Advice on how to tell parents...

  Author:  19871  Category:(General Advice) Created:(12/31/2008 5:06:00 PM)

I have a decent relationship with my parents but I'm having a slight problem on telling them that I have a boyfriend.

I've gotten together with a guy I liked and I'd like to tell my parents about it. The only problem is, I'm having trouble on HOW to tell them that I have a boyfriend. Its not that I don't want to tell them but more of how. It feels rather awkward to me to just suddenly spring it out of nowhere considering that I've not really told them of any of my activities or my interest in him in the previous months.

So how do I work up a conversation to inform them or should I just really, out of the blue, spring it on them at dinner and go "You know mum, dad I have a boyfriend!" which is kinda awkward x.x

How did your folks find out about your relationship or how did you tell them? I'd like to but how do I make it non-awkward?

Date: 12/31/2008 5:12:00 PM  From Authorid: 53052    you introduce them to the guy.. have him pick you up for a date  
Date: 12/31/2008 5:18:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 19871    Paddy I'm 19 =3  
Date: 12/31/2008 5:19:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 19871    I know they're not dumb xD; its just that I'm not sure how to tell them in a non awkward manner  
Date: 12/31/2008 5:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 10657    As long as you aren't living with him then, just come out and tell them it's always best for you to tell them something before they find out on their own first  
Date: 12/31/2008 5:35:00 PM  From Authorid: 1799    I would just tell them. If you do anything too special to let them know, they might be worried about why it was such a huge thing and think the worst. I tend to tell my parents about the guy I like first, and then tell them I'm dating him.  
Date: 12/31/2008 5:39:00 PM  From Authorid: 23075    then just tell them.  
Date: 12/31/2008 5:51:00 PM  From Authorid: 3263    Well, do you want them to meet him? If so, you could be like "Mom, Dad, I have a friend who I'd like you to meet. He means a lot to me"   
Date: 12/31/2008 6:07:00 PM  From Authorid: 44960    This is so simple, just cut to the chase!!... "Hey Mom and Dad, I'm pregnant, you're gonna be Grandparents!! Wanna meet him!!" *Spirit*  
Date: 12/31/2008 6:14:00 PM  From Authorid: 3901    LMAO @ Priss! That's totally how I should have told my dad he's going to be a gramps.  
Date: 12/31/2008 6:34:00 PM  From Authorid: 64566    Prissy , that's a good idea. LMAO !!!!!!!!

Dark Crow has a good answer , just tell them you have a good friend for them to meet and a very nice guy or whatever you know about him.
  
Date: 12/31/2008 7:03:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 19871    LOL Priss!  
Date: 12/31/2008 8:09:00 PM  From Authorid: 14909    Just tell them, you are plenty old enough to have a boyfriend. Nothing to be scared of. Priss your amazing at the things you come up with   
Date: 1/1/2009 1:36:00 AM  From Authorid: 53961    Better to hear it from you than someone else.  
Date: 1/1/2009 1:58:00 AM  From Authorid: 35720    I'd just be like, "Hey guys, I wanna bring over a guy I've been talking to." Then introduce them.. no biggie.  
Date: 1/1/2009 7:23:00 AM  From Authorid: 54570    Need to add "with twins" to "Hey Mom and Dad, I'm pregnant"...... But Dark Crow has the right idea.

Or you could tell them you bought him brand-new off E-bay and you have a 30 day trail on him. Or if your Catholic tell them you stepped into a confessional booth and he was on the other side and you confessed to him and he wasnt the priest... Or you found him beside the curb in a box that said "Free to Good Home". To make it easier do it with humor. What ever you do though just tell them the truth.
  
Date: 1/1/2009 7:24:00 AM  From Authorid: 54570    trial not trail*  
Date: 1/1/2009 9:10:00 AM  From Authorid: 56369    Not words but action, so basically dont get lost thinking about it just come straight out and say it! If it were me I would tone it down a little, so they dont get the full idea you have been together for ages. Just describe that as the 'getting to know each other' period. I would then carry on as if its time for the next stage and its new to you and them. I dont mean it to sound so dishonest, but I am very awkard in these situations also!  
Date: 1/1/2009 12:16:00 PM  From Authorid: 62849    Honestly, I don't remember- it was never a big deal. I think most times I had a story to tell about something I did or a place I went and said, "Name of boyfriend), this guy I've been seeing, and I went to (Place) and (this happened)." If you're casual about it, then they should be too. Do they ever ask if you're seeing anyone? I know that's how my in-laws found out about me- they asked my husband if he was seeing anyone and he said he was and went from there.  
Date: 1/1/2009 12:18:00 PM  From Authorid: 62849    That was supposed to be ( instead of I'm not sure why the frownie face came up.  
Date: 1/1/2009 12:19:00 PM  From Authorid: 62849    I give up!!! LOL  
Date: 1/1/2009 12:32:00 PM  From Authorid: 28363    Just tell them you want to invite a guy over for dinner and they will figure it out.  
Date: 1/3/2009 6:58:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 19871    lol okay thanks guys =D  
Date: 1/13/2009 6:25:00 AM  From Authorid: 63092    You know, I was always just honest with my parents. Even if it wasnt something that they wanted to hear, they were always happy to know that I was being honest with them. Even when the thing I was doing was bad, which isnt necessarily your case, lol. Trust is a major part of any relationship and it can buy you alot of slack, just dont choke yourself with it, lol. Wish you the best of luck.  
Date: 1/17/2009 1:47:00 AM  From Authorid: 64687    Well... let me tell you the story of my husband and I... it was about three weeks before my 18th birthday and my dad let me go to Vegas to spend about a week and a half with my brother, no blood relation just a really good friend who moved, and I ended up meeting my husband on this trip.

So as time passed, I went back home after spending almost every day on the trip with the man I'm married to now and sat down with my dad and said 'Dad, you knew one day something like this would happen and I'm only telling you this because you've been there for me all my life and deserve to know... not only that but the person involved would really like to meet the man that raised me. While I was visiting with Jason I found a man that I deeply care for and we've decided to try out a relationship even with the distance.' My dad was very understanding over it and it scored my hubby bonus points for actually wanting to meet him.

I feel if you have a relationship you need to tell your parents and its as easy as telling them you need to talk to them and sitting down and just telling them from the beginning and adding in, if you feel comfortable, that you should all have a dinner together one night so they could meet him.
