(I need to let them know because I’m currently living at home for the summer before my second year of uni starts in sept). So I’ve been seeing him for months since jan and actually we knew each other since we were 10/11 years old. So he isn’t a stranger. Anyways, since he’s going to the US and he has asked me if I’m able to go to the airport with him and also accompany his mum on the drive back from the airport. I have a feeling that my parents might be against the idea of me sending him off. I really want you thought, he’s a really great guy and I really like this guy. Im not sure if you can define seeing each other as dating, but whatever the definition is, I do really like him and would like to send him off. How should like convince my parents to let me to send him off? I’ve shared my concern with 2 friends of mine and they both advised me to just go to the airport as long as you have transport covered which I have. Just a minor bump on the road is the parents. Any ideas on how to convince them?Thanks a lot! xx

Don't start following the advice of your friends when it entails disobedience, or disrespect of your parents. If you're not on restriction or being punished; or they haven't forbade you to see him, just go! Invite your friends to come along, and you all can see him off together!
If anyone needs to know, you were with your friends seeing a friend off at the airport! Done deal!

I thought of just like informing them that I’m sending him off but I just hope that they won’t say no and stop me.

 If you feel you need their approval, then JUST ask and respect whatever decision they give you.
You don't know that they would tell you no. You have a "feeling" they might.
Some people say it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission, and for some that work. It all depends on what kind of relationship you have with your parents.
Would you feel it would be disrespectful to just do it and tell them later? or not a huge deal?
