Subject: How do I tell my parents about my girlfriend?

I am 16 years old, the youngest of three boys. I never got into dating and whatnot, and I never really expressed any interest in girls, mainly because I found it awkward to talk about that to my parents and brothers. There were times when I would even get mad when they asked about it and whatnot.

I dug myself into such a deep hole, and I feel like it's impossible for me to get out.

Recently, me and a girl I know have started dating, I guess you could say. Last night while I was at her house, my dad called me asking me where I was, and I lied and said that I was at a (male) friend's house.

I'm too afraid to tell them about her, because they've never known me as that type to date girls. I feel like it'll be awkward for both me and them. I need to tell them soon, because she is starting to get mad that I'm keeping her a secret from them. I've just always been that innocent youngest child.

Does anyone have any advice?

Congratulations. You're literate!

Just tell them that you and this girl have spent some time together and that feelings have developed between you two. They're not going to be mad at you or anything.

  • 12.23.2012 12:13 PM PDT

Tell them. Duh.

No. They don't think I'm interested in dating anyone.

Change your phone wallpaper to a picture of a muscular man and purposely let your parents see it so they think you're -blam!-.

When they bring it up, just say, "Of course not, I have a girlfriend!" Should they be homophobic this will be a big relief to them and you're done.







Or you could just, like, tell them.

  • 12.23.2012 12:15 PM PDT

Tell em you got her pregnant so you are stuck with her. They'll understand.

I saw this topic and thought "Please let this be a joke." But it wasn't a joke, and now I have lost even more faith in humanity and the current generation of teenagers.

Unless your parents have said that they don't want you dating or something like that, I don't see how telling them could end badly. If anything they'll probably be proud, or at least they'll be happy to hear that you're happy being with her. Just tell them you like this girl and decided to try things out with her. They're going to find out eventually, dude. They're eventually going to find out anyway, and I don't know about your parents, but if I hid my girlfriend from mine they might be kinda upset.

But then again, I don't know your parents, so if you think it's better not to tell them then trust your instinct I suppose.

"Life is constantly fleeting from your grasp even from the very day it's bestowed upon you, but the shadow of death is always there, waiting for its chance to take you away."

"Even though many may not think so, ignorance and innocence are one and the same. The only difference is that one sounds nicer."

"I once knew a man who spent his entire life contemplating where we go after our death....it's a shame he realized it a second too late to tell anyone."

Just tell them and quit being a little b*tch about it. You're 16, that's a fine age to start dating.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

If I started dating and had a GF, I would tell my folks. If they don't like her, that's their -blam!- problem!

I'm a stubborn guy. I love to argue my opinion, but unlike others, I'll try to see your side of the problem. I'm a triathlete, with a very heavy empephis on the swimming bit. Also, don't hate on the ~Quinton~ at the end of my posts. Why are you still reading this? #creeper #hashtagcashmoney for hashtaging on Bungie.net

If my -blam!- friend and come out of the closet to his parents, surely you can tell your parents that you're partaking in a very normal phenomena.
