writes:I've been dating my current girlfriend for almost 4 months. The relationship has gone very well so far despite the fact that its strictly long distance. We met online, and since then we've only talked by email and on the site we met. We have connected on many levels and i really feel attracted to her on the inside and out. We have exchanged phone numbers, and my parents have no problem with us talking/texting. But, her parents don't like the idea. She has been really down on this because she feels like she might lose me if we can't take our relationship to the next level. I've told her many times that i won't leave her, but she still worries. Does anyone have advice on how to help make her parents understand? She wants to break the news to them without them knowing that we are in a romantic relationship. She thinks there is a better chance of them going for it if they believe we are just friends. An idea she has thought of is telling them that i could help as a long distance tutor (she has some trouble in different subjects that i could really help her with). But im not sure. So if anyone has an idea of how to make this work, please share. Thanks in advance.

 have you met each other yet??
i think her parents are woorried that as you have not met as yet you do not really know each other not saying your a horrible person but there are many men out there only after one thing.
look at it from there view she is 16 still young so are you they do not know you, i would maybe arrange a meeting with her and her family. i wouldnt lie to them this will just make them not go for this anymore.
be honest with them meet up with her and dont worry x
