Parents don't approve at ALL!! Posted: 05-12-08 10:04am
I am sixteen years old and the guy I have
been talking to is twenty years old. My
parents are totally against it because of
the age difference. I will be seventeen
this year and i really like this guy! He
has a full-time job and lives with his
father and grandmother. He pays the house
payment and other bills. He respects me
and my beliefs. We have been talking for a
month behind my parents backs and I really
just want them to approve.
We have not done anything on a sexual
level and that is both of our decisions. I
need help in trying to figure out ways to
get my parents to like him. He is a really
great guy and I want my parents to see him
as a guy who i like and care about he
feels the same instead of a guy who is
trying to steal their baby girl away....
Any advice?????

Well, honestly i'm not a parent yet but I
would also have a problem with my 16 year
old dating someone even 19 years old. What
is wrong with him that he can't date
someone his own age? Plus I think it may
be against the law (not sure about the
laws in your state) but usually you have
to be 17 in order to date someone 18+. I
don't think there is much your going to be
able to do to get them to like him. I also
don't think it has anything to do with
them thinking he is stealing their little
girl away. I think they think you need to
date someone your own age.
