I need advice/ help... does anyone have any ideas?

I'll try %26amp; sum this up best I can. I've met the complete love of my life, he is amazing in every single way. I love every minute I am with him. There is such a glow about him. He is such a great guy, he went from being really bad and going the complete wrong direction, but then completely turning his life around, getting back into the church and doing great with life. I've done the same. I have completely turned my life around as well. He makes me want to be a better person. I am more into the church than I have ever been before. I love it so much. Here is where the problems come in. Josh is almost 24 years old, and i am not yet legal. I know you are able to date someone over 18 with a parents approval. But I am not sure how to go about that. Josh and I have kissed. We made the mistake of keeping it be hind my moms back. She found out, and we are now not aloud to see eachother anymore. It is getting so hard. Josh is very mature, and respectful. He is very willing to wait until i'm 18 if worst comes to worst. But that is definitely not something we would like to have to do. We are amazing together. We've known eachother for a while now and we connect perfect, our personalities are unbelievable together. The both of us have continuously prayed about us. We both get a very sure feeling that we are meant for eachother. Along with a lot of his family. They all love me, and us together. They say there is something special about us. But the problem is not knowing how to go about getting my mom to like him and approve of us. He wrote her apologizing for everything. And she is just more worried, she doesn't know him and so she has no idea what to expect. I am her last baby girl, which only makes the concerns higher. We have no idea how we should get my mom to approve of us. And it is beginning to get really hard, not being able to see eachother is making us more sure of what we want... eachother, but it also makes it very hard, emotionally. I just want to be with my love. I want to be able to be in his arms at all times. And he feels the complete same way. We are having such a hard time with this. We have a lot of faith, but that doesn't stop us from hurting. Please anyone and everyone, help me out. I need ideas, anything helps. Thank you so much.I need advice/ help... does anyone have any ideas?
You should tell your mother how you feel because if you keep undercover you'll wind up hurting someone. Oh and ask God for guidence He always has an answerI need advice/ help... does anyone have any ideas?
i think that you should try to set up a dinner with your mom him and his mom or dad.


that way your mom will feel more comfortable once she gets to know him.


but if not then i would just wait till your 18


true love waits
';she doesn't know him and so she has no idea what to expect.'; I think that is your main focus: so far I think your mom hasn't gotten the chance to really know your boyfriend. If she could see what you see, I'm sure she'd like him and accept him into both of your lives. Ask your mom how she'd feel if you invited him over for lunch or dinner one day. Maybe the two of them could talk one on one. Have you tried explaining your feelings to your mom? Like how you make eachother a better person? Maybe you could remind her of how she felt when she was your age and if she had a similar situation. Good luck to both of you =)
My friend had the same promblem except were younger but it was the same issue. I would say go with him. Love is so special to find. You sould never throw it away. Yer mom will understand but u sould talk to her about it. i hope i helped
I say wait until you're 18. Don't stop communicating, but cool it on the romance until you are legally an adult. If he truly loves you and you truly love him, you can forsake all other offers for each other. I'm afraid you might never be able to bring your mom around. Then again, there is always emancipation... if you truly are mature enough to take care of yourself. I'm not saying that you can't talk to your mom or that she's completely unreasonable. But, I have a daughter and I am saying this from a mother's point of view. She's never going to truly accept this until you are 18. This young man of yours is... well... a man and you are a child. He should wait until you are 18. Any guy who wouldn't is a pervert anyway. I also think there is a better solution to her getting to know him than shoving him down her throat.
I think in your situation, especially being active in church, you should wait until you are 18. That way you will be able to legally make your own decisions about what you want in life.


Honestly though, %26amp; I hate to be a brow-beater; but I believe there is too much of an age difference between you two. I am concerned he is just plying his trade, that he is using his knowledge ( %26amp; experiences) in dating women etc. merely to get w/ you.
This answer is neither going to please you or comfort you. You have to wait until you're 18 to date him. Proof of sex is not without burden but the courts will believe your moms suspicions over your objections. If she has a bone to pick with him she can also have him branded for life as a child molester. It's not nice and it shouldn't happen but it can. If you two are truly sure you're meant to be together wait until you are 18 to continue seeing him. It's very selfish of you (and I know you're not trying to be selfish, honestly) but to put your own needs and wants over what is good for his future life as well as your relationship together as a couple.
