I'm 16 having problems with my parents relating to dating guys. Need advice from Teens and Adults Alike! Plz!?

I'm a 16 year old i guess pretty much trying to date this 17 year old guy who is about to turn 18. To make a long story short. I have a guy that i REALLY like and he likes me to and we want to be together. Basically the only problems with this is one he lives about an 1hr to 2 hrs away from me so we do have distance issues but the biggest issue of all is my parents. My parents are basically not together and its tough talking to them, but i have a greater relationship with my dad (who is overseas right now) than my mother (who i am living with right now). My mom hates the idea of me dating, like its really bad to the point she dont like to see me hugging guys or a dude will come and try to talk to me just to get my name at random or even if it is me talking to a guy.She even sometimes listen to my phone conversations whenver i'm talking to a guy (reason for my dad buying me a cell phone anyways) Its terrible. I have not dating anyone sense and this was SUPPOSE to be the year i could start dating but obviously not. Anyway, my dad doesn't have a problem with me dating but my mom does. My dad knows that i like this guy that i want to be with but he's not here to help me convince my mom that i can start dating or going out with a guy, and on top of that they pretty much can't stand each other so their is no talking to each other and i live with my mom instead of my dad. So basically i'm stuck and i dont really want to sneak around but i'm really tempted to even though i've never did it before (i'm one of the good kids that get a bad conscience(sp?) if i do something bad or behind my parents back believe it or not)





SO the question that i have is...how can i talk to both my mom about letting me date guys in general because i don't want to hide it from her and if any advice, and also if anybody can give me advice on how to deal with long distance relationships if possible.





Thank YouI'm 16 having problems with my parents relating to dating guys. Need advice from Teens and Adults Alike! Plz!?
parents can really make situations stressful. I think the best way to deal with this situation is to approach your mom in a very calm and mature way. Come across as an adult and say something like ';Mom, I know you don't really like the idea of me going out with other guys or me even being around them, and I understand that you may be scared or worried about what I may be doing but I'd rather have an open relationship with you that's supportive. I'm interested in boys and would really like to see one in particular a lot more. I feel that I'm responsible enough and smart enough to make the proper decisions and if I'm not, well it does take some experience to learn better ways of living. Can we make a compromise? I'll be honest/open with you if you can at least allow me to see guys?





Hope this helps and good luck!





long distance relationships can work but it takes two to make it work - only one to screw it up.

....... wait for it for some more time.
rape!
First for the long distance relationships, I really think they don't work. You both can get tempted into liking other people (which is normal) and you don't wan to end up hurting each other.





And for talking to you mom, just ask her flat out, why you can't date guys. And talk to her about when she said that you could date guys when your 16 like she agreed on. If she says your not responsible, or trustworthy, prove her wrong, or give her proof that you are responsible and trustworthy.





I really hope this works because this happened to me in the past, and I did this and gained my parents respect.

I had the same problem, ages and everything only it was my dad not liking the idea . . .just tell her she has to understand that you are growing up and it is perfectly normal for you to start dating at this age. And tell her that he makes you happy : )
