Question - (4 September 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 8 September 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hey everyone,

well this is a straight forward question. My bf and i are in love, there's no other way of saying it. Though we have not yet met each others parents. But I have told my mum and dad that he is 16 but he's really 19. I am nearly 16 though. He doesn't pressure me in to anything and he is still a virgin like me. We are perfect for each other.

So my question is how do i tell my parents? What do I say? It will be easier to tell my mum than my dad. I am 16 at the end of December so should we wait until then to tell them? If we did wait until I was 16 then he wouldn't be able to meet them until like 5 months into our relationship.

Please I need as much help and advice as I can get!!!

it depends on your parents really, if you think they will ban you from seeing him then dont tell them just yet, wait til your 16 and legally independant from your parents, trust me.

You seem very mature but these things are really personal, I could say yes tell them to one family and then no to another since everyones family has different opinions and views on age gaps, its what you think is best for you. Maybe let them meet him a few times before telling them, since youve already told them hes sixteen theyre not going to ask him again.

I hope this helps, I really do, good luck chick xx

kayla20 agony auntI'd wait until your 16 before telling you parents however if you cant hide it I'dd tell your mother that your not sleeping together and you lied to her about his age she'll be angry but she should be able to understand that your being grown up about things but it might help if you tell her that he is a virgin too as she might think his pressuring you into sex.

Blod agony auntHey. I think the best thing would be not to lie. But you've already done that... You should tell them the truth. Maybe waiting til you're 16 would be better but like you said that's a while away. You should probably just be as honest as possible with them. Be sensitive about it coz you don't know how they'll react and make sure you show you're sorry for lying. Just tell them the truth as soon as and show that you're mature about this relationship. Good luck X
