ahhhhhhhhh new boyfriend,?

Question

Ahhh boyfriend and parents?
Telling my parents?
I have a new Boyfriend and I really like him and he likes me we've only been dating a couple days and I am 15 he is 17. I have had a boyfriend before but none that my parents no about. But i think this one is different, how do I tell them, I think they would like him but im not sure also I go to a small school and my parents no the boy but not like really well but they know who he is and all

Answer 1

Well from someone who had fairly strict parents growing up and wasn't technically allowed to start dating until I was in high school... I would say even though my parents were never super thrilled about my dating when I was younger...I always got in more trouble when I snuck around.

My advice to you is talk to them directly, which I know may be uncomfortable...BUT...if you come to them and say hey mom and dad, I like this guy and he likes me and I don't want to hide this from you because I want you to meet him...so on and so forth...it will more then likely show them you are more mature then they would have thought. Plus the worst thing they can do is say no...and if that is the case...at least in the future, they may begin to take you a little more seriously.

If you have a sister or maybe an older friend that has gone through this, it might help to ask them the right way to approach your parents and what to say. Maybe just say hey mom and dad can we have dinner one night just us because there is stuff on my mind and I wanna talk.

Ultimately, the choice is yours...but if you get caught hiding this, it will be harder for your parents trust you in the future when you may really be ready to make these decisions on your own.

Answer 2

I think the only thing your parents may have a problem with would be the age thing because he's close to 18. But if you really want to tell them just bring it up casually. You could try asking your parents if you can go out on a date or something and maybe mention it's a guy you like.Then have him pick you up for a date at your house and introduce him to your parents then. I mean you can just come right out and say it when you're eating dinner or watching t.v. or anytime when both your parents are around. Just ask them how they would about you dating a guy from school and go from there.

Answer 3

Test the waters a little.

Remember if your parents are new to you having a boyfriend they may be a little freaked out at first.

I suggest letting your mom know that you really like this guy and ask her about her first boyfriend or how she met your dad or something. She'll get the hint and hopefully how she reacts to you liking a guy will tell you how she is going to take the whole "boyfriend" issue.

The key is just to hit them with a little information at a time and see how it goes before moving on.

Answer 4

K you are young! How can you tell that u like someone like that already after a couple days of dating?? The relationship between your parents and u is how you feel comfortable telling them things. But get to know the boy first cuz you never know how they really are till a month or so down the road. You can never tell after a couple of days.

Answer 5

Of course you should tell them. If they already have an idea of who he is then you have nothing to worry about. Small schools equate to small towns. If there is dirt to be found your father will find it. Take him home, I don't think there is anything worse than hiding the truth from your parents or anyone else for that matter. Parents have noses for BullS**t so you should definately get him home, he may not be the nice guy you think he is......A little secret, boys like younger girls because most of you will put out to impress us. Perhaps that was just me, but be weary if he moves to fast and expects too much!

Answer 6

15 and 17 is not a big age difference. Have him come over with some other people, like you're having friends over and you can introduce everyone. Then after he goes, you can tell your parents you like him and you're dating. This way they'll already know him and may be less likely to freak out if he's a nice guy.

Answer 7

I have been where you are... I would lightly bring up the topic with the easiest to talk to parent and kinda feel out how they would react if you liked a boy and tell them that you like this specific guy and that the two of you have been talking and see what they say... everything will work out for sure...

:)

Answer 8

Only you know how your own parents are most likely to react to you having a new boyfriend. I never cared what my parents thought of my boyfriends...even when I was 18 and dating a 35 year old lol...Don't worry if they like him-they aren't the one's who want him as a boyfriend lol...

Answer 9

Just let them know you two are friends. Parents are not dumb, they KNOW what is going on.

Parents wil never tell you how close an eye they keep on thier daughter.

Remember though...play safe (protection).

You don't want anything to happen that will let EVERYBODY know you a couple for the next nine months.

Good Luck!!

Answer 10

Tell your parents you would like to sit down and tell them something important and let them know that your not sure how there going to react. Tell them there is this boy i really like, he likes me too and were dating and i would like you to be part of the relationship...i'd like to have him over for dinner or something so you guys can get to know him BETTER! If the ask better? then say you already know who he is. Invite him over and try to keep things smooth!
Good luck!
