How do I tell them?

Hey agen! :) I posted a question a few weeks back and I got lots of answers to it but I still dont know how to actually go about telling or asking them? (however you want to put it) It might be a good idea to read my last question first :) thankyou xxx

Im 16 years old, just to clarify. Exactly 6 months ago this boy that I have serious feelings for asked me to be his girlfriend. He has never had a girlfriend before and said he has been wating for the right person. I told my parents and they said they dont want me having a boyfriend. Its been 6 months since then now and he has asked me again, I still really really like him , and think I may even love him. What should I do? Should I ask my parents?? Any advice will be very much appreciated xxx

Yes, you should tell your parents that there is this boy that you’ve known for the past six months that you think you like and you’d like their permission to go on dates with him.

Maybe tell your mom first so that she can gently break it to your dad that his little girl is growing up.

Don’t do anything behind your parents backs. I assume that you have a good relationship with them and that they trust you and respect you. Don’t do anything that can cause you to loose that trust and respect.

Worst case is that they say no. Respect that. They are trying to guide you in the best way that they know. Besides, it’s only two more years till you can make your own decisions.

Answer #3

umm no, dont ask your parents they’ll just tell you no, right! just go out with him if you really think you love him and want to. a little farther into the relationship gently and calmly tell your parents about him if it gets serious and you feel ready enough to tell them( fyi, it might help if you bring him w/ u!)

Answer #4

you want to be treated like an adult so act like one. do not go behind your parents back. just sit them down and talk to them. tell the, you feel you are reay to strt dating and that you have a good head on your shoulders and will not make stupid desicions. ask them if you can invite this boy over a couple times so they can get to know him. ifthey approve of him ask if yoi can begin dating him and if they dislike him tell them you are hurt but will respect their decsion and not date hi,. this will show your parents you aremature and responsible and they may over time change their mind. dont start any fights bc it will hurt you later on. gain trust and dont go behind their backs. goodluck!

Answer #5

You should talk to your parents, but I would highly recomend not saying that you love him because it might freak them out. But you should talk to them, If it helps heres what I did…I talked to my mom first because I’m more comfertable talking to her. I told her that a guy I really liked asked me out, and that I would really like to go out with him. Then talk to both of your parents togeather, tell them that you think you are old enough to date someone, that you are responsable, and are capable of making your own desisions but value the imput of your parents and if they think you are too young then you have to respect them. and talk to them when they are in a good mood, Hope this helps! Let me know if it works out!
