OtherSide Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Ok, so I've been going out with this wonderful girl recently. However, I haven't told my parents about her. I'm worried because my parents have an old (outdated) belief of how old I have to be to date. I'm not about to wait for college! So do you think it's necessary to tell them now? How should I do it? Thanks
Lucky_One Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Well how old ARE you, and how old is your GF? Hiding things from your parents is really never a good idea. If anything, it reinforces to them that you AREN'T grown-up enough for a mature relationship. Being able to go to them acting like a rational adult and saying "I have met a great girl, and I want you to know that we have seen each other a few times, and I really like her" is a whole lot better than trying to sneak and hide as though you are doing something you are ashamed of.
