Just be open and honest and with them and remember to be patient with them.  Even if they dont agree with you sexuality remember their still your parents and they still love you.  Here's a link to PFLAG's website, you can contact them through that and they're really goat providing support for you and your parents.\nhttp://www.pflag.org/

ask them.  be respectful.  have trust with your parents. and most importantly dont ask to go to something you know for a fact they wont let you.

The easiest way to tell your parents is to simply sit down and ask to have an adult conversation with them. It's best not to sugar coat anything, just keep it real. Tell them you have a boyfriend and it might be nice if you tell them that you would really like them to meet him and get to know him. That way they feel like they are involved in your life. Whatever you do don't put it off any longer because the longer you wait the worse it will be when you tell them.

Tell your parents that you think they should get to know him. \n\nIs he willing to go through some uncomfortable meetings for you?  If he loves you, he should. \n\nOnce your parents realize that he loves you and is good to you and is not going to be a negative influence in your life (gosh, do they think he is some gangbanger or all black people are criminals- come on!) they should work toward accepting him.  Try to find out why they feel this way.  \n\nTry to do this the right way- by being honest with your parents.  I can't imagine what you're going through, and you need to understand that they may NEVER come around.  \n\nGood luck, honey!

As long as its ok with your parents and he seems like a good person, I think you should go with him. He might also help you get to know more people, which will probably be helpful since you're in a new school.

to begin with honey, he doesn't love you. if you're not allowed to have a boyfriend yet, i'm sure your parents have a good reason. they are just trying to protect you from having to make decisions you're not quite ready to make. if you've seen me on here you know i'm gonna tell you to take this time to learn and to grow without complicating things. learn about yourself. learn about others. and as you're ready, learn about life. you've got a lifetime ahead of you. don't rush into things. :)

I'd just hang around and be friends with them and have them be friends with you. You will become confident in the company of guys while still hanging out with your friends. That way, when you find that special guy, you will be able to speak to him without as many butterflies. Remember, they are probably just as nervous around you at that age.\n\nHave fun and enjoy your youth.

Just talk to them the way you'd talk to a guy you were being friendly with.  Be casual and don't feel intimidated.

there is a reason why your parents don't like him. and ask the 1st guy what he thinks of the 2nd guy. guys are themselves around other guys so maybe the 1st guy knows something about him and if he is friends with you he can be completely honest with you and his feelings won't be hurt. ultimately its your decision.

I don't know how old you are. You didn't say, but, you need to talk to your dad and if he doesn't want you to "date", then you need to do as he says, but, you talk about church. Talk to your dad about being able to do things as a church group(functions)with the boy you like. Or going for burgers with other friends included. See what he says

Tell him your parents told you to break up with him. And you really don't want to, but it's what you have to do. Ask him if you can still be friends with him.

show them that he is a good person and how well he treats you, thats really all you can do, maybe if they see those sides to him they will lessen up on the issue alittle bit and not judge him by the color of his skin, but by his character and as an individual, if not then remember that you will always love your parents and will want them to accept whatever life choices you make, but they wont always like what you choose and it is afterall your life and you and you alone have to account for your own happiness....*good luck*

If you are over 18 you can do as you please. However, your parents will be very upset and may disown you. Let them meet him and his family. Maybe they will arrange a marriage with him for you.
