Do parents know best when it comes to guys?

  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
My boyfriend and I dated for a while about 4 months ago. We were in love, but then we broke up. He said some things to me and he really hurt me. Now we're back together and I'm so happy. I love him. Only problem? My parents and friends hate him. What should I do?

You’re parents and friends love you no matter what and are likely very invested members of your life. If they don’t like him I am sure they must have a good reason. They love you and just want you to be with someone that they know will treat you special. If he has said hurtful things to you before, it is likely he will do it again. Your friends and family don’t want you to go through the heartache again. Remember, they are not acting this way just to make your life harder; they have a genuine belief that his is not good for you.

 

If you whole-heartedly believe that your boyfriend has changed then you should set up some opportunities for him to prove to your family and friends that he really cares about you. He could have dinner with your family or hang out with you and your friends at the mall. After a whole if they still don’t like him then you should probably break up with him. He doesn’t mesh with your life and everyone else is seeing the bad in him that your love is blinding.

Modmodmodmod!!!!! Ok so just a few months ago I met this amazing guy and a few weeks ago he asked me out and I really liked him and I already know him really well and he is everything that I want. But my mom and dad won't let me date until im 16 and I am almost 14 so they won't let me go on a date but they let me call him my bf but they won't le me go on a date or anywhere with him other than youth group and church which I was going to before. Last week before youth group me him and two other friends went to the gas station across the street and he kissed me. It was just a really small quick one but if our parents found out they would freak. What do I say if they ask? They said I cant do that.

For eighth hour in science we're working on projects with laptops, so we get to sit where ever we want. My bff always sits by me and she always insists her ex sits with us too. But one of her exes friends is my crush and he sits by us too. One time when her ex ditched him he sat by us even though his friend wasn't there. He always talks to me out of class when im by him. Does he like me? How do I flirt with him without being too obvious?

I get nervous around my bf and he noticed it too. He keeps asking me if I am okay and I respond yeah. He is my first bf and I want to be able to talk with him. How can I calm my nerves and get to know him better? (likes, dislikes, etc.) Thanks!

 

hey! Think about how you act around your friends and try channeling that with him. Forget worrying about saying the wrong thing and just focus on being yourself around him. If you show him your personality, he'll be more open with his Smile

So this guy finally made a move on the last day of school. I've been waiting all year, so of course I said yes. Now it's break and I don't have to opportunity to see him everyday. I'm not allowed to text him after 9, which I can deal with. It makes sense. But my mom says that I shouldn't text him at all, that I should call him. And both my parents are wanting to read through my messages and it's not like I'm doing anything bad, it's just that some of it I'd like to keep private, you know? Also, I doubt that I'll ever be able to actually go out with him, even if there was to be parents breathing down our backs the whole time. This is my first relationship, but I want my parents to give me some freedom, and trust me to be smart and make good decisions. How can I get them to do that?

Hey Girl!  


Sometimes letting go is hard for parents so the best thing to do is show them how mature and responsible you are. That could mean doing chores around your house without your parents asking--anything to show them that you are growing up, which should include a bit more freedom. Also if you think something is super unfair (like parents monitoring your date) trying reasoning with them. If you sit them down and let them know how you're feeling they're more likely to listen to you!

So... I haven't had a boyfriend since last July. I think I'm pretty, nice, and outgoing. Why don't any boys like me? The only boys that actually do like me are really creepy (if you know what I mean.) And I would like a nice guy to like me. How do I get a boyfriend? It's been really bringing me down the last few months and I need help.




I am a true believer in the the motto " the best thing comes to those who wait." Stop looking for a boyfriend and the right boy will come into your life unexpectedly! Also you do not need a  boy to make you happy. My mom always tells me life is like ice cream and a boyfriend is like the cheery on top of the ice cream, you do not need the cherry to have amazing ice cream! You sound like a wonderful person and i'm sure there are plenty of  people who love you! Start focusing more on the people around you who love you and the rest will fall into place, i promise! Good Luck! xoxo Kerra
