He finally admitted that he has feelings for me, this summer. My parents do not approve and, long story short, we are now forbidden to have any contact with each other at all. I think I'm in love with him. I miss him and I don't know how to cope. Any advice? :/ Reply to this Question

Im the one that asked this question and i want to thank you for your feedback. It is very much appreciated. I have ways of contacting him, but we are not allowed to and so ive been scared to try. I dont want to get in trouble but, even more importantly, I dont want to get him into any more trouble than he already is. I guess i should inform you that his age is not the only reason why we are not allowed to talk. My mother went through some of our texts and our conversations weren't quite "appropriate". They werent that bad. Just extremely flirty and kinda suggestive. That was the thing that finally caused my parents to put a stop to it all. Now that school has started again, i see him after school because, even though he graduated, he picks up his younger brother. But he stays in his car and my mom is always there right away so i dont have a chance to say anything. But there is a possibility he comes to help with our school orchestra (which i am a member of) If he does, I would be able to talk to him then. I kind of wonder if he even cares enough to try to make this work. :/ I really dont know. I cant go without him in my life at all, though. Im going to try to talk to him when i get a chance. Any suggestions on what i should say? (Sorry this is so long. :P)

But bigger problems come along. I'm 16 and engaged to a wealthy businessman from Austria, Europe. Whom is 30. So bigger problems will definitely occur. So long as your parents are around him for the first few months, everything should be fine.

 I can sooo relate to your situation. I met my boyfriend when i was in my freshmen year(last year)im 15 and hes 18 to. Hes not a senior but a junior, and im not allowed to date yet, but oh well, lol. It sucks tho, because it makes going out on a date soo much harder. I had also posted a thing on here its very similiar to yours but my advice is to do what your heart tells you. It doesnt matter what your parents think, its your feelings, and you should do what makes you happy.
P.S Thats what im doing.

 The joys of being a teenager! Can you still contact him through his cell? If so there is no harm in secretly meeting up with him, it will make your relationship exciting too! 2 years age gap is not a huge issue, im 20 and my partners 32, love is blind! Follow your heart and go for it!
