My parents dont want me to have a boyfriend til I'm 16, but theres this guy and we are REALLY close to each other. We hug, occasionaly hold hands, flirt, etc. I know he likes me and I know I REALLY like him...but I dont want to tell him I cant have a Boyfriend because its kinda embarassing for my age. I told him I didnt want a boyfriend right now, but I do. what do I do?

I am 15, almost 15 1/2. But turning 16 seems a LONG way away..

Being under 18, as long as you are under your parents roof, u are under there rules. Your parents should be specific about whether they mean you cant "go out on dates" or "have a boyfriend" or both. They are two different things. If your parents wont let u date, fine. But why should your parents regulate who u can "be friends with". Let him be your boyfriend, but tell him he needs to wait to "do anything" until u are 16. I would let your parents meet the kid, also. If your parents are impressed by him, then they will let there guard down. Tell your parents he is a friend, and invite him over for dinner and a movie (with parents). Once your parents see he is a nice guy, u can hang out with him. And what u do on your time, is your business. ;-)
best of luck to u two!

tell the truth, no lies, they will catch up to you, also tell your parents that u think that you are old enough to start dating...then all is out in the open, if they still say no, then just do what you can at school, and afterwards, they cant watch you all the time, so find the time to be with him..just be careful.....

Explain to him that the reason you want to wait is because you want to respect your parents properly. If he shows that he respects what you respect, then you have definitely found the right guy and he will be worth waiting for.
And if he is willing to wait, then this also shows you that he feels you are worth waiting for.
You have a huge opportunity here to test him with this.

Never be embarassed to be honest. Tell him how your parents feel, you should respect them and not feel bad. You are young and have plenty of time to date. I'm sorry but I agree with your parents.

don't worry i have the same problem, you just got to learn to live with it. if you want to date him, date him; your parents can't stop you from liking him or being with him. I say go for it
