't disapprove. Both my parents think David is a nice kid so it works out so far.

OMG! My parents are <b>exactly</b> the same. I've been dating my current boyfriend for 7 months (next wednesday). My mom constantly suspects me of dating someone before I even started dating my boyfriend, so I just shake it off and make her seem like a retard once again.

[Amaranthus]

my mom gets on my f**kin nerves about everything, randomly asing whether I'm interested in a girl or guy, and asking me to invite my friends over because she thinks I like them.
I don't start relationships very often, but I never tell her anyways.

[LoveToMySilas]

They think every guy friend I have is my boyfriend. They're okay with it, I guess. They don't really say anything...directly, anyway.

[MissHygienic]

My parents don't care if I'm dating or not. When you're young, boyfriends come and go. When it comes to serious relationships? Uh, they still don't care, which is fine by me. I don't really do the whole, "do you approve of my boyfriend?" thing with my parents. They're not the ones who are having sex and spending time with him.

[fadingcolorsx]

Me, I don't tell my mom. Although, the only way she found out about my last boyfriend is because she called his cell phone. But, my dad usually finds out when he brings me to his house, or I'll tell him.

My mom still has no idea of my current boyfriend, and I've actually no intention on telling her.
