Tell him politely - honesty is the very best policy.
It isn't nice to "lead him on"... and if you aren't supposed to date.. there is your out.. be honest, tell him you aren't sure you are ready for a relationship, nor do your parents approve, but that you think he is a great guy and look forward to getting to know him better so when you are able to date, you may choose to do so with him.
You are too young to feel pressured to date boys.. you will have sooooo much time to date the ones 'you' choose.
Best of luck

It is good that you are trying to think ahead on both fronts.
But you shouldn't just cop out by saying, "I'm not old enough to date yet." Because he might keep hope that you will date him when you get older.
It would be better to be truthful but in a way that doesn't hurt his feelings.
"I'm really flattered you asked me out. I know it must take a lot of guts to put yourself out on the line like that. So I hope you can appreciate me trying to be up front with you... I I think your a great guy, but I don't really think of you in *that* way.
Plus I'm really focusing on learning more about myself now. My parents have advised me to wait till I am 16 before I start dating."
Good Luck.

You just have to be up front about the fact that there are rules your mother set for you. You also have to let him know that you're not sure you like him like that. Be assertive and don't let your guard down. But be polite also. You don't want to scare him off from at least being your friend. Hope this helps!

Well your parents gave you your out. If he ask tell him your sorry but your parents want let you date yet. That really sucks . If he ask about hanging out. Just tell him you really can't because your parents will think you are sneaking around. Ask me to go out again when i am sixteen.

If you aren't sure, then the best thing to do is not to go out with the guy. Be sure to tell him exactly how you feel, leaving no stone unturned. If you feel comfortable, go ask your parents about it, specifically your mother about it and what she thinks about your situation. Trust me, a mother knows a lot more than we often give her credit for.

Sounds like these are the only facts that matter:
1. Your folks don't want you to date until you're 16.
2. You're not 16 yet.
The answer is simple hun.....listen to your parents!!!

Be honest. Just tell him that right now is not the perfect time you have alot going on and you need to consintrate on that. Good luck to you

tell him that you can't date until youre 16 but you'd like to be his friend. telling him that you can't date until 16 saves you the trouble and possible hurt of having to tell him you don't like him that way and it's honest!

Tell him, "I'm not allowed to date until I'm 16. Sorry".
