Alright, I really shouldn't be doing this so I'll keep it to a minimum. Me and my girlfriend are having some trouble because we have actually liked each other a lot for the last month or so. I mean, we both really alike and think the same and I can't believe someone as kind and good looking as her would fall for someone as average as me. We both feel the same towards each other and we would surely be going out and dating and such if it weren't for the rule that her parents have enforced that is strictly no dating. We're both 16 and she doesn't want to see me waiting on her because she can't date. The truth is I really like her and don't want to simply let go of her because she can't go out on dates, I know this all might seem like a "go behind their back sitch" but we're not going to do that. Do you guys have any experiences with this or know any possible reason around it? Please if you're here for stupidity I will generally ignore you.
You mean her parents prohibited their teenage daughter any real contact with the opposite sex? Haha! Good luck with that! Seriously though, when will people learn that a pack of condoms is better protection than any prohibition.
She can have fun with guy friends and stuff, but she just can't have relationships that involve like going to the movies alone and the general "date" stuff.
Well if she means a lot to you, i guess the wait will be worth it... Could you wait a few years to start dating?
Well If you ask me, her parents are a bunch of walking fail and you should ABSOLUTELY ignore them and keep going with the relationship in secrecy. It's either that or doing what her parents say, which imo is not an option. This is the kind of time where you gotta think like a MAN. I mean, imagine if the same thing happened but both of you guys were.. 28. What would you do then? well, do the same now. Age is measured by the maturity of your decisions and not by your body.
I told her I would be willing to ask her parents or do anything, she thought it's a funny idea but I am pretty sure she knows it'll fail. I'll either wait it out or pray for a different decision or tactic on the original plan. I will still be very good friends with her no matter how long it takes, if i feel the same then, i'll check to see what is happening with the whole thing. Maelstorm: I don't think if we done it in secret there'd be any future for it. Plus, she is still a teenager, she is the one deciding whether or not her parent's decision is worth it too.
She would date me if she was allowed, I'm just saying she's the one who calls the shots and I just suggest any option if i can at all.
No. Ignore this unless you wanna get bumf***'d by parents, law enforcement officials. They're her parents. She's 16. The parental units have the final say. Try talking to them.
Do they really? He's 16 as well. It's not like we're talking about some guy in his 20's lusting for a 16 year old. Parents possibly. Law enforcement? No. Either way you should find out who her parents really are. If they are over-protective religious zealots then no, don't bother but perhaps they are just someone who took their parental duties a little too seriously and did not realise it. That's the best advice you're going to hear.
I don't mean to play a cynic, but with the way the police are in America, it's entirely possible. /agree with second paragraph.
A guy had sex with his girlfriend. He was 17. She was 15. The law found out. They labeled him a sex offender. He is now 38, and can't play basketball in his driveway, because it is within 500 yards of an elementary school. A 15 year old girl had a picture of her boyfriend naked on her phone. The law found out. They labeled her a sex offender. I'm not saying Sin is going to have sex with her, and since both of these situations are American, I'm sure it's not very helpful. But in reality, the law can and will screw you over for young love.
If you turn it to poll I'll completely revert your pole into a thread. I'm not thinking of doing anything towards those matters guys... Serious?
