I like this guy but if my parents found out, I would be laying under the grave that instant. Any advice?

Parents are not idiots. Respect them, respect their advice.... just take them in confidence... talk to you mom.. .. let your parents meet that guy & decide. You should then honor their decision.

That depends... Take a step back and look at it from your parents perspective. Maybe this guy isnt right for you but you dont see it becuase you are "blinded" by love. It could also be you parents just trying to be controlling.
If you live in your parents house and you value your relationship with them, I would let the guy go. There really are plenty of fish in the sea... and what type of future can you expect to have with him if you already know your parents hate him.

You have to learn that you're going to make the wrong choices in life, and your parents know that too. Somethings are better learned than taught. You have to learn why your parents don't want you to be with this person, they can't tell you cuz you'll never understand. Your parents are gonna love you regardless of who you're with. You can't live your life worried about what your parents or anyone else thinks. The best thing you can do is listen to why they don't want you dating this guy, but in the end the choice is yours.

Well, if you know that your parents won't aaprove then why date the person. I dated a guy in high school my senior year and my parents were so upset and at the end of the whole mess my parents were a 100% right that he was no good! I wish, I have listen to them! I wasted alot of time on that guy! Good luck!

They probably have this idea ofblack uys in their heads they don't want their dauhter to be associated with. Ex: Lil' Wayne... would you want your daughter to date a guy like him? How abut Ludacris, T-Pain, or T.I? Parents may see these guys and think all black guys are like them. I mean, I'm African-American, and my parents don't even want me to date guys like that. Also, for the rape statistic, you'd want a percentage, considering there are less black men than white men in this country. Also, it is understandable - the stereotypical black man is a criminal.

I know it isn't what you want to hear, but listen to your parents. There is probably a reason that they don't like him, whether they are going to tell you or not...
For example, when I was 16 I wanted to date this guy, and I did it behind my parents backs, because they told me they absolutely didn't want me to.
Then he broke my heart, and when I told my parents what happened they said that the reason they didn't want me dating him was because when we were on the verge of starting a relationship they saw him at the store kissing the girl he eventually cheated on me with.
My parents didn't tell me this, because they didn't want to be the ones to hurt me. However I really wish I would have listened.
Don't Do It!

It must be something about the guy that is bad that would make your parents "KILL" you, so dont disobey them, but if there is nothing wrong with him and he is in school, or works give it a shot, your parents cant be that horrible.
But then again it depends if you are "male" then a serious problem would exists

Save yourself some grief and listen to your parents. They know more than you, (regardless of what you think) and can see things you don't. Hence the saying, love is blind! Parents DO understand, it's you kids that don't understand! You can choose to learn the hard way or listen sometimes and learn the easy way!

What era are your parents stuck in? Some day you are bound to like somebody, why is it a big deal? Ask them casually how they'd feel if you did have a bf.

if you really think they'd freak out that much then it would probably be wise to either break things off with him or keep it a secret. but just so you know, parents are very nosy and crafty which means there's a very good chance they'll find out. so if you decide to keep seeing him, be prepared to deal with the consequences.
