I'm 20 and he is 17 (18 in Feb) and he is a senior in high school and going to the collage I'm at next year (didn't pick it for me) :D
Any way my dad seems to have an issue with the fact that he is underage and in high school :/ I could take a train to see him (which I do when I can) but my dad refuses to either drop me off at his house or even pick him up...
I understand we could run into legal issues I guess... Already had my school get fussy seeing him on campus O.o (the main fuss was from his mother telling them that he was 15)
...thats a longish story... he was abandoned at the hospital for 2 years and became a swapped baby so she refuses to use his real age a lot of the time :/
I do focus on my studies -.- but we all know there is time for socialization too.
My aunt talked with him and says she likes him :) I'm just not seeing what my dad is ...
There's nothing you can do to change your dad's mind, except assure him that everything you and your boyfriend are doing is perfectly legal? That's what I did when I was 17 and dating a 21 year old [whom I'm now engaged to] :D
I think your dad is probably just worried about you getting into some sort of legal trouble. If his mother doesn't approve of the relationship, which it sounds like she really doesn't, she could very easily press the issue and get you into some serious trouble. Like it or not, he's still 17 and he is not an adult. How long as you been seeing this guy? If the relationship is fairly new, maybe you could cool things off a bit until he is of legal age. By this I don't mean break up, just take things really slow and don't do anything that could get you into legal trouble. Keep in mind, though, even that might not satisfy your dad.
And of course you don't see what your dad sees...you are the one who is young and searching for love. Your dad is the one who is trying to protect his daughter. There's a huge difference in how you two will see the world. ;)
Yeh thats a nice way to see it... the he just wants be be sure that I'm safe :) and we been together for almost a month ... I could start by seeing him a little less probably every other week since it costs $18 public transit (both ways) O.o Meh it's not too long till he is 18 and then in collage :) it will be a good test to see if he can wit for me :D (babbling sorry I'll stop)
Aw thanks yeh I'm sure it will get better when he is either 18 or in collage :) ... guess it is mostly strange when the girl is the older one...idk I like them younger not sure why O.o
Honestly, February will be here before you know it. If you've been seeing this guy for less than a month, you still have a lot of time to get to know him. If he really cares about you, the next few months will be nothing for him to get through with you. I'd see this as a test to make the relationship stronger, in fact. And if you can't make it through this, then you'll know he's not really in it to be with you to begin with and you can move on and find someone who IS in it to be with you for the long haul. So it's a win-win situation.
There's always a silver lining, you just have to look at some clouds a little longer to find them. hugs I hope it all works out for you. Good luck!!
