how to ask your family if you could date -
September 28th 2011, 10:11 PM
I just want to start off by saying I have a VERY protective family. VERY VERY VERY!!!! PROTECTIVE!!!!
So obviously I have dated before. I've had 2 boyfriends and I have gone on quite a few dates before. But my family is absolutely clueless about my life and they don't really know what goes on. So I want to know how to ask them if I can date. I'm getting tired of sneaking around and being worried that they are gonna read my texts or something. I'm talking with this guy now (he's a few months older so he's in a different school) and I really want things to work out. But they aren't going to work out if I'm not allowed to leave the freakin house!!!!!! And I know a lot of people are going to say, "just ask them the worst that could happen is they say no." That's not the worst that could happen. I'm very......different then my family. They like to talk about me cause...well....I'm different. And I know if I ask one person they're gonna tell someone else, then they're gonna tell someone else, and so on until everyone in my family knows. So anyway I just want to know how I could ask without it being totally awkward and weird. |

Asking for you to date isn't going to be easy. Especially if your parents are protective. BUT, just come out and tell them. Ask them during dinner so they don't have a chance to talk about you behind your back to any other family members. The worst thing they really can say, in terms of dating, is no. However, just prove to them that you're ready.

Hi Erin. You look cute.
If it were me in your position, I would tell my parents that I would like to have someone my age to spend my free time with. (Since you're tired of being around them.) It's just that simple. If it doesn't work or if you don't think it will work then you're going to have to play CIA girl for a while. |

I just asked my parents what age they would let me date. I mean if they say the age you are then that's a yes, and then wait a week or two and say, hey here's this guy who asked me out...
