Cindy303 agony auntBreaking the news to your parents that your seeing somebody when you think their reaction may be negative is so hard to do. If you both are mature enough to start dating then show your parents you are able to do this without blowing exams and by being responsible. I think your both doing it right, taking it slow at first and that shows how mature you both are. What a great age to be to start your first relationship. Best Wishes and good luck.

i think he should tell her straight dont hover around the situation it's the best way make sure he tells her they are really serious about each other he do thing like invite her round for tea take her out places but do extra revision and make sure his mum see's him doing this so that way his mum should realise that they are serious but he is still going to try hard at his exams.

Oh flippin heck. This question reminds me how glad I am that I don't live at home any more. I had the exact same awkwardness with my parents over this kind of thing.

The way I would suggest is to just be at his house as his "friend" and do lots of studying together. Let her see how well you are both working together and let her see your relationship blossom into romance. Hug eachother goodbye etc. She isn't blind, she will see how he looks at you, so you just need to be wonderful and study hard and offer to help with the washing up so she can see what a lovely young lady you are!

It will be quite exciting pretending to be friends and stealing moments together when she's not watching.

If she accepts you and you work up to being a "girlfriend" it will be a lot better than if he sits her down and makes you a formal announcement.

Good Luck! xx
