A friend of mine is having some trouble with his new girlfriend and her parents. He has been asking me for help and I'm not really sure what to tell him in his current situation so any opinion is welcomed.
Okay, one of my guy friends has just started dating this girl for about two months now. They really hit it off at first. Her parents are really strict with her she is 18 years old and has her own car but isn't allowed to go anywhere but school in it. My friend is trying to find a job right now and also trying to get a vehicle. Her parents do not like him because of the fact that he doesn't have either of these, not even considering the fact that he is trying really hard right now in these bad economic times to find a job.
They will not let her go to see him and he doesn't have a way of getting to her house to see her. She is extremely upset with him today because he will not find a way to come and see her; because her parents only let them see each other if at all on Friday and Saturday nights.
What should I tell him? Will this relationship work out?

[I wish]

We have no idea if this relationship will work out. But he definitely needs to communicate with her.

Can they chat on the Internet? Can they call each other when her parent's aren't home? It's for the two of them to work things out.

What you should tell your friend is to find a way to communicate with her so that they can work out a compromise. But both of them have to work it out together, they can't fly solo to figure it out. Communication is key.

Your friend and this "18" year old need to grow up and get their act together if they want to be together. She is 18 and can work and the two of them can get their own place together. We are not talking about kids here anymore. More than likely her overbearing parents will come around once they see two responsible adults...

She has the strict parents and She has the car and She is upset with him.

Real nice scenerio for a girlfriend.
She knows the situation so why is she taking it out on him?

She wants to see him so bad and her parents said Fri and sat are okay then why hasn't she gone and picked him up already?

She is 18 and her parents really don't have too much say who she likes. They can say not under my roof and if they bought the car for her they can use that against her but other than that she needs to get her life together enough that mom and dad aren't in charge.

Thanks for the responses. I also talked to his girlfriend who said that her parents are really old fashioned. They think that they guy should pick the girl up and have a job to pay for everything when they go out.
They also think that he is using her for her money and her car, which is not the case at all. She is afraid of saying anything to them or else they won't pay for her to go to college next month.

Yeah their house, their money, their rules
They will just have to do the best they can until they can work something out.
