So I have a girlfriend now...

Thanks everyone for the advice. Right now she thinks her parents don't want her dating so getting a date is tough. I'm trying to convince to go with me to the library. Any thoughts on how to get her parents to go along?

 

Insist it is for the greater glory of human understanding.

 

Ironically, I've already sort of suggested that.

 

Put them in the backseat? LOL...sorry... Seriously, this could be a situation where you might want to consider just how much this girl means to you. You're gonna hafta convince the parents that you are trustworthy enough.

 

You have a penis.

It will be a tough sell.

The best way to sway them and show them your pure intentions is to perform a religious/ritualistic castration on their front lawn.

Its either that or lie to them and tell them (with a straight face) you will never ever never forever have sex with their daughter.

 

I believe some Iron Age morals should be "sacrificed" for the greater glory of human understanding.

 

If it is a conservative house, try to make friends with the dad. A liberal house, try to make friends with the mom.

Once you get the alpha of the household on your side, dating will be approved.

Watch the movie "A walk to Remember" for tips on this strategy.

 

Depends on what positions she knows. If you're lucky she's had some prior experience so you won't have to teach her.

 

Well first of all she 'thinks her parents don't want her dating' is not a good sign. That could mean either she just is using that as an excuse or it could mean that she is to scared to talk to her parents about it.

What do parents like?

Group dates- do either of you belong to any youth groups, church groups, etc? Involved in any sports? Parents will be far more comfortable if there is a small group of you going out together rather than the two of you alone.

Find some excuse to go by her house. If you share any classes together, be the hero who is bringing some homework to her.

Once there- be polite to everyone- and especially be polite to your girlfriend- parents like to see that. And keep your hands off of her while at the house. Parents don't like that- they tolerate it once they like you and you haven proven yourself.

The Dad will be the harder sell in most cases- but if you have any mutual interests(sports, cars, something) he might love having you around.

Always be willing to take the garbage out when you are there.

Compliment the home- that will make the mom happy. In most cases complimenting the car will please the Dad.

Oh and compliment your GF but in good ways- talk about how smart she is or how talented she is- brag about what she has done at school- chances are they may be things she doesn't talk about as much.

Good luck with everything.

Thanks for the advice. Right now since we both want to get into our school's drama production, I plan to ask her to go to the library with me and work on memorizing the lines.

 

That sounds like a great idea. Have lots of fun. Best of luck.

 

Thanks, it means alot.

 

Me and my hunny just love to stay home and play video games or watch movies and TV shows together. We'll make a pizza (cheap frozen one) and that's always really tasty. We're just lazy folks who like to relax and be in the same room together. Disregard if that's not really your thing and you prefer to go out and be active though. =P

 

A lot of happy horse manure here.

If you like her, just be nice to her.

 

hehehehe you have come to the right place my good man. First of all you will know its a good thing if the woman you are seeing doesnt care about the money being tight, if all she wants is to spend time with you then MAJOR PLUS. that alone throws up a flag that she could be a keeper.

secondly, instead of the very expensive movies go together and pick out a movie at a Redbox. They are cheap and in my experiences just going to pick the movie brings out some funny conversation. I dont know what it is about the Redbox but they are a social magnet lol. Then go right into the store and buy some popcorn and some sodas or whatever it is you drink. Cook a dinner at yours or her house, and "viola" dinner and a movie for around $30-$40 instead of paying $120-$150 by going out.

take her to the park and have a picnic, and maybe even go bike riding together if you guys enjoy that kind of thing.

mini golf is always cheap and is very fun

Take her to meet some of your friends at their house, make sure your friends are a couple though. suggest board games or card games. go in half for the drinks and snacks and there ya go.

A fun date me and the lady do is drive around just looking for new things to try. this one can be kind of expensive because of course you got to pay for gas, but its fun to see all the things you never noticed before.

perhaps find a music artist or band both you guys are fans of. now we all know concerts are seriously expensive, BUT thanks to blue ray and dvd we can get a recording of any concert we want and play it on the screen. perhaps a night of rocking out, or whatever it is you like. Or hell if you really want to make her happy just get a dvd of a band she likes and "try" to enjoy it with her lol. Hey, I had to sit through a damned Pit Bull concert live, but as much as i hated every damned second of it the reward was more than worth it lol.

 

I believe mostly nice guys can never have too many (girl) friends.

 

With the money you have, get some running shoes. Then run.

 

I suggest you practice oil wrestling to see who get to be on top in the relationship for the week; in modern times.

 

Alright, and I know a couple too. Now here's a tougher question. My gf thinks her parents don't want her dating, so in order to convince her parents, she needs to have a "girl" friend instead to hang around with. The only girl we both know, is part of the couple I mentioned. The problem is, the boyfriend won't give me her number, so I could help to arrange it. So I now need some help getting a guy to give me a number.

Speaking of which, was dating complicated for you guys?

 

Seriously- don't do it. This has the potential to go wrong on so many, many levels.

First of all- your girlfriend says she doesn't know whether her parents want her dating or not.

Well- why doesn't she know? If she can't raise this question in any fashion or form this just raises caution flags to me Either her parents have said no, and she isn't being honest with you(sorry it happens) or she is scared of her parents.

Encourage her to talk to her parents or ask her about the above.

Second- don't participate in this deception. If her parents find out you participated they will never forgive you. They will probably forgive their daughter- but not you.

No, it wasn't this difficult for me- but I knew people that it was.

Don't lie- don't participate in a lie- do not ask the girls BF for his GF's number.

 

Why can't you go to her house and play a game of batmitton or something in the yard? I don't think her parents would have a problem with that.

Go slow with this...and no deception at all.

 

Alright. I'll try to convince her.

 

Kranes, One thing that would help you a lot in getting along with a girl would be to get off the computer the hours a day that you obviously are.

Get out in the world and do something interesting and don't waste your time arguing on a chat site.

And good luck...I mean it.

 

Yea Kranes...

... atta boy...

... you da man!

 

You don't need money to show her a good time. Take her for a picnic in the local park, then go for a slow walk later on. Take her out in the evening to watch the sun set.
Neither costs a thing, and she'll love it.
