Do you want to tell your parents that you have a girlfriend, but you don't know how to do it? Find out here!
Steps
Step 1. Be sure of yourself
Remember that it's just your parents and it's perfectly normal to have a girlfriend.
Step 2. Talk to your parents when you are alone with them
You should avoid situations where others might enter the room while you are talking to them.
Step 3. Start the conversation by talking about the school
Say something like: "I had a good day at school".
Step 4. Say the girl's name
If your parents don't know who she is, tell them all about her. If they already know her, start with something like, "Mom, Dad, take a guess! Do you remember Anna?"
Step 5. Don't use a sad tone of voice when talking to them
They'll think you're not happy with it.
Step 6. Try to be confident and happy
You are excited and you should show it.
Step 7. Tell him
Something like this should work perfectly: "Mom, Dad, take a guess! Do you remember Anna? Well, since we like her a lot, now she's my girlfriend!"
Step 8. Show them a picture of him
Step 9. Talk well about her with your parents
For example, tell them she has good grades in school.
Advice
- Make sure she really likes you before you tell everyone.
- Don't talk to them about it until you've been dating for a few weeks. It would be embarrassing to have to tell them you broke up shortly after talking about it.
- Do not be nervous. Remember, it's just your parents.
- Say "she is my girlfriend!" showing you proud and confident in yourself.
- Arrange a meeting between your parents and the girl, so they can get an idea of her.
Warnings
- You shouldn't have a girlfriend without telling your parents, even if you think they might not like it. You'll have a lot more trouble if they find that you've been keeping your relationship with her from them.
- If you think your parents won't approve of the girl, then it's best to take it easy. Mention her name from time to time and tell them how much you like her before revealing that you are dating her.
