How can I convince my dad to let me "go out" with a guy before I'm 16??? I'm 15 now and a guy just asked me out but my dad has said 16 is the age. It's not like we would be going to dinner or anything, maybe a movie. So how can I convince my dad?? (I haven't asked his okay yet because I need advice on how to approach him.) So please help ASAP
Don't tell me to ask my mom cause she is dead so....

Ask your dad if the boy can come over so that he can meet him and find out what he is like. I was under the 16 rule also, but because my parents knew the boy and his family, I was allowed to go out with him. We usually only went to movies or swimming at the YMCA. Get the guy to agree that your dad does the driving so that he knows where you are and what you are doing. He is just trying to protect his little girl (you will always be his little girl no matter how old you get, how married you are and how many children you have). If he is willing to go for this you might be able to date younger.

Like a few others have mentioned.. ask him if the boy were allowed to come over for an evening so he can meet him before he says no to dating early. (This will actually be a good test for the boy too. He will be willing to do this if his intentions are good.) Show him that you are mature enough to handle the responsibility. Don't beg him or get angry or pick a fight if he is unwilling. Make sure that the guy is someone who you know well enough to tell your dad that he is honest and trustworthy. I know when I was younger my dad always had more respect for the guys who would come into the house and talk to him or shake his hand when he picked me up.
I also think, and you aren't going to want to hear this, that not dating until you are 16 isn't a bad thing. Think about it girl, if you tell a guy who asks you out, "Hey I'm not allowed to date until I'm 16," there are going to be a ton of guys waiting in line to take your out the day of your birthday. I will gaurentee the year you are 16 won't be dull.

Your dad Is protecting you. He was that age once and knows what 16 year old boys want. Just Ask him if you get a group of friends together if u could go. Maybe if a group was goin then he would let u. Plus you don't even have to sit with that group at the movie, sit by urself...

Your dad has been there and done that. He is probably protecting you due to the fact that your father was once 16 and knows what 16 year old boys are up to no good.
You have no idea what motivations some people have. Truly, with age you gain hind-sight.
To put it the simplest way I can: if your dad didn't care about you, he would allow you to do whatever you wanted due to his inability to give a damn.
Just obey him for now. Obedience is a reflection of love. You'll have plenty of time for dating in your later teens and twenties.

Well most dads are very particular. So the only thing that I can say to do is ask if he can come over to your house and watch a movie with your dad there. Sometimes fathers are just worried that something can happen to there girls and the girls will be stuck in a bad position.

Thank your dad for his concern and tell him you would be willing to wait until you are sixteen to "go out".
Then ask him if he would be willing to let your friend come to your house for dinner (for the three of you), which YOU will cook.
That will give your dad a chance to meet the guy and talk with him a bit,

How about getting a group of friends together for the "Date"? Maybe your dad would feel more comfortable with that situation.

Since you obviously live under the roof your dad is paying for it is your responsiblity to follow the rules your father sets . Dad says no dating until 16 then that's it. If you're not mature enough to understand following the rules then you're probably not mature enough to date....making your father right all along.

What if you guys went out with a group of friends. I know it would kind of suck but I think your dad would feel a little different if he knew you two would not be alone.
