I urgently need help, my happiness depends on it!

first of all, thankyou so much for reading this post I really appreciate it! Now down to my problem…
I am a 16 year old girl who has a 16 year old boyfriend. We have known each other for 3 years and have been going out for two. We have a long distance relationship but meet up whenever we can. I have total trust in my boyfriend and we are dedicated enough to put the time and effort into our relationship, so it works. I can safely say I am in love. Even though I’m quite insane I can be a mature and sensible gal, so please take this into account when you hear my problem.
Our parents both knew we were going out until very recently (christmas time). We broke up for a few days, thinking we wern’t right for each other, but then realised that even though we are young, we are very much in love ;) So we got back together =) Only problem is…our parents don’t know. I know my parents wouldn’t be too happy if they found out and neither would his, but we are fine with this and all my friends and his friends know not to reveal anything to our families.
Anyway, this weekend coming up I am travelling to Glasgow to meet him, but of course my parents don’t know that…my excuse is that I want to buy a dress for my prom from a boutique there. I discussed our day plans with them today and I have to time everything perfectly so that I have time to buy a dress and meet up with him in secret. My biggest problem is that my parents are reluctant to let me split up with them for a few hours to go shopping on my own (they usually would, but it’s such a big city and I have never been before) at which point I would be meeting up with my boyfriend.
Is there any way I could get them to split up with me? any ideas?
I REALLY have to see my boyfriend or I will be devastated being in the same city but not being able to meet up.
Please PLEASE help me! =)

If all else fails I might just ‘lose’ them on purpose and run off to meet him, but they’d just expect me to come find them or they will suspect something suspicious is going on.

please get back to me.

If you want to know more information so that you can help just leave me a reply and ask for my email address.

Thankyou xxxxxxx

Honesty is the best policy. What’s wrong with telling your parents the truth? It’s not like you are about to get married or anything, so just tell them you’d like to see the guy again!

Yes, but it is REALLY complicated, and they won’t let me see him if I tell them. Thankyou for your replies though =)

How do you know that they will not let you seem him, and why would they not let you seem him?

well, basically because when we broke up last time, we broke up BAD. It was right before christmas and in all honesty my parents didn’t really like him anyway.
But their opinion doesn’t matter to me. All I want to do is be able to see him.

So the reason that your parents have for not letting you see him is because they do not want to witness you breaking up again?

I don’t really know. My dad has always been VERY overprotective since (not being vain at all in any way here, it’s the truth) I get a lot of male attention.
I guess they don’t want me to feel like I had to the day we broke up. But in all honesty even when we were going out and they know neither of our parents thought it was a good idea.

My dear, please, please, don’t try and ‘lose’ them in Glasgow. Lovely city though it is there are also some dark and dangerous places. They would be in absolute despair if they couldn’t find you. Imagine if you were in a shop with your mum and she just diasapeard. They would be even more upset, and very, very mad if they found out that you had done it to meet your boyfriend. I think that really would be the end of it.

Even though they obviously do not like him, is there any way you could arrange for you to ‘bump’ into each other and then insist that you wanted to talk to him like an adult and sort out what the problem was. Sad to say they may not give you the space to be alone with him, but maybe he could be very nice to you and them to soften them up for the long-run.
