Well Katie, you didn't reveal how old you are. If you're under 15 yrs old, you aren't ready to go out on a date alone with a boy. Now if you want to hang out with friends someplace and be home on time, then that would be a compromise. If you're 16 yrs or older, and she still won't let you date, then you need to work on that. First let me just say that parents have your best interests at heart, there are a number of unkown dangers for girls in this world that your parents are trying to protect you from. You might think your invincible and nothing will happen to you, but the first time you let your guard down, it does and it could be the last time you have that chance. It might sound overprotective, and maybe it is, but we as parents have the moral, legal and ethical right to protect you and we will do anything to do that.
Now let's talk about gaining ground of trust with mom. First you have to give her confidence that you can listen to instructions and follow the rules. Make plans with more than one friend to say go and have something to eat at the local hangout, and agree to the time limit, be home on time - NO EXCUSES. You need to build this trust up with mom and she will begin to let you do more and more. Just remember there are people who may be old enough, but not mature enough to handle situations. Always give yourself wiggle room, and don't believe you know everything there is to know.
You can not know the deepest love mom has for child, until you are a mom yourself.
I hope this helps you understand a mom's point of view. I wish you all the best. Have Fun! Hugs

You have a great group of answers to choose from so far but let me give you some more insight - 1) If you're asking (because there is opposition) then it doesn't matter your mom doesn't think you're old enough. 2) Just because your friends or other kids you know have started dating doesn't mean you should too. 3) Heightened hormones are not an indication that you are ready to date.
Just enjoy growing up, spend time with your friends and trust me wait until you graduate high school or at least are in high school to start dating at least then you'' have more school activities ( with groups present) to participate in that your mother may feel more comfortable with you attending with a young man.
- Good luck

First of all, how old are you? It doesn't help us very much if you don't give details.
Second, if you want to show her how mature you've become, don't type in all caps. And learn to spell.
Third, you can "comformize" by suggesting that you go on a group date. Gather together your date, a bunch of your friends, and their dates, then go somewhere completely legal together — just a fast-food joint or a movie. If you come back from that in one piece, she should be cooler with it.

Learn how to spell! Take responsibility for yourself. Be more mature acting. It is very difficult for moms to let go of their children when they are not responsible. There is no certain "age" that is old enough to date. It depends on the culture, local customs, the individual child and parents and of course, the circumstances. Perhaps, you could suggest to your mom that you be allowed to meet with a group of your friends for socializing purposes. After a while of being home on time and responsible behavior your mom will allow you to date. Double dating is good, too. There is not so much pressure to entertain your date.

I can't answer that question unless I know how old you are. I can try with a few ages. Let's say you are 15 that's the earliest you should be dating...and then your curfew should be 10pm and date only on weekends. Oh by the way the word is compromise.
If you are 16 then you can discuss with your mom what your curfew should be and do not give her a hard time.

When your mature enough to talk to here face to face..and you did not list your age. If your under 16 I don't think u should even ask. Whats your hurry. Go out with a group of friends and just have fun. You have your whole life to worry about boys.

Well, I hate to tell you that it's not about your age. It's about your parents fear of your lack of decision making prowess. This is probably totally off base though. You need to choose a guy and have him introduce himself to your parents and ask them if he can date you. This really impresses the parents. Then if you can introduce your parents to his, your pretty much guarenteed a date. My parents are very lenient on dating and my mom believes it's a great experience, but I have had run ins with numerous girls who are supposedly not allowed to date. This helps.

once you're getting into the back of your mom's back when you consider which you do in comparison to her selection, you're patently not sufficiently old to this point. For heavens sakes, you're in basic terms 13! you have a lot of time! Why are you in one among those rush? extremely of attempting to get a boyfriend, why do not you attempt to get boys who're friends (not with advantages, you do not prefer to smash your recognition)? this form, you may replace into extra comfortable with the alternative intercourse and, once you do initiate relationship, that's not as awkard. do not throw away your innocence and the time you ought to delight in your infants (which you're on the top of). it extremely is the diverse suited time of your existence. delight in the time you have.

have a sit down, heart to heart with her
act mature and dont moan and complain..if u really want your mom to "compromise" with you, you need to get on her lever..have her explain to you all the down-sides to u dating and listen (or atleast pretend to listen)
then tell her why u think you're mature enough to date..chances are since you listened to what she had to say, she'll listen to you
as long as you have a good reason..ur mom will let you
