Hi to all!
I'm a 16 year old guy and this girl I really like, 15 years old, has very very strict parents. She's only allowed to go out with a select amount of friends who have met her parents, which comes down to three girls. She's also not allowed to date and she's given me the very serious reason which I won't mention here, her parents don't let her date. She has also joked in the past that her parents are Russian, a reason for their strictness. Simply I can't date or see her and I'll get onto that.
This girl I really like and myself both work at the same store just with different roles and shift times. Work is the only place we've physically been able to make contact with each other, and because it's work we have only ever hugged and have very small talk. If not gathered already, we don't go to the same school and we see each other only at work. I've known her for a while but we have only started talking for a month and getting serious about our relationship for two weeks, where we communicate using Snapchat most of the time.
I have asked her if she wanted to go out (date) me and she said that she would love to be with me if only she was allowed to date. She's also worried that I would find another girl to be with before she's allowed to date but I feel really committed to her.
We only see each other at work and I'm quitting my job for a better one so we wouldn't be able to see each other at all. I've asked her many times about how we could spend time with each other but she has been hesitant. I understand that I need to be patient and I truly respect her parents' decisions, but even as friends I wouldn't be able to see her and I can only talk to her online. I don't know why but I feel like I love her.
So what is the best move I should take?
Wait until she can date or just move on?
Other suggestions are more than welcome! Thank you!

If you truly love her then you have no choice but to wait! I have fancied the same girl for 4 years:') But if you don't then just move on:)

Well why don't you ask her to ask her parents if they can meet you and go from there and wait if you feel it is right to do that. Or move on if things don't work out I guess.

Honestly, if you're going to try, it's not going to be easy. When I knew my girlfriend, already 18 and in college, she was scared to go outside because her father could call her and know she's not at home/college. Not even going for a walk, taking the bus... just college and home. He'd visit every weekend to pick her up and take her to SP, where her family's at. Plus, there was a lot of tension if she slipped that they would not allow her at college anymore. And she was 18, now 19, and sometimes she (and by consequence I) still have to put up with some BS her family spews. It's gotten a lot better, but it took a while, and a lot of patience.
The question is then, when will the girl you are talking to be allowed to date? 18 isn't really that much of a magic number, and asshole parenting doesn't magically stop. Try figuring out with her how to spend more time together. Waiting without doing won't do much, really :/

I would wait, but if you find another girl that your interested in, go for her. If you truely love this girl, you would wait.

Wait for her. If she is willing to wait just for you, then she's worth the patience. Also, if you can, find places or times when you can be a little sneaky, but hopefully not too much. Ask her if you can join her and her friends when they go out. Maybe you guys can plan for her to go to a movie with her friends, and then you meet up there if her parents aren't like following her around and shit. Basically, do what you can but stay safe and don't take too big of a risk where she may get caught. It'll be good for both of you to connect and have some fun, eat and chat and get to know each other and stuff. Good luck :)

Together we've decided that she would just pretend to be out with friends and we'd go out on dates. Hope the four years pays off well!
Good luck, dude!
Cheers for the luck! Me and her date together now and going out while she's "meant to be" with friends.
Well why don't you ask her to ask her parents if they can meet you and go from there and wait if you feel it is right to do that. Or move on if things don't work out I guess.
I've asked about that and she said that her parents will come in a while. Me and her are together now and our "sneaky " date has gone well!

Well good luck and I hope you're really good at being sneaky. If the father finds out, I think he would forbid his daughter from ever seeing you again. I guess taking the chance is the better option, though.

Good temporary solution, the only problem that could arise is if her parents check up on her friend and their parents to ask or get in contact with her for "reasons" (I.e. Emergency etc..friendly surprise drop off of goods, delivering an item she forgot at home).
If you are going to be sneaky, keep sneaky dates simple and casual.
It helps keep the "cover" and illusion going.
Also be aware the "cover" her friends provide for her, does depend on a healthy friendship bond, between her and her friends. If her friendships are strained, it puts your secret relationship in danger.

See,s like you kinda figured it out. You won't be the first couple who's ever snuck around like that. But this is like a calculated risk. So I'd be really aware of that. Because you don't know what'll happen to her if she's caught. You'll have nothing happen to you (I think) it'll be all her that takes the punishment, what ever that is. And if you really care about her....

It's a difficult situation, but if you're willing to go through the risk of doing that, that's how it's gonna be for the time being.
Good luck.
