Question - (20 October 2010) 5 Answers - (Newest, 21 October 2010)

Help!

So I like this guy, a lot. He and I were unofficial for a month when a week ago he asked me to be his girlfriend, but there is one complication.

His parents don't want him to have a girlfriend, and in turn they found out we were a couple, and are doing everything in their power to prevent us from talking and seeing each other. Well he and I work together, and he's been my best friend for 5 months now, and we keep it professional at work and all. But that's the only time I can see him until next year when he turns 18. I am crazy about him and don't want to lose him which I know I wont, but I want his parents to like me. They keep saying I'm not good enough and they dont even know me, they havent met me, all they know is from my facebook page which my friend changed stuff on me as a joke, I'm not a flirt, I really care for this guy, and I'm not a slut either like they're saying I am.

What can I do to help them like me more?

suitcase agony auntthat's how parents act,,they don't remember they passed this age too,,when they become older this happens,,so best answer is patience,,you look like you are have a good sense of patience,,,so i'll pray for you,,,try to organize a PARENTS MEETING,,they'll stay rude for some time,,but it'll be over soon,,,,,time solves every problem,that doesn't mean you gotta just wait,,,try different things like sending cards for his parents,,,,it'll work,,,;)

Kat_M_2011 agony auntWell see I've tried asking to meet them, but they're like psychotic in how they're trying to keep us apart like they took away his facebook, keep taking away his emails (He's had 5 so far since we've been dating), and hardly let us hang out at all. So we have a slow relationship as it is, which is what I like and all, I'm old fashioned at heart. I just hope when he turns 18, they'll lay off us, but that's not til next year, but I know I can wait a year, I just hate how they dislike me and they have never met me before. How do you get around that one?

[?]BitterSweetFinale;[?] agony auntTell your boyfriend to let you visit his parents, prove them wrong. That your friends changed you status, and such on your Facebook page, and that isn't true at all. I'm sure you will change their minds, and if not than don't give up, there is still hope. You'll both be legal enough to do whatever you please soon, and they can't tell you what you can or cannot do. But meet them; and give them a good impression, and that you're not a slut like they think. Trust me they'll like you if they know you and your boyfriend have a healthy, steady relationship. Hardly any hardships, and that you wont ever in your mind try to hurt him. Hopefully that helps, and puts a closure to this situation, xoxo. Let me know how things work out. (:
