well i am 12 years old and there is this boy who i really like. my friend asked him out for me and he said yes =] i was really happy about that. but my dad isn't too keen on me going out with anyone at this age. my parents think that i am too young. and it wouldnt be anything like kissing or w/e. and my mom said if i go to the movies with him, it cant be 1 on 1. other friends would have to come at first then later if my mom thinks she trusts that kid, i can go 1 on 1. but i just really wish my DAD would understand. he doesn't want me to have a "boyfriend" yet. how can i get him to understand? i am really...confused =[

***also, LOTS of kids in my grade go out with people!
2. Your dadys little girl and he wants to keep you that way for as long as he can. Convincing him wont be easy if possible at all. good luck.
3. you're 12
you didn't even ask him out yourself
you probably are too young for a boyfriend
if you're not going to kiss or go on 1 on 1 dates then why even 'go out' in the first place.
4. hes not gonna understand, honey.
you shouldve asked your father before asking the boy.
because now his hopes are up.
dads are overprotective with their daughters,
so, i am pretty sure he wont understand.
you should just wait a little longer!
5. in my opinion i think is normal for ur parents to act that way, especially since they're used to thinking of u as a kid. ( because ur not even a teenager yet) and they are not used to it, but they will come along and let it slide little by little, not all at one time! trust me it happens to most of us. Just be patient
6. There are things that are beyond your understanding right now, number one you have to understand that you are "daddy's lil girl" so he doesn't want to lose that, he will never admit it, but that is what it is. I kno as well that you feel as if you are not too young to date, i felt the same way when i was your age, but there are somethings you haven't learned yet, but that will only become apparent as you get older. But as far as you r dad goes, it will be a while before he will except the fact that you do date, and right now he is just a friend guy no matter how you look at it, your mom is actually right in what she is doing, because yes you do need to have male friends that are close. What she is doin is supporting you yet restricting you. Just be aware of everything that goes on, and don't worry about trying to get your dad to see it your way, i been with my girl 3 years and her dad still won't even let her lay on my lap when we are at his house, so you see how it happens, and she is 19
7. Why don't you look at things from his perspective?
He probably doesn't want to become a grandfather just yet.
12 is very young to be dating anyone. My mother wouldn't let my sister date till she was 15.
Listen to your dad and wait a while. There are better things ahead. :)
