how to tell your parents you have a boyfriend?

I’m 17 in 2 months and I’ve never had a boyfriend. I’ve been talking to a boy for a few weeks now and I’m thinking if we make it something how am I going to tell my parents? I don’t think they would mind but I don’t really like talking to them about things like this. I don’t really go out so if I start going’s to see him they will know something is going on. Any advice anyone?

Just have sex with him in the house when she's home :smile:

I mean...I don't recommend it. But it's a sure fire way to let her know.

tell them the worst fear and then say just kidding i have boyfriend and we are having triplets. once they recover they will be happy for you. unless its some odd chappy. in which case listen to your elders they are clever.

I’ll Be honest right it was easier to say the first one lol. Basically this boy I knew all though primary school but havent spoken to for 5 years wants to talk to me. I want to talk back to him but we live near each other and he often sees my parents so I don’t know if I should let the conversation progress

Tell them while you're talking that you like a boy and something might happen. Thats what i did then it was easier to tell them when we finally got together

Bring him around your house as a friend and watch tv in the living room and show him your room but don't hang out in your room or else your parents will think 'something' is going on. Then when's he's gone your parents will ask about him and you can either say he's your bf or tell them a later date. Good luck and I hope he asks you out :smile:

Be confident, your parents will understand that theirs girl become a young lady and from now she wants to start feeling what other people feels when they are in love!

Thanks for the advice so far. Just it’s really hard because as I said I don’t feel comfortable telling them things like this. Tbh I don’t like telling them anything
