Well, I have something to ask, and It's bothering me so much. There's this boy who asked me out. I like him he likes me, But My Mom and Dad forbid me to date him! My Dad still sees me as his "little girl" but I'm grown up now, and I think I may love this guy. HELP!

Soon you will be a legal adult and be able to date whomever you want.

I'm sure you will have many years of dating.

... how grown up are you?

Your parents are looking out for you... I promise. When I was in middle school, my parents forbade me from dating as well, and I would argue and whatnot, and now that I look back on it, I realize... they were right. If you really want to start dating, then I suggest you sit down, have a grown up talk with your parents. Tell them that you like him, and want to see him, but will also abide by their rules (curfew, how often you can see/talk to him, how your grades won't suffer, etc.)

Well, I'm not very grown up, but my Mom and Dad say I'm very mature. They say I act like a well learned college student... But It's really a prob with My Father... Not much My Mother.

Well, how old are you?

She's 14.

(now she HAS to correct me.)

I'm 11

Your mom and dads rules are very legit. Very reasonable. Your way too young. Try not to grow up too fast.. Your far far far from grown all up. You may be able to say that at 21 but not at 11.

Why do you want to date? What will you do with a boyfriend? What's the hurry?

Your parents are looking out for you, that's what parents do. At 11 you are not mature enough to handle a relationship.

I remember when I was 11. I was still playing with my punky brewster doll listening to Bon Jovi on my little pink tape recorder. Lol Wow. I'm old. 11 and thinking that you love this guy? Can I ask how old this guy is?

Yes, a 11 year old has not business even thinking about dating

yes, a 11 year old has not business even thinking about dating

Exactly, Could not agree more.

Have to agree 11 yrs old you aren't even in the 6th grade yet. You need to enjoy your years as a kid they are something you never get back and when you grow up too fast you don't even have the childhood memories.

I have to agree 100%, eleven is way too young to date, heck, I think 14 is too young. Enjoy being a kid, you only get one childhood, don't be in such a hurry to grow up, there's plenty of time for that later.

Well I always did think it was kind of cute when kids that age are 'asked out' cause WHERE they going to go?

Of course I was shocked today, I had two of the neighbor teens, help me clear house today, pick up a lot of old paper work, shred it, and haul it to the trash areas. In talking, I asked the poor how old he was, I think it was 14, the girl, was taller, and looked about 16 if I had to guess, she was 11. Phsycially far too mature for a 11 or 12 year old the way I remember it.

Exactly, and they'd have to be back before dark, and mom or dad would have to drive them to wherever they're going. I don't get it, at 11 I was still playing dolls and having fun with my friends, boys were still yucky. Is there something in the food that's making these kids grow up faster than normal?

Your dad calls you "his little girl" because that's what you are. Your parents tell you that you act maturely because occasionally you do, and it's a parent's job to encourage their children.

At 11, you're still a child. That's not an insult, don't hear it as one.

Prove your parents right (that you do act maturely) and respect their instructions.

Kids do develop allot faster nowadays. They say it's the extra hormones in milk and such. I do know that my neighbors daughter started menstruating at the age of 6, I can't imagine that.

I understand that hormones do have allot to do with it, but still, an 11 year old, no matter how physically mature, is no where near emotionally mature enough to date.

Yeah I know that sometimes they have pre-teens (12 and 13) on the day time talk shows and you would swear they were 19. They dress with the low cut tops and the mini skirts and nothing to the imagination. Then people wonder how a 19 yr old boy ended up with a 12 yr old girl because she lied about her age!

I got hit on by a girl that I thought was 19.

... ended up to be 15.

They are looking a lot older these days. My neighbor has a niece and I was talking to her and I assumed she was a junior in high school and she told me she was 12! I could NOT believe it! 12 year old don't look like that! Although... when I was growing up I didn't wear the clothes that they wear now, either. Getting off the topic... You are TOO young at 11 years old to be trying to get into a relationship. You should be watching I-Carly and listening to the Jonas Brothers and braiding your friends' hair. You should not be worried about a boy. You have YEARS to worry about that kind of stuff. Just have fun being a kid. It's going to be gone before you know it!

Um how old are you?

She already said 11

um how old are you?

Please read through a thread and check the dates before posting.

Looks like we scared the OP away.

[Hi, Honey,:) ,

I can see your point very well. You just feel grown up and you feel that you know right form wrong and you are so proud about yourself and so sure that you do not think that your dad should rule upon you. Now listen to me, have you ever had something that you loved a lot and did not want anyone to hurt it? Like a doll, or something that you really liked. I want you to understand how precious you are to your dad. Have you seen a newborn? How helpless they are? How weak and fragile they are? Your dad has rocked you through nights, had fed you, has changed your daipers... had worked hard to make you happy and grown up and wise as you are now. You are all he has, and he does not want you to be hurt in anyway. And you know the world can be very dangerous, this cute guy that you think you might love and seems so nice, might do something out of ignorance that hurt you for all your life. I do not want to frighten you, but that is true. We sometimes think we know everything but we don't and parents do not always expain everything because it is even hard for them to talk about. I followed my dad's rules as long as I lived with him, now I am married and have a loving husband and a child. I am happy I listened to him. When I was 21, he wanted me to be back home by nine in the evening if I was invited to a birthday party! It was not easy, but I always told myself, as long as I live with him, I respect his rules. If it was not for him I would not be safe and happy as I am now. Be paitient and listen to your daddy. He loves you.

Thanks so much. All of you helped me, and I relized that...Hes just a crush, and a crush is just a word. I think I'm even over him now. Thanks to all of you. Ya'll helped me alot. :D

BTW, I'm Catloverrpg's friend and she asked me to post that for her.

I think you is her because your 11 just like her. Anyway its good that you took everyone advise and realize that it was a crush. Your have many of those.

Nope, I'm not her. She is at my house and she was using my computer. She just forgot that it was not her act. lol but, she is over him. He keeps on calling her and she says that hes crying over her. what a dweep. Shes a heart breaker I guess you could say lol.

I'm thinking troll alert, anyone else?

Troll alert?.
