Ok, so there's this guy I've know for a long time. He's my best friend's cousin and a really cool guy. He goes to my church, and is involved with a lot of things I do. This past weekend, our youth group spent a couple days on a trip and we went to a Jeremy Camp/Adie concert. He and I kind of hit it off when we were sitting together on the bus after. Then, the other day, he asked me to the movies. Even though that's all cool, something my mom said about him made me think "hey, what if she and dad don't approve of him?" I don't know what to do, because I want my parents approval and to make sure that they and any guy I date have a good relationship, but I also really like this guy. Any advice? Thanks  |

Welcome to the forums!!
Definatly ask your parents about him! Us girls are under the authority of our dads, until they hand that responsibility over to the guy you marry. Besides, if your parents don't like the guy and you still go out with him, you won't be honoring them! |

Ditto Liz, welcome!
I also think it's really important for parents to be involved, just because they've been there and done that, will be honest, and know what will be the best outcome for you in the end- half of my friends will just say "He's hott, go out with him," while my parents will say, "He's nice, but I noticed this... are you okay with that?"
It's fantastic that you care what you're parents think about him!!! Parents tend to appreciate that kind of maturity, too, and give more freedom, rather than less, to their child when they know that God at the center of a relationship.
Here is a hilarious link that might give you something to think about:

Hey! Thanks for the welcome and the advice... I also tried the link and it didn't work. I was talking to his cousin yesterday and found out something about him that made me uncomfortable. So I prayed for guidance and gave the situation to God. Then I talked to him and it turns out, this guy isn't all I thought he was. God answered my prayers in a way that I didn't think He would, but His plans are perfect (Jeremiah 29:11-12) and I trust Him. I'll keep the things you said in mind for any other relationships. Again, thanks for everything....

hmm, did the second one work? I copied and pasted, so I'm not sure what is wrong.
That's so cool, mckenna, that you have that faith to bring it back to God and let Him work it out!! I'm sorry it wasn't everything you hoped for, though |

yeah it's actually crazy how us girls can meet a guy and because of what we see or talk to him about, we think he's like "A"
but when we get to know him better down the line, we find out he's actually like "B"
lol.
But yeah... he definitely has to be approved by your parents because ultimately your parents know you the best and can tell (better than you can) who's a good matchup for you. |

Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
God Bless!
