How do I tell my parents? Its the first girl and all but, im finding ithars what to say…
I was planning on tell my mum/mom that I liked her then I could continue with that and then my mum/mom might see the relationship but I didnt know what to say to bring it up or should I approach it differently?

If you got facebook set your relationship status to "In a relationship" if possible put with the girl...

When you go out with this girl, on a proper date, explain it. If syour mom/mum is anything like mine, she'll interrogate you like a criminal anyway.

My Dad has facebook but I really want to tell my mum first.

See but I had this friend that was female and we would do everything together like every weekend so my mum and dad see it ad normal andwould never believe me.
Thank you for the help but is there any other idea you may be able to think of?

Yes,
I am in a similar boat. I am a little worried as to asking girls out because I am scared of what my parents will say. My Sister had Boyfriends earlier than my age now, so I dont think I have anything to worry about. Im also interested as in how to tell.
Cheers,
Sam

i think you guys are way too smart for your own good. Interesting topic though. I'm impressed that you care what your parents will think. Mine would be like "oh that's nice" and then start asking questions. Don't know many people who go out on dates or who date. Seems like it's more about having a friendship or hookin up, but no "I'm going out with blah blah," kind of talk. It's good. I think our parents only care if we're hanging out with good kids.

The first ever time my Mum found out I had a girlfriend was in 6th Grade I just told her I think I liked a girl and she was proud of me and thought it was cute. No biggie

Well, you will probably have to expect an interrogation from your mother, because that’s just what moms do. I would go to her and just start out small, and say you are going to hang out with your friend (insert girls name). If you already hang out with a lot of girls and your mother knows this, then this step might not work out, but if you don’t normally hang out with girls, this might spark her curiosity, and she might ask you about her. If this happens, tell her where you know her from. You can continue to tell your mom you like this girl if the moment hasn’t gotten awkward. If things have gotten awkward, just leave and hang out with your girlfriend, or do whatever. You’ll eventually do this again; the next day would be best. Tell her again, you are going to hang out with (insert name). After you’ve done this a couple of times, it’s time for the next step. Ask your mom if (insert name) can come over to the house, to hang out. This will start to hint to your mom that you like this girl, which will make it much easier for you to finally tell her you like her, and are dating.
Of course, if you don’t want to play it out in a long segment, such as I’ve described, you can just go up to her and try and be brave about it, and tell her you met a girl and you like her. =)

I don't think it matters how you tell them... it may be a little awkward and embarrassing but I would just come out and say it. My parents would be totally thrilled if I went out with a girl and I wish I could tell them something like that... especially since they don't know I'm gay and think there's just something wrong with me at the moment lol. They keep asking me if I've met any nice girls.... so yeah I think most parents kind of expect this and deep down they'd probably be quite proud of you.
