Here's a story...
This guy I know is my best friend.
I love him.
He loves me.
Of course, the nice story doesn't end there.
I'm only 14- my parents said I could date this specific guy when I was 15. (Just cause he's really a great guy- my parents agree and have met him several times)That happens in 5 months.
The problem is that I'm not sure my parents will really let us "date" when I'm 15. (I think that includes being able to go to movies without my brother inbetween, holding hands, kissing sometimes (not constantly)... Occasional dinner...etc.)
Is that too much to ask at this age?
The guy is 16, super respectful, and has shown it by his patience... He's already been waiting to be able to date me for about a year and 2 months. I've known him for like a year and a half.
What do you think is appropriate?
(A little about me: I'm 14- But don't let numbers fool you- I'm Sophmore in Algebra 2, top of my class. I'm extremely mature and have so far have a good relationship with my parents.)

I think your parents are just putting an age restriction on your dating situation because they are worried about you and don't want you to rush life. If you are worried what the rules are going to be for your dating situation when you turn 15, you should definitely ask them to lay down their lines now and talk it over with them, what freedom you would like to have and what they want you to respect. Compromise with them. If you want to stay out till 11 and they want you home at 9, try to come to an understanding, maybe 9:30 on school nights and 10:00 on weekends. I'm 21 and I remember dating and things when I was your age. If he is your best friend, he will make a great boyfriend. If he has already waited a year for this, there is no rush. Take things slowly. Life is long and if you both love each other as much as you say, then you have a life long time to do things with him. I think that your opinion of dating is just fine, but talk it over with your parents (in detail) and get their side of the story too. Good Luck Hun and keep up those good grades!

From what you have said I feel that your ready for an occasionally date. The fact that your parents already know the guy then they probably wont back down from what they said. Make sure you keep bringing it up so they wont for get. You sould mature and he sound like a real sweetie but you have to realize your parents have already been through what your about to get into. Even if the guy waited for you and he seem supersweet always be on the look out cause thats how a lot of girl get into something they dont want to be in because the guy was so nice in the beginning. So it's always safe to ask his friend and family how he is. Be blessed.

Good luck anyway

Your not too young. Go to the movies or w/e together with your friends an his friends. Your parents are more likely to let you go if your also there with peole you kno. Try takling to your parents again. Make sure he knows that you have to wait but you really liike him 2

Prove to your parents that they can trust you. Never lie to them no matter how hard it is to tell the truth. Let them know how you feel and your concerns. Follow their rules. If they say be home at ten, be home at 9:45. They just worry. Don't push it. They will come around, it's new to them too.

BABY ITS A SEASON FOR EVERYTHING.
AND THIS IS NOT YOUR SEASON.
YOU SAY THAT YOU LOVE THIS GUY RIGHT?
WHAT IS LOVE?
YOU ONLY LUST FOR HIM
IF HE LOVE/LUST FOR YOU LIKE HE SAID HE WILL WAIT HIS SEASON. AND IF HE WAS NICE LIKE HE SAID HE IS. WHAT'S THE RUSH?......WHETHER YOU'RE MATURE OR NOT ALL THAT CHANGES WHEN YOU GET WITH HIM. YOUR GRADES AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS GOING OUT THE DOOR. WHY CANT YOUR BROTHER GO TO WITH YOU? UNLESS YOU HAVE OTHER PLANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!STAY A CHILD LONG AS YOU CAN.. YOU WILL SEE THE GRASS IS NOT GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE. LISTEN TO YOUR PARENT.

every kid thinks they are mature, im sure your parents will allow you to date but they will likely want you to ease into it, not just off to a r rated movie right away, respect them and it will get you a lot farther.
