Should I tell my parents about my boyfriend?

I'm seeing a guy and we've hugged and kissed, but my 'rents don't know about it yet...

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!!!!! How can you tell if a boy likes you? I don't think a guy has ever flirted with me, but maybe I'm wrong. This guy I know who is a year older than me always tells me i'm his favorite freshman. (Is he flirting or just joking around? I need to know how can you tell if a guy wants to be just friends or more?

 

Hey Pugglegirl2008, it can be hard to tell when certain guys are flirting, because different boys have different ways in showing their affections. At the same time, a lot of guys are just natural flirts so you have to be careful of them. Some of the typical signs of flirting include complimenting, asking questions, always making eye contact, getting physical, and always talking with you. Does this guy do or say anything else around you? Pay attention and see if you observe anything else. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I let my mom figure out this on her own. But sometimes my sister tells her before i get the chance to. Should I tell my mom as soon as it happens?

I think you should tell your 'rents about your boyfriend. It will be easier for you when your 'rents know. They'll get mad if you hide stuff from them girlie!

So today,
I sawyer crush, I wanted to drop some flirty hints, but I couldn't. I realized I was scared to sent signals to him. I don't want to be rejected, have the whole school know who I like, and feel hurt!!!
Please help!




Hey girl, trust me when I say the whole school isn't going to know who you like or judge you for it. People don't care that much about any other person's love life, despite what TV shows might portray (trust me, I went through middle and high school; they really don't). I think it's perfectly natural for you to be nervous around your crush. For now, don't focus on sending flirty signals to him. Focus on talking to him and getting to know him as a friend. The flirting can come later when you're more comfy with him.

I really like this guy and my friend gave me his number. She doesn't know i like him. We talk a lot. How do I get him to like me?




Hey girl, by being yourself and hinting you like him. However, keep in mind you can't make ANY guy like you. All you can do is hint to him you're interested in him and see how he takes it.

Mod- I have been talking to this guy and tomorrow we are going to hang out(which i guess you cud call a date), anyway I was just wondering if you think a good hang-out date would be to get coffee at the mall? Also, do you have any tips on what to talk about? We knew each other in grade school, but it has been awhile and we have just been talking over text, so I am worried it will be awkward. I don't have much experience talking to guys, so do you know what guys like to talk about? thank u!

 

Hey girlie, you can talk about school, after school activities, sports, music

u dont think that you should tell your parents about what has all appened if they wont let you have a boyfriend? but if they do then you should spill the news!! Also maybe if you are "underage" to have a boyfriend you should just talked to your parents about it and tell them then?(:

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!! okay- so i really like this guy and he told me he likes me and we always talk and stuff and he tells my friend like how much he likes me and hows he's gonna ask me out, but i was with my friend at another friend's house and he was at his friend's house (in the same neighborhood) and instead of texting me saying he was at his friend's house he would text my friend and stuff and i felt weird and excluded. idk does he still like me (he had just been telling my friend how much he liked me, which is the confusing part) i feel like my life is like "hot and cold" by katy perry....anyway thanks in advance

 

 

Hey girly girl! I would definately talk to him about this. Some guys get scared and shy, so I would tell him how you feel. And, invite him out! Smile

Hey chica! Let him know that you like him! That's the only way he will know. By just telling him that, you won't ruin your friendship.

In your opinion, do you think a 12 year old girl is too young to go out with a 15 year old boy? Thanks!




Hey girlie, personally, I think that's a big age gap. But it depends on how comfortable you, him and your parents are with it.

I don't think it is really necessary to tell your parents, as long as you aren't doing anything that they wouldn't approve of if they knew you were dating. If you are really feeling guilty but still don't want them to know about the bf/gf thing, just tell them that you like him, but that's it. That way they know how you feel about him.

