Love help: She says I’m too young for a double date, the movies are a ‘no-go’. - Help.com

She says I’m too young for a double date, the movies are a ‘no-go’.

My best friend, her boyfriend, and my boyfriend wanted to go see iron man this weekend. My mom laughed and said no because I’m too young, and if it were with a group of friends that would be fine but not with your boyfriend because he looks older (he’s the exact same age as i am). I’m going on 15.

Why don’t my parents trust me? My mom says if my dad says okay then it’s go but if not then oh well. I was sitting at the table when she said, “I know what you’re thinking, ‘how are we going to get to know eachother better? how are we going to do this?’ but you’re too young for the movie theater, honey. Sorry.” And in between tears and I just said, “You wouldn’t understand.” and left.

I love this kid to pieces and I wanted to go to the movies with him. I’ve only been to the mall with him as he is my first boyfriend (as of last week). I know with my stubborn mom I’ll never do anything with him.

I understand what you are going through! The other day I asked my mom if me and my bf can go swimming with my TWO bestfriends and their boyfriends! That would be six ppl! It was a private swimming pool at one of my best friends condos…She goes…Sorry honey…I dont want your bf touching you in the wrong way…(I am very top heavy so thats why she says that…and I have a big butt) Sometimes I hate what my body puts me in…Cuz I cant do anything fun that my mom thinks will lead to….Something wrong…I cant go to the movies becuz its dark! I cant go swimming becuz A bikini on my body with my bf is wrong…My mom is sooo stubborn too…Just go somewhere cool like to the park…Where nothing will happen…Ask your mom that…

Secret- Oh, finally. Someone is in the same position.

I understand. I wish there was somewhere where we could go that she would trust. Neither of us can drive and she doesn’t care for my boyfriend, although he’s a gentle kid, and he came up to the car and said hello to her for the first time yesterday.

It annoys the heck outta me. >>

Okay girls, here’s the way I raised my girls. If they went to the movies I sometimes took them to meet their boyfriends. There was usually a bunch of girls and meeting up with the guys. I always told my girls until I had reason not to trust them I would and I stuck by that. They were real good to call me if anything ever changed even when they got 18 years old. We had a good relationship because we respected each other and we trusted each other. They did listen to me and I listened to them. So, go sit down with your mom and show your maturity and let her know that you can be mature with your actions. So, while you are talking to her show her that you won’t be screaming around and pitching a fit and right now accept her reasoning and if she still won’t let you go keep acting mature about the whole things and show her that you are growing up before her eyes. You may not get to go this time but you have to show her that you are mature enough to handle a boyfriend and mature enough to know that even though your boyfriend is a great guy that sometimes they always think with the wrong head. So, she has to see that you are mature enough for that to know to say NO. If you keep on showing her that you will eventually gain her trust. It will be hard for you maybe but if you can’t do that then you aren’t mature enough for a boyfriend. Sometimes go to the movies maybe with a bunch of girls and ask her if your boyfriend can meet you there. That will show her that you do definitely respect her decision and that she can trust you because you asked. Hopefully you both can have a great relationship during this trying teenage time of your life. Me and my girls have grown and we can talk about anything and most of the time we always could. Good luck!

Glad it worked. Sometimes people don’t communicate and try to talk to other people. See, you don’t never know until you try. Have fun and be responsible. Robin
