How old are you? What would happen if you did tell them - what do you think their reaction would be? How long have you been with your boyfriend?

Hmmm in sort of same position, well I have been. Im going out with a boy a lot and i think my parents have maybe clicked.

Edit: how come you think your parents are strict on that sort of thing? have you had a b/f before?

Im 16 and ive only been with him for 2 weeks but I can't hide it forever :redface:

My mum and dad wouldn't react badly I don't think, it's just.. how do you bring it up in conversation? Will they get the hint if I just go out with him to a lot of places?

When you're going to see him, tell them that you're going to see X. If they ask who he is, say he's your boyfriend. I'd tell them soon-ish.

Yeah. If you think it's going to cause problems cover it up with a nice white lie.

I'm 18, had three boyfriends and I've only told them about one of them.

And that's only because I'm at Uni and it's not like they wouldn't be understanding I dunno, I wouldn't want them to think I was having sex or whatever and then inetergate me.

Can I just add, that I have known somebody for 3 years and never told my parents that I was communicating with him. It's a bad thing to do. I think it's much better out in the open. However, I told my parents on Saturday and yesterday and - it was easy for my mum to handle, but not my dad. This is coming from an 18 year old! Maybe yours are much more understanding - and if you tell them earlier on, they will trust and respect you more for being open, honest and having the ability to confide.
At 16, you are bound to want to mix with boys, it's a natural thing, and they should empathize with the situation. Just tell them you have met somebody and you get on very well so have decided to be together and see how things go. They will think it mature of you to confide.
Shame I left it so long. I am an only child, so much harder to inform.

Thankyou everyone for your help :tsr2:

Plan is to just tell my parents he's a friend, don't know why I didn't think of it before.. just guess I thought they weren't gonna fall for it! But they might, so yeah it's worth a try! :biggrin:
