-- Posted by Anonymous at 9:44 am on May 29, 2008 i don't really know how to start, basically...I've been talking to this girl on the internet over 3years we only meet once and now we are great friends now. One day her mom got talking and asked her who she was talking to on the phone blah blah (curiously). one thing led to the other and told her everything there is to know, which am cool about. now her mom wants to meet me be for she can let her come and see me, I'm 20 and she is 17. am ready to meet her mom but that is just half of the problem. the girl wants to meet my parents. the problem with that is, they are not as open minded as some so telling them how we started talking (on the internet), where she live (like 500miles away) is going to be very tricky and she told me not to lie a single story. my question to you is how should i approach them? how can i make them understand -- Posted by Corrupted Innocence at 9:12 pm on May 30, 2008 Oh long distance relationships can be difficult to reveal to parents, trust me I've been there. Personally you have to tell the truth which such things, whether or not they accept it is a different matter completely. Personally the best way to approach this is talk to your parents and say you met this really great girl, and she wants to meet you. When they start asking questions like how you met and other things be prepared with what you are going to say as it might not be the easiest thing in the world to do however it needs to be done. The approach, maybe just sit them down, like if you have a dinner all together maybe talk to them during the meal might be one way which might work for them. Telling them separately might be another thing as sometimes it's easier to deal with one parent rather than both at the same time. Also if they as to talk to her then let them, as they will probably be curious, and whatever questions they throw at you when you are talking about it all, you have to answer them with all honesty because lies tend to catch you up and bit you in the ass. -- Posted by Anonymous at 5:23 am on May 31, 2008 Thank you so much for your help, i really appritiate it. probably my plan is to sit with my dad talk to him and and just see what he and my mom got to say about it.  thank you so much again -- Posted by Corrupted Innocence at 1:11 pm on June 26, 2008 Hey wanted to see how things went on, feel free to tell me on this topic or in a pm.
