hahaha, I signed up on Soompi just so I could make posts like this. tongue.gif

anyway, my boyfriend and I have been going out for almost an entire year as of now.
he's amazing in every way I can think of!
he's sweet and hilarious and loves to cuddle.
he tells me he loves me every day and calls me cute stuff like "honey bunny".
he's also everything I ever dreamed of in a guy.
I don't know what I'd do without him.

but being Asian and 15 years old, of course my parents are strict about dating.
I think I've gone to his house to hang out a total of 3 times since we started dating last November,
and he's been to my house a similar number of times.
I can count the number of times I've seen him after school on my fingers.
I try to tell them that nothing will happen, but they don't believe me.
they yell at me for holding hands with him and stuff like that.
of course they won't let us be alone.
they don't trust me at all for some reason.

luckily for us we're both in marching band, so we've been able to see each other a lot.
however, since he's a senior and I'm a junior, he's going to be graduating this year while I'm still in school.
he plans on going to a college about 100 miles away, maybe an hour and a half from my house.
I don't know how I'm going to be able to see him once he graduates,
and despite promising him I'll go see him I don't think I'll be able to because of my strict parents.
I'm really scared that because of this I'm going to lose him.

so what should I do?
I need to think of some harmless things we can do together so we can hang out while we still can,
and somehow, I need to convince my parents to let me see him.

help?

Did he ever try to hang out with your parents so they can get to know him? I dated my boyfriend when I was 15, and my parents didn't let me date at that time also. Anyways, so I didn't tell them about it, and just introduced him as a friend (Though they know that we were together). He would come over and chill, help them with their stuff, and eventually... my parents grew to love him as if he were their own child. So yeah, we've been together for 4 years now and he's extremely comfortable with my family. We went on a family vacation a few months ago, and he would come over and chill with them all the time.

Most parents don't let their daughter/son date because they don't have a chance to get to know the boyfriend/girlfriend. I'm sure if you take the initiative to introduce them, and let them know that he's a good guy, they would be more welcome to the idea. (I'm not promising anything).

Oh yeah, I suggest giving them his phone number, that way, they can feel safe when you're out with him.

True. I have a friend who's been with his girlfriend for like 5 years and they're still keeping it on the downlow from their parents. Honestly, I think they have one of the most solid relationships I have seen in my high school years. So not all hope is gone smile.gif Let this be your inspiration!
