How do you tell your parents you have a bf?

Answer 1

Ask them to talk, sit them down and just tell them. Unless your very young it won't be very unexpected, it's normal for people to date. If one of your parents is stricter than the other it might be best to tell them first and have them help you tell the other or even tell them. A lot of people tell their mothers first.

You might get some resistance but only because they care about you (although you might just think they are interfering), and they have vast experience of the dating scene from their own dating years. Just remember your parents and their friends were dating people when they were your age, you haven't just invented it nor has it changed. But if you ask them how their parents dealt with them and their first date, they may have a more reasonable approach to yours.

Answer 2

• Parents really like honesty, so I would choose your mother to discuss the fact you have a boyfriend. Mothers are a little more understanding and fathers are more protective about their "little girl." Just tell her you really like him and you'd like to ask him over for dinner one night so your mom and dad can meet him. That's all most parents expect. They want to see who their daughters are dating and if she is safe with this person. It's not a slam against your boyfriend. Just give them a chance to meet him.

Answer 3

I do not think that you have any need to tell them. Being parents they will have already guessed that you have a boy friend. The way you act, the things you say, paying special attention to yourself before going out, not being hungry, always smiling and singing. All are giveaways to your having a boyfriend. But it would be nice if you just came out and said so. Parents are not the ogres you might think they are.

Answer 4

Telling your parents that you have a boyfriend can be quite embarrassing, especially if they are likely to go "aw" or ask questions about him. If you are likely to go very shy, then maybe you could bring your boyfriend to your house, and introduce him, rather than telling them alone.

Answer 5

Start slow. Ask for their permission to go some place with a friend. if they ask who the friend is, be honest. they then will probably want to meet him before they will allow you to date him.
Talk to your parents together with your boyfriend. You could hold hands or kiss in front of them to show them what's up.

Answer 6

well you should basically come right out and tell them and ask them if they want to meet him and maybe show them a picture of him to show them.

(new answer) I've never really had to. If they've sent you a note at all, leave it in an area where they are willing to pick it up and, well, wait. Although, it's possibly better to do the above answer.

Answer 7

The best way to tell your parents about your boyfriend is to be totally honest with them, and don't procrastinate. If you do, you might regret it, or maybe even prolong the situation of telling them. Just tell your parents that you have something important to tell them when they have a few minutes and explain to them about your boyfriend and whatever else you want to tell them. It may seem hard, but its better to let them know, even if you may think they won't like him or approve. Parents like to know who is in your life, and if you tell them first, before they find out, they will have a trust between you and them which might give you blessings in the end.

Answer 8

you just talk to them. if you're closer with one over the other, talk to that parent about it first. then have like a "family meeting".
