I have super strict conservative Muslim parents who don't let me out on evenings and I do speak to a few girls but I can never really escalate since I'm basically not allowed a social life and I have to come up with excuses whenever I'm invited to parties. I get amazing grades at school and I've tried everything to let them let me out later but it's futile. Does anybody have any advice for me?
How would they react if you simply stopped listening to them? It isn't acceptable for parents to put rules like that on a 16 year old anymore, unless there is a good reason. You sound like you're a good boy anyways, so I don't see the issue.
Just tell your parents "sorry I'm meeting a friend" and leave the house.
Have you thought about just going out one time and returning quite late and then saying "look, I'm okay, nothing happened to me, I'm perfectly safe and no harm was done". Maybe that would gain you some more leeway?
I'd look for someone who is also Muslim (or a rather lax one as religious Muslims probably wouldn't want to be in a relationship) because they'll be more understanding about the protective parents issues. Or generally anyone who is understanding

What grades did you get btw :P
Haha, sorry but I don't think that would work, I think I'd be grounded for the rest of my life.
Its a tricky one- their house their rules I understand where they are coming from but still sundown is a harsh time to be in.
Could you get a job in the evening (maybe a supermarket) where there are girls to meet and then introduce the old 'oh I have a shift at work' excuse to get out and about. Sounds like a couple more years of head down and getting the grades and then at 18 get yourself off to uni/or your own place :-)
I wouldnt worry to much bout getting a GF at this point you have a whole lifetime to enjoy the girls!!

Hmm yeah, this is probably the best suggestion I've had. How do I go about getting a job in a supermarket though? Do I just hand in CVs or what?
