im telling you your not in love but so what all you wat to do is have fun and i think you mature enough to have a boyfriend are you 13 your like me i had my first boyfriend at 12 but its not proper love its just holding hands a pecks tell your dad that you know he loves you and wants you to be his baby but your growing up and you need to make your own decisions especially in relationships so you dont make big mistakes later in life,

OK I know you already got some answers so let me just add my 2 cents

1) Wait a little. Find out if he likes you as much as you like him before asking your dad

2) Introduce him to your parents as a friend and have him over for dinner or lunch or whatever at least once a week.

3) Tell your mom first that you have been crushing on him and are confused and something to that tune

4) If your mom supports you then tell her you want to ask your dad if you guys can date and if she agrees then ask ur dad in front of your mom in simple english. Your mom should support you

And have fun but dont do anything dangerous like sex or anything because you are still quite young.

tayalouise agony auntI know it must be hard when all your friends are allowed, but having a boyfriend isn't the end of the world.

You can still hang out with this boy, and have fun together without your Dad getting angry and maybe eventually he'll come around when you've shown your Dad that you won't be stupid.

Your Dad is only saying this to protect you because he doesn't want you to get hurt.

Boredatwork agony auntYour probably not going to like me sayign this, but at 12-14 its really really unlikly that you are in love :) this is probably just your first crush and you are getting the feelings confused, it happens to all of us at a young age though, (and even some as they get older).

You shouldnt feel rushed into jumping into a relationship, just because your friends are, make sure its the right time for you and dont do it just to be like everyone else.

If you really like this boy, stay as you are now (close to him) and things will take there natural course, if you are ment to be together it will happen, just be paitent :).

Your dad would have said no, because you are his baby girl, and probably dosnt want you to grow up, he also knows what us boys are like, afterall he was one himself once and dosnt want you to feel preshured into anything by this lad etc...

It should however be your decision at the end of the day, just be careful, and dont take things to quickly, as i said before if its meant to happen it will :)

Goot luck :)

I'm with your dad on this one. You are very young, at your age you should be focused on freinds and studies. Relationships bring a lot of hassle, you got the rest of your life to have relationships
