Can you be "best friends," instead of girlfriend/boyfriend?  Respect his parents on this one & wait till he's 16 to officially date.  By then you'll know each other a little better & a lot can happen in over a thousand days.

Well, I'm 35 and my boyfriend is 23....so go for it! You're both adults. If you both consent, to hell with what anyone else thinks. I met my boyfriend two years ago and my mother just hates it!! But, she has to endure because we're about to have a child together (any day now). I'm not ashamed to admit that I initially pursued him because he was hot! I don't regret any of it either. \n\nA word of advice though: the age difference will crop up, no matter how hard you try to ignore it. I'm not just talking about what other people will say. It will crop up between the two of you. There are just some things you can't change and the big one is that you have way more life experience than he does, no matter how mature he may be. How each of you handles these moments will determine whether or not a relationship will work....along with all the other relating factors. Age difference doesn't have to be an obstacle if handled with care. I've had to remind myself on many occasions that I used to be his age and I used to think or act as he does. I can't change him...he's going to things his way...after all that's how we all learn.\nThe very fact that he reminds me of myself at that age is one of the reasons I love being around him. It makes me feel understood and not so alone in the world. I never had that with any other man.

i was in that same situation he was the world to me but you have to be able to decide if you love him or if you with him just because hes older and can make you experiance  thing that you havent felt befor and the more people tell you you shouldnt be with him the more that you want to be with him for the thril its more exciting doing something you know your not supposed to be doing. take care of your self and respect youself and your parents and talk to them to see if you can come up with an agreement best of luck to you .

Yeah they are right..... You should really talk to your parents first or if you feel uncomfortable talk to your siblings and friends at least you would be considering their feelings....... But do you really love your boyfriend that much? Are you really sure that you two are going to live happily ever after like in the fairy tales? DO NOT ruin your life... Guys come and go but families are forever.

Sounds like the typical Romeo and Juliet story. You are 17, and if you are love this man and you and him talk about having a future together, make it known to your parents. They dont have to like him, but they really should accept him and your decision to be with him. Is he a bad boy or something? Does he get you to do bad things? You are almost 18, which means you will be considered independent and can always move out of their house. Just keep in mind that they are your parents and you should always respect them and love them no matter what happens with your boyfriend. DO NOT give up having a relationship w/your parents however for this boy if it comes to it. Trust me, you will realize that will be the biggest mistake of your life! Good luck!\n\n-EA

tell him that your parents don't want you dating until you are (whatever age or amount of time until you are able to) and be sure to say that you like him as more than a friend. he will probably understand that and probably become a very close friend while he waits

My personal opinion is that the age difference is not as important as the fact that you are not 18 yet.  I would wait just two more years... you will be 18 and he will be 27.  It is technically against the law in most places for that age difference when you are a minor.  Again, the age difference is not the biggest deal here, the fact that 16 makes you a legal minor.  I date much older guys too... but I waited till I was 18 and a legal adult.

Sometimes it's a good idea to let your Boyfriend meet your parents before you actually go on a date with them (just to assure them that you'll be fine with him)\n\nNext, make sure you tell her about what you guys did, it'll help your parents trust you more if they know what you've done in the past and will be a little better at not holding you back.\n\nNext, don't date people your parent's wouldn't approve of.\n\nAnd if it all fails and your parents don't approve of your date, have your date come over to your house and hang out for a while under your parent's supervision. Most parent's would rather you be under their supervision rather than out there with another guy.

I'm 19 now.. and I remember being both 13 and 16 very, very well, and what boys were like then, and I honestly have to say that at your age, that age difference is too much.  A lot of people say that that's too young to experience real love.  I don't agree with that, but at that age, it's definitely more of a selfish love, and it's not really healthy for long term relationships.  You're looking for something to fulfill yourself, not something to benefit the other person, whether you realize it or not, and once you start a relationship with those kinda wants and habits, it's really hard to break them.  And if you really love her, asking her to disobey her parents is in no way showing her love.  You guys will probably not end up getting married, but her parents will be her parents forever, and it's important that they have a good relationship.  And besides, even if you do end up getting married one day, you'll have your whole lives together, and waiting a couple years till her parents are okay with it is not gonna matter in the long run.  I understand how much this hurts, but try to think with your head and not your heart and you'll see the right thing to do.

You're the person that is going to be in the relationship, NOT you're parents.  Plus, emphasizing outward appearance is not something parents should teach their children.\n\nIf he's a great person and has a great personality, that goes WAY further than his looks.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and if you think he's a beautiful person, who cares what he looks like.\n\nI say go for it and if your parents hassle you, just say that you're not dating him for looks, but for the person he is, the way he treats you and the way he makes you feel.\n\nGood luck

He is much to young for you, physically but mostly emotionally.  There is a vast difference of experiences and it is very unlikely that this relationship would work own.  Don't hurt yourself and your parents by making the wrong choice, as much as your heart is leading you astray right now. Good luck.

First, if you love him I don't see how you could even care about his looks at all. Second, if this is the sole reason that your parents won't let you see him ,it sounds rather shallow.\n\nIf you love him, explain the situation with your parents & then remain friends. Once you are 18, there is nothing your parents can do about it, so long as you live on your own. Granted, the full legal age is 21 but, if you are, let's say, away at college, how can they tell you whom you can & can not see?\n\nIn truth, how you handle this entire thing is up to you & your true devotion to this guy. If you've known him for nine years you can't be too young so I'm thinking it will just be a matter of time before you can be together.\n\nGood luck!

Yes\n\n\n\nby the way it is illegal for an 18 year old to "be with" a 15 year old in a relationship....you really should find someone your own age.

hmmm, I would wait to get married. Doesn't mean you still can't date this guy. beside I'll bet anything your parents would never let you get married at this age. You are really young still, so whats the rush? If your still together in like 5 or 6 years, props to you and I wish you the best.\n\nIf it helps you any, I met my fiance when I was 14, and I knew in a year that we had a great relationship. BUT, I'm 18 now, and we're only just engaged after nearly 4 years together (July 27th <3). I'm in no hurry to marry, becuase the piece of paper doesn't change how we feel. And I want a nice wedding, and I still have a lot of saving to do! ~.^ good luck!

I don't think so. In my opionion, i dont think that you should, and if you do i think your parents will think they have some sense of control over you.. Listen honey, i hvae been there and done this.... and I am telling you your HAPPINESS should come before anyones... I mean in the long run, you have to make yourself and partner Happy not your parents
