There's this girl who I really like and she really likes me, I'm 17 and she's 14. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but I'm afraid what her parents might say if I took her out. What do I do about her parents??

from my experience and being a dad to a 16 yearold who I have been protective over. I would say firstly ask your girlfriend what she thinks and say that you would like her parents to know that you are taking her out and that you will look after her and respect her.

If her parents are decent people they will love the fact that a young man has asked them if he can take their precious daughter out and it would show you are being repsectfull to them. If however they go off the deep end then at least you tried and you will end up going out with her anyway so its them that are the loosers. Sounds like your a good guy for even thinking about such things so they should see that too. so good luck.

There's nothing you can really do about her parents. 14 is really young and her parents may not even allow her to date yet. If they say she can't go out with you, then you need to respect their wishes. If they're ok with her going out with you, then they would probably want to meet you first, which means you need to be respectful.

Otherwise, their rules probably don't have anything to do with you in particular. If they say no, then that's your answer and you'll have to accept it.

we'll if you're in the south im sure they'll let u take her out but be prepared for confronting her father,brother male figures and yess they may say no. Also keep in mind that maybe she should ask them if she can go out and then get back to you. You're 17 almost 18 she's 14 not even close to that. So don't do anything illegal.

Good luck.

xxmissxx agony auntits tricky, you see, because you dont know whether her parents are protective or laid back, i'd ask her first if she'd go on a date, if she says yes, then maybe you both could approach her parents together. if you're both there in front of them, your kinda putting them on the spot to say yes, but always remember, good manners, a little charm and a nice smile goes a long way!
