During the conversation, I tried to explain that it would be nice to have somebody "in the mean time", but no matter what I said, they seemed to think that I wanted something long term, which they are against because they know that if I get into something serious now, that will then make things awkward when I go to university in September.I was trying to hint that it would be nice to have a "girlfriend" to have fun with for a while... You know... Just for the sake of experience and having the company. Not to mention (if things went especially well), sleep with!!! (It's been 8 long months since I last slept with somebody) I couldn't find any way to so much as hint that to them... They're my parents after all.So, I guess my question is this: I have about 7 months until I go to university. I would like a girlfriend in that time, because it seems like such a long time to wait, and to be honest, I've waited LONG ENOUGH to have somebody special in my life. Can I have both? And if so, How do I get it?

of course you can have a girlfriend!!!!
You are young life is about learning, meeting people, experiencong reltionships. Every relationship no matter how it ends, gives us memories, experiences and from all of this we all learn something. That is what makes us who we are.
There is no need to deny yourself from any of these things.
Now you may well meet someone and it remain casual, if so fine, if it gets serious, then fine too. If you have a sensible head on your shoulders, you will balance your personal life and your studies well. Long distance relationships can work.
Now you ask how you can meet someone. get out there, meet your friends, meet their friends, network, get to know everyone, the more people you meet the more people ypou get to know the more chance you have.
And these days the compouter is a great way of making new friends there are hundreds of great dating sites, with some great people on of all ages.
The world is your oyster, get out and enjoy. Show your parents, you can have a life aswell as be sensible by keeping your studies going and your plans for uni on track.
Good luck to you xxxx
