should we just go out anyway or should we respect our parents wishes?

I am not sure how old you are, but your parents are certainly adults. If there is no other reason why you two shouldn't be in a relationship, they'll simply have to grow up and respect your choice to date the guy that you like. Your sets of parents are going to be dating each other, are they? Right, so their feelings about each other shouldn't have anything to do with it.

I guess it depends on how old you are. And also why the parents hate each other. If it is a race thing then I say screw your parents. Further I think the parents are wrong for inditing the child for the perceived sins of the parents.
I suggest step back try to look at the situation from your parents side and see if there is any sence to it. If there is, follow their wishes. If there isn't come up with a CALM, rational reasons why they are wrong. Be a diplomat about it though otherwise nothing good will come from it. But as I said if the reason is race, or creed or color or some other stupid thing like that then the parents are just stupid.

It's dangerous to go against your parents wishes...how old are you? If you are under sixteen, just stay friends. Maybe go out with a group of others, but no exclusive dates. Especially since the parents will have to chaperone or at least drop you off. If you are over sixteen it's your choice. Date him, but be prepared to accept the consequences your parents throw down.
You definitely need to talk to your parents. Both of you. You never know, just because they hate each other, doesn't mean they hate the kids.
BTW- Read Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare - just don't imitate it. Faking suicides is always bad.

What are your ages? How much do you like one another? Chances are, if this is a young romance, it won't last long enough for it to be worth the issues caused because of your parents dislike for one another...
Maybe wait until both of you are out of your respective houses and then see how you feel about one another...as adults, there's not a lot your parents could do to you...

This is a typical parent situation. Just go with your heart, if you really like this guy and can see it going somewhere then stay with him, your parents will come around. If you do not see it lasting then end it now before your parents try to end it for you.

Oh, so it's "Romeo and Juliet," and "Westside Story," all rolled into one.
Whether or not you respect your parents wishes depends upon your ages. Even if you are of age, you don't need to be rude to them - see each other privately.
Their feud should have nothing to do with you and him.

I think it depends on the situation, like whether or not your parents have a good reason for not wanting you to be involved with this family. Think with your head, not your hormones or emotions.
