My mother doesn't approve, should I date him anyways?

Im dating this amazing guy named Jake. Hes 16 and treats me with the most respect (which that is hard to find in a guy these days) He is everything I have ever wanted in a boyfriend. The only problem is im only 14. Yeha I know its not that big difference but to my mom it is. She wont let it happen. she wont let me ride in his car eaither so its really hard to hang out with him because he lives a town away too. I really like Jake but its eiather him or my mom. I care about my mom but we have never really got along. We always fight and she never agrees with me on this one. Jake said to screw my mom and date him anyway because “love will find its way” and then my mom siad jake is on drugs :] lol so I don’t know what to do . will someone pleae help me?

I agree will angelfire your mom isn’t doing this to spite even tho thats exactly how its feels. I know were your coming from tho im 15 and my boyfriend is 17 and my mother hates him and disapproves I’ve been going out with him for a 1yr now and my mom has calm down a bit but stills a btch from time to time and I understand why. and I’ve never had a good relationship with my mother I’ve always hated her I know thats fcked up but I cant help it if she wasn’t my mother I would never want to know her. but I still respect her even tho I don’t agree with her and I try and understand were shes coming from. I think you should try and understand her point of view on the situation and tell her what you think and introduce them and let your mother get to know this guy and listen to what she has to say and maybe make a compromise but w.e. you do not choose this guy over your mother becuase your mother shall always be there for you and he probably wont .even if he says he will I doubt it. just start simple like maybe invite him over to watch a movie and let your mom see that she can trust you and him but you gotta let her get to know him you gotta try and see it from her perspective as well. I hoped I helped a little bit and I hope everything works out.

Your mom isnt doing this to spite you. She is looking out for your best interest, and she has EVERY right to be involved when her 14 yr old daughter is dating a 16 yr old boy! There needs to be limits set on the relationship, and your boyfriend should be more understanding because you are 2 years younger than he is. Hes being VERY disrespectful telling you to screw your mom, and date him anyways. Your still a child, and children NEED guidance. She wants you to be sure you are making good choices. She doesnt want you to mistake raging hormones for love, because they are two entirely different things. Hes more experienced than you are, and thats usually the reason older boys choose younger girls. 16 yr old boys tend to have one thing on their minds. Dont let him talk you into doing anything your not ready for, or comfortable doing. Be smart, and listen to your mom…she really does know what shes doing!

Answer #3

its natural for a mom to be protective. you going out and dating guys and not being dependent on her is a wake up call that you are getting older and no mother really likes to say good by your mum will not be very made at you if you continue dating this guy, she will come to terms with it she is just trying to hold onto that little bbit of orthority she has left because this means your not her little girl any more and it must be hard for her to bear
