Say something to the effect of?

"Mom, dad, I am going out wtih (blah) tonight, what time do you want me to be back"

I am sure they will ask..who is Blah..

then you can explain...

Yea, my parents are a little conservative. Thats the problem, I think my dad would allow it, but my mom is kinda a pain in the rear.

Then...Tell your dad first. Then let your dad handle your mom...

Either way..go out with the girl...maybe then you can have the talk about the much more hard topic..

"MOM DAD?! SHE"S PREGGERS!"

Give them an ultimatum. Tell them to let you bang hot babes or you will live in their basement for the rest of your life.

Just be honest and speak from the heart:

"Mom, Dad, I'm going out with a boy. Don't worry I've got protection. Have a nice night!"

Tell them WORST news you probably can... so that when they find out it's false, they'll be so happy that it wasn't as bad as they thought, and they'll accept what you're doing.

I don't see how being conservative is really going to make a difference. Maybe like a religious nut job, but any decent parent would be "happyish" for you to be going out. And if you're really worried, just say you're going out with some friends and don't even call it a date.

 

[ghost recon88]

Okay, I'll just tell em flat out "Okay, this is how it is, and I don't care what nobody thinks/says" and then take the keys and leave.

I think your making it a bigger deal then it is..

 

[badmouse]

If it's a big deal to tell your parents, then you're not old enough to date.

I mean unless it's against your religion or something, most parents realize that dating is part of socialization. Do you guys eat dinner together as a family? If so, just bring it up then. Say something like "hey I've got a date on saturday with xx. I was planning on doing yy, and returning at zz could I borrow the car?"

/edit This may not be as obvious to you as it was to me, but do NOT lie about what you will be doing, and do NOT miss curfew. If your plans change call them first. Please follow this advice, I REALLY don't want to see 100 YAGT from you about this girl and how you hate your parents for not letting you date her because you did something stupid.

BTW, relax, the words will come to you

/edit2 Have fun on your date heh

just dont replace the first xx with screwing and the second with "WHENVER I WANT TO!"

Unless they are totally restrictive, I find that being almost completely honest with the parents usually works the best. I just tell them what I am doing and with who and they have been pretty chill about it. On the other hand, my brother tries to hide what he is doing, and they end up choking him.

I think they'll be relieved that you aren't in the basement surfing midget porn and actually have a live human to "interface" with.

This is the way to go.

"Mom, Dad I got kicked out of school for stabbing another student... no actually I'm just going on a date with a girl."

 

[alm4rr]

just say "thanks for your support" or something like that after you tell 'em how it is
