HELP....boyfriends....how old is too old.

I definatly do not think it's a lost cause!
but don't mention the word 'love' to your parents to soon, cause thats a sscary thing for parents and they never believe it!
BUt i think a nice calm talk with your closer parent or both would be good and listen to what they have to say but definatly explain yourself. this will hep your parents to understand how strong you feel for him and it's be wrong to keep you from him.
but i definatly think 18 is ont to old, it's like not even a 3 year diference is it?!?!
but maybe it'd help for your parents to kno the guy, since he's a nice guy (sounds like) maybe it'll be easier to approve knowing he's a nice guy.
also, it might help if you ask your parents thier fears about you having an older boyfriend and explain to them they don't have to worry about it and give examples and everything.
i hope this heps!

hey....

To your post... yes, I can understand where your parents are coming from; and yes, they are CONCERNED.... but, I think they should set limits, and atleast, let you try to date him, since in reality, you will have to face society, in general, when you get older. As long as they know where, when, etc, you're at, it shouldn't be a problem. The only reason they'd need to know where, when, etc... so, they know you are safe at ALL times! Parents do worry, more than you think, it's very hard being a parent, and if they didn't worry, they wouldn't care what you did.... My Dad let me date a 25 year old, and I'm 17, but for my safety, at all times, I knew he needed to know when, where, etc... And, I thanked him for letting me date him, tho, it didn't work out the greatest... maybe it will work out for you... good luck!!!

I'd write him a letter or let him know about what's going on atleast... make sure you ask your parents first... Then, maybe he can re-consider, when you are 18... if he still loves you? If he does, then it means, he is a true lover and loved you ONLY to begin with.... I'd really talk to your parents or maybe even a school counselor about it or your feelings, it may help... Hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Michelle

if he really loves u, he'll come back and try to get u watever it takes..or if u have to be 18 to be allowed, he'll wait. if i were u i would do watever is possible to be with him if i'm really in love..and try to convince my parents

if you are worried about being to young for your bf your not. if your 16 and hes 18 then there really isnt anything to worry about.

there is nothing that your parents could do.. it is not illegal for ya'll to be together.... i had to deal with the same exact problems before... as far as trying to convince ur parents...it would be worth a shot.. if he really cares for you and you feel the same for him then it is worth fighting for..but if your unsure about ur feelings than you may want to consider it... but if it is true love than go for it... nothing can stop you if u put ur mind to it.

To tell you the truth, You are old enough to have a boyfriend and You have enough rights to do what u want. think about it, U only have one life, your parents were in love too, they enjoyed their lives when they were young, point the fact to them... you only have one life, and if you think this persons right 4 u, then go for it
by the way, i'm only 13 so, i know it's knda weird, coz i'm goin out with a 16 year old 2...
I know how it feels

Oh goodness relax

I was about your age when I came home to tell my parents I was seeing a 30yr old, and that I was pregnant. We have a beautiful son and have been together ever since...going on 6 - 7 yrs now ;o)

Love doesn't know how to count and age is but a number my friend :o)

I think you answered your own question. You said 'we were really in love'. Now...if it really was love, then you should do everything in your power to stay with him. You miss him, just show your parents how lost you are without him...and if they don't understand...run away lol
