How Do I Convince My Mom To Let Me Date?
September 3, 2009
Hi Katie,
So I have been going out with my boyfriend for about six months and we have never been on any sort of “date”. My mom said she has to go with me… which I don’t get because it is only to the movies or whatever. I love my mom but she is being annoying and I don’t think she even wants me to see him outside of school help!

Dear Kalianna,
I agree! A date would be no fun with your mom there. So here is what you can do. She doesn’t want you to be with him alone, right? So arrange a group date with some of your friends and your boyfriend to go to the movies or someplace. You will be in a public place and with other people, so what can really happen? That way you are allowed to go without your mom, and you get to see your boyfriend too outside of school.
Your mom is probably afraid of you guys being alone together and you getting pregnant. Reassure her that you will not be alone together and that you will be responsible and make good decisions. If worse comes to worse and she still doesn’t agree, you can always meet up with your friends and conveniently forget to tell your mom that you invited him to join you.
