Girl trouble

[digbycooper]

I've been texting/calling and hanging out with this girl for the last 3 months. We kissed 2 weeks ago. She says that she really likes me and wants to be my girlfriend, but she can't because she doesn't have the courage to tell her parents and a relationship simply wouldn't work unless they knew. Her parents seem pretty cool from what I've heard and I think she's being overly scared in this situation. She's very shy. I'm 17 and she is almost 17 :) HOW CAN I GET HER TO TELL THEM? Any help would be appreciated :)

Well, it seems like you guys are out of the friend zone, however, why not try and meet her parents as "friends" and if they like you, perhaps they will like you two as a couple! Maybe then she will open up a little about her parents. ^_^ Good luck!

Thanks for the reply :) That sounds like a good idea but it will not happen :( You see, she is VERY shy and she would be almost as scared to let her parents know she had a guy friend :(

Why is that? Is it because they told her that if she has a guy friend then that's bad? There must be a reason for her to be so shy about guys! Maybe you should ask her. If she says that she is just that shy, try to coax her out of her shy shell. Take her for walks, ask when her parents want her home. If her parents call to let her know that it's time to go home, walk her there. Stuff like that. ^_^

I forgot to mention that she goes to a girls only school. So understandably, she in nervous about what they will think about any kind of relationship with a boy.

For example, she won't come for a walk in case she is caught :(

Is there anything I can do to get her to tell them. It's affecting out relationship as we never see each other. I have tried encouraging her, but it hasn't worked :(

Oh that explains so much. She is new to guys. I know that it will be hard since you guys like each other more than friends. She wants to be your girlfriend but is super shy? Why don't you guys agree to take it nice and slow? Call her on the phone, text her, (and if you are lucky, her parents will ask who she's calling/texting) Hopefully she will say "Your name" or "a friend" if her parents ask about the gender, hopefully she will say "boy" or whatever. ^_^ Since she isn't that used to guys because of her environment, it might take quite a while. Take your time, don't rush things, and hopefully, your effort will bear fruit.
