Question - (29 July 2008) 3 Answers - (Newest, 29 July 2008)
A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

ok so there is a girl i like, i am 19 and a sophmore in college, she is 17 and a junior in high school. The trouble is the gap between our school grades is alot larger than our ages, but were afraid that wont matter with her parents. We want to date so badly right now, but we dont think it will work out, because she believes her dad would go ballistic if he knew she was talking to a college guy (her parents are divorced. So we are wondering how we should approach her parents about us possibly having a relationship so that they would let us do it?

I am a pretty responsible guy, who doesnt fit the stereotype of a college guy who is "only after one thing" so I could try to prove this to them. I also suggested that my parents meet her parents, although she doesnt think this is a good idea. Any ideas are welcome

Glass agony aunthaha

you're just like my boyfriend.

he is 17 and i am only 15..

our first date,he met with my father firsst!!

so imagine how he feels..but in the end he holds my family's trust;)

well..you can jst meet her parents(dont bring your parents yet),have time to talk to them so they'll trust you...her mom definitely would love to meet who the daughter loves and you're lucky that you're now 19..

your future with her is bright..

unlike mine..life is still a long journey..

but NEVER forget your manners and the way you dress up..;D

that's very important!

goodluck...always win the mother's heart.

muffy agony auntHi hunny.Okay,teh fatc that your in college and she's in high-school shouldn't matter.AGE is more important.You two are only 2 years apart which is perfect.Since your in college and she's in High-school maybe you could actually be a help,you know,with grades and all.Just show her parents how responsible you are.Ask to take her on a date and if they say yes,then bring her back at the time they say.Earning their trust is helful too.

Hope I helped

Love always,

Muffy

P.S.-If you have any other questions just ask me3

well since the age gap is not too drastic its still leagal. Maybe you should hangout sround her house or houses rather (in a group of friends) so that her parents can get famillar with her. You could also stretch the truth slightly and sayyou are realted to one of her friends that her parents trust or someone else they know.

And the final option i can think of is just to go out any ways. She is almost 18 (at least with in a year of it) and then her parents cant stop her then.
