Just be honest with them and tell them you think your at the age that your ready to date.
You can two things when talking about this. You can tell your parents how you feel or you can do it without them knowing.
Just get her or him in a place where you'll have some privacy and tell them
dont tell your parents
Just tell them that you need to talk to them, and that what you are about to tell them that they shouldn't get mad at you because you have your agency to do what you want and then tell them you were dating someone.
tell them your parents wont let you date.
You need to tell them they could tell someone or help you but if you don't want to. tell someone close to you who you can talk to about it to it can help you get it off your chest.
Courting is a hard things to do for some people. If you are wanting to date you should just tell your parents how you feel.
Date someone else. Or tell him but say you don't want a relationship.
It means he is embarrassed. Or in some cases he might not be aloud to date
Tell him nicely that u dont feel the same about him, you like someone else, its a bad time, i just want to be friends, or my parents wont let me date
Then tell him that what his parents are doing is wrong get him to talk to them and if that doesn't work then do what i do go out with him anyway just don't tell his parents want to go on a date but they'll suspect something sneak out don't be scared its actually more romantic and fun. Good luck!
tell them you want to have a bro or sis. use every excuse to tell them you want one; like whenever you see someone with a baby! it worked for me!