---Megan---




Hey girlie, if you're worried about your dad being awkward then start with your mom. Tell her that you think you want to date this boy, but he make sure that he likes you too. If you won't actually have a bf then there's no reason to bring it up yet. Then your mom can talk to your dad about it.

when would you say a girl should start dating? not dating dating, just like dating as hanging out with a guy?
also, when would you say it's time for a girl to fight against her parents to start dating? like around highschool right???
plus, how should I know when to start, when my sister never had a boyfriend, that i have known of?
thanks




Hey girlie, don't start to fight with your parents about it until there's a boy that you want to date. It's the right time to start dating when you and your parents can agree that you're ready.

Dear Mod,
My boyfriend is a really sweet guy, but he has missed the last three times we were supposed to go out. He had to bail again last night and now he's beating himself up because he couldn't go. It wasn't his fault, and yeah I was disappointed, but i'm not mad at him and now he won't let it go.
How do I get him to see that it really isn't that big a deal? He keeps asking how he can make it up to me, but I really don't want him to do anything but move on and he wont.




Hey girlie, just tell him that it's not a big deal. Let him know that you understand and you're okay with it. If he really wants to make it up to you tell him he can take you somewhere special the next time you go out.

Okay I just started a new school this semester. I think this one guy likes me ,but I'm not sure. In the mornings, I sit alone because I dont know anyone and he sits with me and talks to me. We have band together and he asks me if need any help with band stuff. One time I said yes, so he held one end of my drum sticks (I play percussion) and i held the other end and he sort of played for me. During my first few days of band, he was really helpful and explained what we were doing. So does he like me?




Hey girlie. It sounds like he is interested in you--whether as friends or more than friends I'm not sure. But you should be excited! Something new and someone showing that they like you.

ok so idk who to believe my bf or my friend. lets call my bf "d" and im "her". my friend told me that he saw my bf in the school eating breakfast and he went up to him and was like "ur D right?" and D was like "ya" "oh your dating her right?" and D was like "no" and then when my friend told me i was mad at D. so i talked to D this morning and im like "y did u say we arent dating???" hes like "i havent seen "ur friend" in a while so he must have been talking to the other "D"(who ive never met)" and i told my friend that and he was like "i know for a fact it was ur bf" who do i trust.
p.s. when D said it wasnt him he told me he doesnt lie but he used to in elementary but he made a resolution a while ago.




Hey girlie. That's hard. I mean honestly, you will never know the truth. I would say give your bf more time and see if he does anything out of character that would make you second guess his sincerity to you.

Thanks




Hey girlie. Do you think your parents will allow you to date? Talk to them about it. As for his friends, at first it may be a bit awkward, but it will fade, trust me. If anything, go up to them and introduce yourself--be friends with them if they are nice guys. This is exciting! Dance around your room, listen to good music and walk with confidence.  : )

Hey chickadee! The best way to get over a guy is to find a new cutie to flirt with. Keep your eyes open, and maybe ask your friends if they know of any guys that they can introduce you to Smile

I can see why you feel that way. When I first started dating I didnt tell my parents but then my mom found out and then my dad did later. He still has a problem with it but my mom is totally fine with it and I can talk to her about anything.

If you are doing intimate things with your bf more than kissing you can or dont have to tell your mom at first. I think after a while they get the idea that things happen so if you wait it may be better but I would tell her you are least dating.

MOD MOD MOD This fall I met a really cute guy in a play I was doing. He's definetely one of or *the* nicest guy I've ever met, and we both flirted a lot with one another, texting and in person. Then, he asked out one of my best friends. I'm still obviously really bummed about that even though they've been dating for 2 months now. The thing is, my friend has only met him in person once, for about a minute, the night of the play, and they haven't even gone on a date. Also, my bff can't seem to get the balance of talking about him. She either talks about him too much, or doesnt talk about him at all in front of me and then tells everyone else. Lately, she's saying "I hate my life, I'm so unlucky" and I dont know how to explain to her that she's lucky without getting either of us reallly mad. (She's sensitive.) PLEASE help and thank you SO much!

