Answer 2

I think what I'm going to write will apply to the gals, as well as the guys.
Because a "split-custody" situation ruined my summer vacations, when I was in high school, girl friends were hard for me to find and dates were few and far between.
The study requirements made dating difficult, during the only year of college I could afford.
I started dating routinely when I was nearly twenty years old and in the navy.
WOW! Don't any body do THAT!
I knew all about Amy Vanderbilt's "Etiquette", but I was really lacking in what are called "social skills".
The only way to learn these skills is being with, and talking to, other, different people.
There is a time and a place for everything.
The time and place for many things is a date.
People expect teenagers to be timid and conservative when they're young, and that time frame fits well with casual dates.
You must earn your parents trust.
Your parents need to meet your date, if you're a girl.
Have a definate activity planned. Go hang out at the mall with a pack of other girls, but go to a school class play, or something like a basketball game with a date. The dead-line for being home has to consider the ending time of the movie, play, or game.
Try to arrange for "double dates" or afternoon dates, when just beginning.
Look for dating places with lots of people and casual dress. Your parents will be more trusting if the dates start casually.
You aren't dating to find a life-long spouse.
You are dating to learn how to find a life-long spouse.
The sex issue is dependant on your parents security with how well they have taught you values.
The older a person is when they start dating the harder it is to start dating, and the mistakes get bigger, sooner.
GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 3

Is there any reason he doesn't want you dating? Does he think of you as trustworthy? Have you given him any reason to think that you won't be responsible while on a date?

He may be concerned that if he "lets you loose", you'll end up doing things that you're not ready for. Then again, he may be overprotective.

Suggest you start slowly. A chaperone is kind of an outmoded concept, but maybe if you invite a friend to the movies along with the family, it'll have the same effect. Next see if you can double date-- use the buddy system, and see if you can get a girl friend and her bf to go with you. Keep curfews, don't get into trouble. Don't let your social life interfere with schoolwork or household chores.

Eventually, you'll build your father's trust, and he'll probably let you date.

Answer 4

Well I think your dad is really smart to not let you date yet b/c dating is really serious, its how you find someone to spend your life with, which I doubt you are ready to do yet. Also, dating puts you in situations that you might not be ready for yet, like sex. At any rate, maybe you can talk your dad into letting you do group dating. You get a bunch of your girl and guy friends and all go to a movie or bowling or whatever. That way you can kick it with boys, you'll still have your girl friends to go gossip in the bathroom with and your dad will feel like you're in a safe situation. And just tell him exactly that, that you understand that dating is serious and might put you in a bad situation but that you want to just hang out with a bunch of friends and that you won't be alone with any boys and see what he says. Whatever he says though, respect it. You might not understand now, but you will. Your dad is a guy, so he knows exactly what boys your age are thinking and wanting and he only wants to protect you. Your dad woupld probably love to be able to let you do all kinds of things, but its the boys and the other people in the world that he doesn't trust so just trust your dad for now, he will not lead you the wrong way and you'll be so thankful later in life that you had him looking out for you.

Answer 5

Well, you should be straight-forward, and tell him that he's living in the modern world. My cousin's daughter is currently 14, and she is dating someone already.

I can, however, put myself in your father's shoes. After all, there are statistics that young love do not last forever. What will happen if a couple ended up in different colleges? Different high schools? Young people tend to change their feelings, sooner or later. Believe me, it is very depressing when you're heartbroken. I don't think that your father would want you to be in the pain of a broken heart.

If you found someone who you truly love, and if the person you're crushing on feels the same way, I'll suggest you to "aim" for the relationship, despite your father's thoughts.

Good luck :)

Answer 6

Ignore the sicko finger dude, what an idiot, he won't quit, it is probably things like that your dad is afraid of!!!!!
I don't know how old you are, but I understand his concern. It it very scarey for dads when their daughters want to date, because he was that age once too and he remembers what HE was like!!! hOnestly, dads have alot more trouble letting go of daughters than moms do....moms know that the evil boys can be fought off if need be and dads don't see it that way...
I obviously am a mom, but not yours so maybe this advice will be appreciated hope it helps....
You need to let him know that you can handle yourself, if you can, start taking some responsibility around the house that you aren't mad to...you know, dshes, whatever anyhting, (make sure he notices or hears about it)...and think and act maturely, show him you can handle yourself...it may be tough but stick to it, he will understand eventually that you can handle it...act a bit older than you want to, I am really concervative as a parent but 18 is a little extreme to me...so be good, do good things, act maturely, maybe your mom could help too if she is around. good luck and hopefully happy dating...!!!!!!

Answer 7

well i wasn't allowed to date until i was 18 either and he told me this when i was about to be 17 and that felt like a lifetime away but im 22 now and i still remember what he told me..he said i wasn't mature enough to grasp the concept of being in a relationship and to be honest i think he was completely right..i see how much i've grown since then and i see what he was talking about..he doesn't want you to grow up too fast because honestly there isn't any hurry..don't worry you will be 18 one day and then you'll have the rest of your life to date :)

Answer 8

Tell him...
> If you don't learn now, you will be taken advantage of later and after 18 you will be all by yourself as an adult and fully responsible.
> It's only dating, not a marriage proposal
> If you don't keep up with your peers, you won't know what to watch out for when the more experienced boys start playing games.

Answer 9

kids under 18 cant understand why they can do that. but your father was a young man once, and trust me he knows exactly what happens out on dates, hes been there done that and by no means does he want his little girl do that way. it is a normal thing for fathers to say no. if he has made up his mind then its no. i didnt get to date til i was 18 and let me tell you something you really arent missing awhole lot. it is still the same no matter what the age.

Answer 10

In this situation, your dad is just being protective of you, his daughter. It's understandable. What you have to do is make him more comfortable with the idea of your dating, and make sure he knows that you are trust-worthy. Why don't you try going on a group-date to start? Then once your dad becomes more used to the idea, he'll probably ease up a bit.

Answer 11

THANK YOU DAD!!! because he loves you and really takes care of you, too early sweetie, don't want to feel those heartaches and sleepless nights yet, enjoy school with friends, (grlfriends) and when you're 18 you are a little matured to handle yourself and whatever's gonna come into your life, Daddy and Mommy went through all these they're just being careful with you, and that is a genuine LOVE!!!!
