Today, I was having dinner with my boyfriend. We'd just got our food when my dad walks in, comes up to our table and says, "I didn't say you could leave, you're too young to be dating him", then drags me out of the restaurant. We are both 15, and it was my first date. FML

Make up your mind - was he your boyfriend or was it your first date?

I will save this idea for later lol

Its been said, but it seems more a matter of trust than age. I was lucky, my parents were of the mindset that they had taught us all they could and we should figure the rest out for ourselves and learn from any mistakes, they were also very laid back about sex so there was never any age limit in our home. I find the idea of an "age limit" for dating rather strange. Like I say, its more about trust than anything else - it sounds like you didn't run it by your parents. I don't know about you but most parents will be pretty relaxed about their kid going on a date if they know the details (i.e. time, place and contact number) but if you don't tell them anything then you're just asking to be seen as immature and not clued up enough for a relationship. I'm well into my twenties now and I still find the concept of "minimal dating age" strange. You need to make those relationship mistakes to make you a savvier person as well as a better person, you need to learn the difference between infatuation and love and you need to learn to prioritise and split your time between work, play and affections and yeah, we all laugh about it, all the "teenage ideas of love", as adults, but I'd rather have learnt all this stuff, as I did, as a young teenager, than as a person that's supposedly mature enough to vote and work. Because that's a serious developmental setback if you ask me. Basically OP. Your age is not the problem in my eyes. The fact is that you didn't inform the people who are responsible for your wellbeing of your plans so you can't blame them for being angry at you and you have basically just validated any concept they have of you being too young for romantic involvement.

actually, most parents are still extremely over protective, only few are lucky to get the laid back ones like you.

sounds like my father but good thing I'm a boy cuz he's strict with girls

You know, there's a chance that if you'd bothered to ask permission then he would have told you you could go under some conditions. My father was very protective of me at that age and that was the way he did it. If I just up and left with some guy he hadn't met my ass was in trouble, but if he got to meet the guy and got an plan of action from me then he didn't mind if I went.

how did you get to the resturant? did his parents take you there?

I think she meant by saying first date as the first time they go to a restaurant as a couple with her boyfriend. And what a horrible dafld you have!!

Quit your ******* complaining. He's preventing teen pregnancy. God knows that's what would happen after you guys left and let my taxes pay for the kid to grow up. Your dad did us all a favor. Your lucky your dad actually cares enough to put his foot down. Ungrateful bitch.

ok so out of this post you got the idea that they were already sexually involved? or going to be involved? Because I can remember some words like "first date" being said or do you just think she's a ****?

first date or not, more or less they'd end up doing shit, thats just the way society is. she lied to her dad or didnt "mention" it to him, sex is our nature and its even more our nature now to get pregnant at such a young age. they dont think before sex, like your parents didnt think before having sex and creating you. i bet your mom wishes she used birth control
