You tell your parents that you are thinking of breaking up with the girl.

Since lying is ALWAYS the best option.

Total sarcasm if you didn't figure that out.

Well...
If you think about it...what's the point of having a relationship, when it doesn't look like it is a relationship? So you can honestly say that since your relationship is going nowhere?

So you still have the problem?
I think we gave you all the options possible...
The only thing you can do now is wait it out...until college or something?
Or pick an option besides waiting.

Unless there is way to create a Happy Ending for you two?

Well it's not a total lie is it? I mean, you where asking us I you should stay together.
So you shoul say "thanks pickpocket" to which I reply with "your welcome".
Done.

Running away is still out their. Yes? No? No? Ok.....
This sounds a lot like Romeo and Juliet. Don't kill yourself, check for a pulse first ok zak? Just do me that one favor.

Well, I have a relationship issue...just not with my girl. It's with my parents. I have a feeling a huge blowup is right around the corner with them, most likely over my girlfriend. How can I conduct myself in a manner which a) won't get me in massive trouble, b) not have them force me to break up with her, and c) for me to get my way for the most part (I want to see her on Sunday).

I had a relationship problem like this a few years back. I was dating a girl [That was the problem, ha] and she was two years younger than me, which obviously makes me a predator. [Sarcasm]. Point of the story - Our parents hated eachother and pretty much asked us to break up at every opportunity. I tried three things. So advice:

1. When things kicked off and her parents were fighting with my parents and causing conflict with everyone, we decided to fake break up to keep them happy. We'd meet up in secret and stayed together.
Win? No. Couples need alone time. I know this is PG13 site and i guess it depends on your age but mainly if your sexually active. It's not nice to have to be intimate in a hidden but public place. The sexiness of sneaking around and taking risks wears off fairly quick when all you want to do is curl up in bed and have a cuddle. I don't recommend this - it can lead to fights between you and your girl and fights when your parents find out. And they will.

2. We split up. Temporarily of course but i didn't know it was temporary at the time, and this pretty much sucked. Sure, our parents were happy but we weren't. It's our relationship - our happiness should be priority. I think it's differe sure if you're dating like a heroin addict, but if it's a petty hate for a petty reason, your parents shouldn't have control.

3. We ignored our parents. We got back together and hung out. Sometimes this would cause arguments sure, but i think it takes being mature and showing both parents that yous care enough about eachother to make it work despite their feelings. I don't mean throw it in their face but if you sit them down, explain things rationally, then what can they do? Sure, you'll have your restrictions, but i think the more you talk about it and show your happiness with this girl, the more they'll kind of accept it. It's a working progress - parents are overprotective and slightly controlling but remember ! In their heads, they're doing what they think is right because they care about you. There's no point in lying or pushing your relationship with your parents to straining point. Just chill, go with it, talk to them and see what's up.

[Side note: Me and her ended up staying together for four years, so it aint so bad]

Also, another factor might be that I'm the oldest child. AKA the Guinea pig

I know how you feel. I'm the oldest too. -.-

Anyways, the only advice everyone's giving you is to wait it out..everyone except Pickpocket...
He's still trying to tell you to go save the princess who is in the castle guarded by a turtle-like species that are called Koopas. He's the King of them! You can't stop giving up! You gotta keep saving her even when you know He Who Must Not Be Named, you know the King of the Koopas will keep kidnapping her! So you just gotta get your shrooms and squeeze into that pipe and get her back!

I believe that is what Pickpocket is going with his idea...

True art has many interpretations.
And C`mon, you know me. Im not boring enough to give the same advice as everyone.

i have this girl that i like and i have a crush she likes but... i dont if she likes me as a boyfriend becuz were are friends so.. go to my page and please reply soon

Someone help me out...? You have a crush she likes? As in you have a crush on her and you don't know if she likes you back.
If that's correct listen to the advice below and if not specify please with complete details:
So I'm guessing you guys are friends the very least for a month or so? Well if so then you probably notice some things about her. Like the way she talks to you. Does she talk like that to other guys? Does she look at you strangely? Is she nice to you? Does she laugh at your jokes? Even the lame ones? Does she smile when she sees you? Does she like to be seen with you? All of these could be signs she likes you.

Yep drose, how long have you known her?

Have yous ever talked about being more than friends?

Wait a second...he said go to his page to reply to him? Ummm...should we? Or should we just tell him to come back to the thread?

I posted on his page saying that people were posting here so he should look on the thread. So if he comes back great, if he doesn't it is his loss.
