How to persuade parents to let me fly to see my boyfriend?He moved away a few years ago, and my parents didn't really ever get to meet him.

We really want to see eachother again. He tried a while ago, but his parents wouldn’t let him..I would like to fly to where he lives with my mom, and stay for a few days. I found a good deal on orbitz for $711.00 for the tickets,hotel for while we’re there,and a rental car.. It says theres only 2 tickets left for delta airlines..The exact number i need, haha. What exactly would be the best way to bring this up?

Answer #1

well, i doubt your parents will want to fork out that much for you to see some guy they havent met. why not wait a bit longer and show them how responsible you are by getting a job and saving your own money to buy the tickets and things you need. your boyfreind could also get a job and maybe save up half to pay you back? or maybe ask your mum if she could match whatever money you do save for the trip

Answer #2

you could- A) beg and plead your parents to let you go cuz your “madly” in love with him.. or B) convince your parents that the best case scenario for them is to go with you to actually meet him.. And if you really want to see him, try everything..

Answer #3

Well, you’re 16 right now…and if your boyfriend left town “a few years ago”, how old were you when he left?…I doubt they see this relationship as one that was serious enough to warrent a trip to visit him.
