Dear NicKeRs,
This is a rough situation, especially for a girl.
From a parent's standpoint, what they want is totally understandable.
They don't want their little girl being taken advantage of by an
older guy since older guys have that wonderful reputation that plagues
all men.
Your parents want you to be careful and not to get involved in
something that you just dived into. They might think that you are
too immature to know love, especially with an older guy.
Talk to Your Parents or Date Him Secretly
My advice for you is to either talk to them seriously about your
feelings towards him OR date him secretly. If you choose to do the
former, which might be the most hopeful option, you must be sincere
and sound like a woman, not a teenager. You have to prove that you
are mature enough to handle a relationship like that.
Invite Him Over
To parents, their little girl dating is a big deal, but it is magnified
if the guy is significantly older or "bad news" in their
eyes. Maybe try to invite him over more and give them the sense
that the two of you are really good friends and that he truly is
a great guy and would never take advantage of you.
You May Have Other Conflicts Besides Her Parents
I think it's great that the two of you feel so good when you are
together, but keep in mind that age does make a difference sometimes;
especially when you are young and still maturing and experiencing
new things. A guy at 20 has experienced a lot more than a girl at
15. Even if you get past the parental barrier, you still might have
conflicts in your relationship just because you are each experiencing
different things and have different priorities at this point in
your lives.
