My parents always told me I have to date an intelligent boy, and I always have. Nice, American, intelligent boys, but it was only little relationships. So I met this guy and he's not American (he's Puerto Rican), I'm 10 times smarter, he dresses like a... well, not like how my parents like, but I love him so much and I really don't want to let go of this one because he's a real gentleman and I truely am his princess.
So if my parents believe that I could get someone more decent and more intelligent, but I believe that this guy is the one... what should I do?

He's not school smart, but he understands me fully and understands my needs. We manage to communicate fairly well most of the time.

I have an extremely GOOD relationship with my parents! I would never punish them!

I have somewhat of the same problem. If u love him then u should stay with him.
Your parents can't live ur life for u. I understand what ur saying though and I know it can be difficult at times.
If he treats u well and u love him that's all that matters. U will not marry ur parents one day, u will marry a man, possibly this one...so do what's in ur heart.
Good luck!

listen to your parents ..don't sell yourself short look for someone on your level. trust me i've gone through the same thing a dozen times... my parents were typically right...i just didn't see it their way because i was blinded by lust... not love...LUST
you'll figure it out eventually after the initial fun of a relationship wears off...
if you want to limit yourself go ahead.. you'll just kick yourself later. Im sure he's a nice guy... but get with someone on your level or it will jsut cause problems down the road.

You need to get a life and brain. My guess is that you are punishing your parents for some reason--you probably know what that reason is. The problem is that you'll punish yourself more than you'll punish them. If you can do nothing else get counseling help to help yourself.

Be cautious and have a open heart, but at the same time do what you want. Date the guy. We learn about love, pain, life, and gain memories through experiences, no matter how tough or easy they are.

Stick with him, and explain to your parents why you like him there has to be some thing about him that your parents could understand why you like him, if hes a genuine nice good guy than don't listen to your parents, and be you.

Any one can be taught how to dress, and can educate themselves. you can help, but if he will not try to do this for you for your love you must leave him. If someone loves you they should be willing to do or try anything and put that persons needs before there own.

If you are ten times smarter than he is, how will you ever communicate with him?
