Why wont my BF introduce me to his 'rents?

So my boyfriend is really immature. He will not introduce me to his parents when we have been dating for a year and a half. It really bugs me because he has met my parents yet I cannot meet his. It is like I am not good enough and it makes me fell like I am not that special to him.

 

Hey girl! Let’s get to the bottom of this situation. I totally understand why you feel like you’re not special to him. A year and half is a pretty long time! You two are obviously in a committed, mature relationship. If he doesn’t have strong feelings for you or care about you, he wouldn’t stay in a relationship with you. He should be proud and excited to introduce a great girl like you to his family, so there has to be another reason why he’s reluctant.

 

Think about some reasons why he might not want to. Is he allowed to be dating? Maybe his family is going through some tough times and he doesn’t want you to see that. There are a number of possible reasons he hasn’t mixed you with his family.

 

But instead of constantly wondering, I think you should just sit him down and ask him.  Try not to be confrontational. Simply say, “We’ve been together for a year and half and it would mean a lot to me if I met your family.” If he won’t give you a clear answer, figure out what you both want out of the relationship and if it’s truly worth the effort to be together.

MOD please.
I am 17 and very much in love with my boyfriend of 7 months. But he is leaving for a college 1,000 miles away while I have another year of high school. Do you think it is possible for us to stay together? Or would it be easier to break up?
Thanks so much for your opinion.



Hey babe,

If he's going to be that far away, you can try to go for a long-distance thing but keep in mind that it won't be at all easy.  It's entirely up to you two and how much effort you're willing to put in.  You'd have to video chat and call each other constantly to keep things going well.

So my BF was about to leave for vacation and we hadn't seen each other for a couple of weeks due to summer vacay so he decided to come to my house with out telling me he was coming. My mom got really mad and so did I because he had done the same thing a couple of months before... I've kinda been avoiding him since then. He keeps texting me and acting like nothing is wrong... What should I do?!?!?!

 

Hey girl, don't think of it that way. He was just trying to be sweet! I visit my boyfriend unannounced all the time, to surprise him. He just wanted to surprise you. Next time you talk to him, tell him you'd rather be told if he was coming over just so you're not in the middle of something and that it's better if you just knew. He'll understand.

This coming school year I think I might want to start showering in the morning because then your hair looks clean and shiny through the school day (and I hate going to bed with wet hair!). But I wonder which one is better to do? Part of the reason I want to take showers in the morning is because then I can do my makeup with a fresh and clean face and my hair will be tangle free and easy to do. Which one should I do this school year? P.S. I know this is a kind of stupid question but I'm not sure which one to do!




Hey girl!

It's all about personal preference. I always showered at night because I could never get myself up early enough to shower before school. Plus, I played sports after school so I needed a shower anyway. But for you, it sounds like taking a shower before school would actually be the best option. You listed a ton of pros to showering in the morning and no cons, so I think your decision is made!

MOD MOD MOD,
So this guy that I don't really know and I have been talking for awhile and now he wants to hang out. He is nice and everything but I don't think I like him in that way and I don't know if I am ready, especially because I don't know him that well. What should I say without just saying, I'm not ready to hang out with you? I don't want to seem immature. Thanks




Hey girl! 

There's nothing wrong with not being ready to hang out with him one-on-one. Maybe you should suggest hanging out in a group or going out somewhere public like getting coffee or dinner. At least in those situations other people would be around. Maybe that would help you get more comfortable with the idea and think about if at some point you would like to hang out with him alone.

ok idk if i should shave "down there" or not... i have alot of hair there so it would take alot of work lol. i'm only 13 and i trim it sometimes and i think i just want to keep it trimmed instead of completely shaving it. but idk most people i know think that hair down there is gross, and i'm worried about what guys think of hair down there. overall i am just very confused and idk what to do. i thought i'd just keep trimming it and then when i get into highschool i'll shave it all? idk i need advice!




Hey girlie,

Since you said "I think I just want to keep it trimmed," stick with that for now. This is a personal choice and you can always change your mind! It depends on the person whether they think it's "gross" or not - it's an opinion, just like rap music or Modern Family. Some people will love it, and others won't. Make sense? So you gotta do what is best for YOU, not for anyone else. Trim, shave, or let it go natural. It's totally up to you! <3