 

Hey girl! It's never fun when your crush asks out your best friend, I think this has happened to all of us before! You should always remember that losing a friendship over a guy is never worth it! I am sure that you and your friend will have plenty more crushes in the future! For now, you should sit down with your friend and tell her not to feel upset because she really is lucky! She is especially lucky to have a friend like you! However, if she still seems upset you should speak to a guidance counselor or a parent that can help you! Goodluck! XOXO

You should tell your parents. However, I have this one friend who keeps her bf a secret from her parents. When they first went out in the beginning of their freshmen yr, she told her parents and they freaked out and made them break up. Since they've known each other for a long time and really like each other a lot, they decided not to break up and keep on dating secretly. They're now seniors(still together) and her parents have NO idea that their relationship is still going on.

Soo, my parents treat me like I'm 10 still. I have a boyfriend and I'd really like to hang out with him a lot more but I'm too afraid to tell my parents about him. He's told his parents and they're cool with it. I'd hide it if I could, but my mom would call his parents to make sure it would be OK for us to hang out. I'd be scared if Henry's parents brought up us going out. Then I'd be in VERY deep shit. I'm not sure how to approach telling my mom about him. Any advice? Anything is appreciated. Smile

MOD!!!pls!!
My BGF and I are really close, we talk all the time, although he is in only one of my classes, woodshop! Anyway, I have started to like him as more than a friend, and I think he feels the same way about me (we sit together, he helps me w/ my project...), but he nor I have ever dated anyone befor, so I have no idea how to tackle this situation! My parents think he is a nice boy, so that is not a problem. I really want to be his GF, is there any hints (maybe not to obvious)that I can drop to let him know I like him??? Any advice you could offer me would be wonderful! Thank you Smile




Well one of the best things to do is ask him who he likes. Obviously hes gonna be a bit secretive about it and prob ask you the same question. One good thing to respond is "im not telling you who..but you know him veryyyyyy well." That will help hint to him that you like him. From there hes gonna be a lot more open in showing that he likes you back and you two can start flirting a lot! Then things should grow from there! Good luck. xoxo kerra

My boyfriend's birthday is on the 25th. I don't know what I should get him. For my birthday, he got me a bag of twizzlers(my favorite candy :3), hacked my locker(well, I told him the combination, and didn't think he'd remember), and put them inside. Also, the night before he asked me out(through text, because we are both equally awkward and shy, and he tried to ask me in person, but he was too nervous). So, I don't know what to get him. He likes reeses, and I might get him some of those, but I also want to get him something he will like. His favorite band(s) are The Who, and Pink Floyd. For Christmas I got him a The Who guitar pick necklace, which he liked. So I am stuck x( please help! Thanks!




I think you should get him his favorite candy and maybe a who or pink floyd shirt. Im sure he'll love  it! Good luck! xoxo kerra

Hey girl, dont even worry about it so much. Just try and have a good time, that's all that's important. So what if you cant go 100mph an hour around the rink, that's not the point. They're there to have fun with you. Ill tell you one thing, I play hockey, and I definitely can't go that fast or do all too many tricks. haha! =]

So this guy i liked asked me out, and i told my mom but said i didnt really wanna be in all the drama, so i asked her to say i wasnt allowed to date so i could have an excuse. i told him that i wasnt allowed to, but i guess we still are?? and so hes been hugging me and stuff but we did that before but then he wanted to hold my hand and now i feel bad about not telling my mom but i really dont want "the talk" wat do i do? tell my mom or say to the guy i just wanna be friends? hes really sensitive




Hey girlie. Do you like him as more than friends or not? If so, then talk to your mom and if not, tell him that you think you are better as friends. It's better to tell him now than lead him to.

So, I go a small school, where everyone knows everyone. I am in seventh grade. There is this guy in tenth. We have been talking. And I told my friends (that we were talking) and I told my mom. Now my parents are freaked out because they think I am dating him. Now, I have a feeling they are going to be very strict with who I date. There is this guy in my grade, and he has a huge crush on me. I don't think I really like him. My parents think I should date him, along with everyone in my grade. I just want to date who I want. What should I dooooo? Thanks! Smile
