This really isn't an issue about gender or about sexual orientation. And it is beside the point to get angy with her parents about their moral opinions--they have a right to raise their daughter according to those morals. That is what good parents do.

The worst problem here is the age issue. If both partners are over the age of 20, 3 years is no big deal. But if the partners are in their teens, then a 3 year gap is a lifetime. That's just a fact of the way that people mature.

If she is legally too young to be having a sexual relationship, it doesn't matter if it is with someone male or female. This means that you are potentially in some serious legal jeopardy that includes statutory rape, corruption of a minor, and even child abuse, depending on the laws of the state in which you live.

If her parents "play that card" they are only acting from a sense of responsibility for protecting their daughter.

Because you love her, you need to weigh the consequences carefully here. And you need to think about the future you might have with her. That means not only making responsible choices right now but also learning to create a good relationship with her parents so that they can come to respect your orientation and to approve of your relationship with their daughter.
 
It's the effort that counts! I've worked in my parents restaurant for most of my life (I'm a teacher now, though) and I'm very accustomed to cooking. My bf loves it!

The times that he has cooked for me, I've either had to help him out a little bit or sometimes a lot, or when he does it all himself it did not turn out as well as he would've liked. But the fact that he wants to make an effort and cook for me is so adorable :love:

So, even though it might not turn out as well as yours, the fact that he wants to do something special for you is very romantic. Effort counts above everything in my books and anyone should be grateful to have a significant other who wants to do something nice.
 
That's a good attitude to have... "more fish in the sea". Especially if you had major differences.
 
Well it's for a birthday. The woman's birthday. I'm just worried that he would burn the dinner for me. My birthday is coming up here soon. I'm just worried about Dan burning dinner. It's his first time cooking on a stove. :sigh: But I'm a worry wart.

Thanks Carol.
 
KellAndSteve4Ever I guess it makes sense, things are a little better, it was my mother's birthday one of this days and he bought her a cake, she even cried with emotion, I hope this good impression lasts, because she was even treating me badly whenever she saw I was extremely happy.

Tyra from *NOL aww :( it's so difficult when parents aren't supportive, it's awful to be in the between, because we love both sides too much and don't want anyone to get upset. Is Eric from a different country than you?
 
I can relate. My mom is a protective mom. I always ended up between her & Eric. She uses the language as barrier as an excuse not to communicate with Eric directly. I can tell u that friday nights' dinner at my place is no fun.
 
Sometimes i wonder if all guys ever change me and my boyfriend have been dating almost a year we use to talk before we got together for about 2 years and he use to talk to other girls so sometimes i find myself not wanting to trust him and we fight but he always tells me goodnight even if we are not talking and tonight he didnt i dont if i should be worried or pissed off and i noticed we have been figthing more when he is around his best friend cause i just feel like he doesnt care when he is around him but he says he loves me and im his world and he even told me he wants to be with me for the rest of his life but i dont know anymore i started to think he was the one guy that was going to prove to me that they're not all the same.....:(
 
Yeah I've noticed a couple of my friends argue more over the internet, and then they see me in person and act all nicey nicey. It's almost like they feel protected by some sort of shield they hide behind on the internet.

And MegPrescottfan, I agree with Juli :) It all depends on what is to be changed
 
Nitinha The thing about your parents is that whenever oine of their kids has a bioyfriend or a girlfriend, especially if it's getting kind of serious, they're scared that they're going toi lose their child. I know with my girlfriend and I it was weird because it flipped, before we broke up her dad supported us and her mom didn't and after we got back together her moim supports us and her dad doesnt.So what I'm saying is whether it be both parents or ine parent it's still going to be hard for them.
