Firstly, my girlfriend is finishing high this year and we have been in a relationship for 8 months, without her parents knowing any of it. Everything between us is going great.
So I recently got her an Iphone for her birthday, since her existing phone was giving loads of problems. The problem is, she can't use it in front of her parents unless for a valid or acceptable reason. The fact remains that an Iphone isn't that cheap, even her closest friend can't afford to get one for her. So I'm trying to figure out how to get her using the phone with her parents making a big fuss, for e.g. a group of her closest friends got it for her? Then again, an iPhone ain't cheap.

We can't go official for now cause her mum's really strict about her not having a boyfriend in the meantime (she's in high and her major exams coming up), and probably we can go official when she gets to college; but it's still then. And she already has the iPhone (hiding it).

But her birthday is still less than a month to go. And I got this iPhone through her personal tuition teacher, where she got it from her workplace. We're still figuring out a way to get her hands on the phone, without her mum being a trouble.

Dose her mum know you two are friends if she dose then you could tell her that her doughter told you her phone was playing up so all her friend's gotto gether and bought the phone second hand on e.bay

Unfortunately she doesn't. I'm sort of a ghost. But that second hand idea is pretty sensible.

How old are you, and does that have anything to do with her not being able to tell her parents about you? I presume you are old enough to buy an Iphone as a gift for someone, so you must have some sort of income to pay for the phone plus the monthly charges?

I don't understand why she just couldn't introduce you as being a fiend, along with all her other friends.

Why are you a 'ghost' in the first place as you describe yourself.

Just to have some added info on this relationship.

Player got played by the female he played with, and he bought the cheated, dumped female he played on, a phone, cause he thinks he can get back with her after playing, and cheating on her, and he believes the hogwash about how she can't use it to call him on it, so now he wants to figure out how he can keep in touch with the girl, because he thinks her parents will freak if he shows his face around the place again (and they will). So now he has to figure out a way to get around all this drama, and get things back to where he had them.

So of course he looks for an easy softer way to make that happen, and deceit is in the mix because he is a player and cheater, and she knows that. Bet she has no problem calling friends on her new, expensive phone, just not him, heck he barely gets a text every now and then.

That's my take on things any way, and no matter if any one believes it or not, its probably very possible.

Thanks for that Tal. His story was full of holes, now I know why.

Not to mention this confusion has been going on since April.
