Tell them you found a job and are moving out. Until you can do that...deal with it.

You would think that's stupid and foolish. That's the exact reason you have to have parents make your decisions until you're 18. As to what to tell them, say "Mom? Dad? You're right, this guy I'm interested in is a loser just like you said, and I'll follow your advice from now on." See how easy that is? And your life will be far better for it.

How old are you? It's amazing how much smarter your parents get as you get older! But back to your question...at least look at the guys your parents are picking for you. Find their good points (they DO have some). Talk to them and get to know them. Decide exactly why you don't like these guys. As for them telling you what to do, well, are they telling you to do things that are bad? Doing your homework, getting home on time, dressing well...these are things you will need to do when you become an adult. When you begin doing them on your own, they'll stop telling you.
So...make a list of what you like in a guy and take that to your parents. Talk about what you like and really listen to them, and what they want for you. Choose to believe that they want what is best for you, and really listen to what they think that is. Don't shut them out just because they are on your nerves. They really do care about you and want you to be happy.

It's not easy to hear your parents say something you would rather not hear....what you don't realize, is just how difficult it is for them to tell you something they know you don't wanna hear. As parents we want what is best for our kids, & even though you think you have found Mr. Right & you know exactly what is what, 9 times out of 10 your folks will be right....it's not b/c they enjoy you being unhappy it's b/c they have lived it & they are trying to protect you from heart ache. (which means they are being good parents..) the best approach is to talk with them. tell them you know they only what is best for you & that you know they love you very much & you love them too....& you will take what they say & consider it carefully, you just want them to give you a chance to explore your feelings & trust you to make good choices. that they have done a good job raising you & that you know you can come to them with anything at anytime." that's the best approach. Keep the lines of communication open between you & your parents. If you do so, they will be alot more open to letting you "spread your own wings", b/c they can trust you, you aren't hiding things from them... Good Luck.
(keep in mind your parents are always gonna be your parents, bf's come & go)

How old are you?
If you are under 18 there is nothing that you can do. If you are over 18 MOVE OUT!!!
Always remember that we as parents only want the best for our children. Sometimes we see and understand things that you don't because of experience. You one day will see that too, but until you do remember that no one will ever in life love you like your parents.

Depending on your age, it varies. If you are at an age where you feel you are responsible to make your own desisions without help from your parents, then kindly explain to them that it's time for you to learn how to deal with the things that life throws at you through your own experiences, not theirs. If a percentage of immaturity still exists, then wait it out a little until you find the right time be your own desision maker. ;)

Mine do the same thing. Just tell them you are dating who you think is best for you at that time. You appreciate that they care so much, but that it is you dating a guy not them. Tell them that you like to date a variety of guys with different characteristics and styles so that one day you'll know when you meet that special one.
When your parents don't like who you are dating remember that it only matters if you like the guy and if he treats you well, just try your best not to freak out at them, i did and it didn't help any.
