Well, I agree that you're probably too young to be dating, but us saying that isn't going to change the fact that you will continue to date.
With that being said I'll try and help you out.
Definitely have you boyfriend come over and meet your parents.
Your parents are a huge part of your life and if you like this guy and he's a big part of your life then it's a smart idea to introduce them. This way you can now have a place to hang out together.
Also, if he's a good kid and your parents like him it'll go a lot easier on your relationship. They'll be more willing for you to hang out with him outside of the house and/or school. If your parents find out and they think you're trying to keep him a secret or trying to see him behind their backs they will no longer trust you and probably forbid you to see him.
You'll probably be nervous and embarrassed but that should pass. The quicker you do it the quicker it'll be over with.

Why would you be too young? When I was your age I always had my boyfriend (and friends) come over to meet my parents and hang out with my family.

My parents knew every one of my girlfriends from elementary school to college and I knew my girlfriend's parents too. So I would have to say I was 8 years old at the time but that comes from living in a small town. While in college, I went away and they only met one of my girl friends from then. I was lucky to come back and marry my high school sweetheart whose parents I met before meeting her. Now for the advice part, if you are serious, which I was not at age 8, but I thought I was, then you can have him meet your parents.It would not hurt to have him meet your parents either way because your parents, as all good parents should be, probably want to know what is happening in their daughter's life.

I was 12, but now Im 20 and believe you me thats way to young, I wish I would have just been a kid while I could be one and not worry about being an adult so fast, so just be a kid for now theres plenty of time to be bringing guys home to meet mom and dad, ok, Good luck and God bless sweetie. oh and dont em just anyone, I seen that one answer that said to em them and they would tell you, becareful about that, they could be "posing" as a girl or a child and really be a grown up bad person. I'm sure your parents have warned you of that. Take care

I was about 7 when I had my first boyfriend... Doesn't mean I was upto anything because I had a boyfriend.... They thought it was cute to know I had a boyfriend and we kissed once in our relationship and I remember telling my Mum how yukky it was....
I had probably proper boyfriends from the age of 12 but we were mainly friends that were boys and we hung around together rather than relationships.... All girls and boys together in a group, my first long relationship when I was 14, which lasted over 2½ years, he was my first love.....
My daughter is 5 now and told everyone when she was 4 that she had got a boyfriend, which I think was cute... She told everyone she was going to marry him, so how cute is that....
As a parent I'd like to know my son girlfriends and my daughters boyfriends no matter what age they are... If you make your children relaxed and pay interest in their lives and not make a big issue about it then I think you'll gain their trust and make them not frightened in sharing stuff with you later on...
Being secretive about the whole thing will make your parents think you're both upto no good... There's nothing to be ashamed of in having a boyfriend it's natural. But be careful.
From what I've read people are jumping to conclusions about the type of relationship they think you're having... Life is full of experiences doesn't mean you're going to go experience everything at once...
Bring him to meet your parents even if he comes over with all your friends doesn't mean he's got to meet them on a one to one unless that's what you want...
Afterwards ask your parents what they thought of your friends and him and then tell your parents he's your boyfriend... They'd appreciate you involving them in your life...
Never be frightened to talk to your Mum and Dad, remember they've all been young and know what happens, they can help and support you through lots of things....
I never bought many boys back as my parents sat them down and asked them loads of question the older I got.... Only because they cared about me, so later on I decided I was embarrassed over the questioning that I didn't both in the end....
A plus side is knowing who you're with and what type of person you're hanging around with, plus seeing that you're human like everyone else.... You're growing up it's natural to be attracted to people doesn't mean it's going further.... Why should you wait until you're 16, yes sexually wait but nothing stopping you from having boyfriends.... Sharing your time and fun and socialising with people of your opposite sex at any age. Have fun and enjoy your friends no matter if they're male or females.
My nieces had boyfriends at the age of 12... We're just very protected towards our children that we don't really want you to grow up. Parent worry no matter how old you are, as they've experienced what you're experiencing now...
Do what you feel is comfortable and if you want to do it, take him home.... But don't make him feel uncomfortable, like I said take a group of your friends with you so it's not too much for both sides to cope with and put them both in an awkward situation....

You are too young for a boyfriend. We were not allowed to have a boyfriend until we were 15. Tell your parents about your 'boyfriend' let them make that decision.

Twelve?!? I guess I had a boyfriend at 12 and my parents met him. But it wasn't like a formal thing. He was just hanging out at my house with other friends. His name was Hoover. I still get teased about that and I'm 31. ha ha ha
