Home More advice Parents & Family
I am 21 years of age, a newly nursing graduate. I had 5 ex-boyfriends during my college days without my parent's knowledge. I have a suitor who happens to be my neighbor. I like him since I was in highschool, but I wasn't able to know him because I was too busy with my studies. It was just this year that I found out that he liked me too since then. He courted me recently. I like him very much, but I am scared if my parents will approve of him courting me. My father knows him. He is a very nice guy. What should I do? I know that I will be affected of what my parents will say about him.
Congratulations on getting your nursing degree at such an early age !! - I'm sure all are very proud of you - my youngest did the same at 21, now at Stanford Univ ICU - since he is a nice guy, you shouldn't have much trouble - I would bring it up, "What would you say if... - I think you'll be fine - fatherly advice coming here: since you're so young, if you save even just a little for a nestegg now, you'll be very surprised what it will grow to...I wish you every success/happiness !!
Dear joeyam2, If you are living under their roof then you do have rules to follow. You are at an age and with a degree to move out. Until then you do what they wish and if that means not dating this guy then you don't. It's time to get on your own. Find a good job, a nice apartment and then you will be able to make your own rules. Sue...good luck
you are 21! your parent cant tell you who you cant and can date. geeze! stand up for yourself...learn to be a proud woman. if your parents dont like who your dating then tough!
