I have been flirting with this girl from school and gave her signs I am interested in her (and vice versa), but her parents are strict when it comes to boyfriends because she is an only child. What do I do? Oh, and by the way both of her parents are geniuses, so it may be hard to outsmart them.

Jamer70 agony auntLike kenny said be respectful to them and especially their daughter. Be polite, be nice, use your Ps and Qs. Show you are not a 'playa' and that you care for their daughter and that you will treat her right. Follow their rules no matter how strict they are, and soon they will ease up and trust you.

Also its never good to 'outsmart' them, just play the game you should play anyway

Hi! As a girl, i know how my parents want a guy to be around them...

Basically parents are rally good at knowing when you are trying to outsmart them. DONT do it, ot goes down REALLY badly!!!

THe best thing to do is to get to know hr parents, be friendly, and interested in them, have normal conversations with them. Try to get comfortable around them and actually make friends with them. Then they will see that you are really a good guy and not going to use their daughter. Really, they just have her best interests at heart adn want to protect her.

The best thing I can say is be willing to hang out at her house, and even with her and her parents. I know it doesnt sound that much fun, but it shows them that you are trustworthy. Say, if you want to watch a film, ask her mom if she wants to watch with you, and then dont be ALL over your girl. Affection (an arm around her, holding hands) is fine but not full on making out. It shows her parents that you can contol yourself and actually like hanging out with your girl, not jsut want her for sex.

Well... i hope this helps, any more questions jsut ask!!

sorry its a bit long winded...

Helen Help! :) agony auntHey

1st let things develop with the girl theres no point in worryin about her parents if ur not with her that long its when things get mmore serious that you meet ther parents. Well all you have to do is show them that you respect them listen to what they say and they will probably have rules that you pair will have to follow if you stick to these then ull probably be aloud to date their daughter. When you meet them be polite sit with there daughter but dont hug or kiss or anything infront of them holding hands though is probably fine dont make any stupid jokes or sarcastic comments or make fun of their daughter you could tell them what you really admire most about her tell them that you really like her and let them know that ull look after her. Oh if you shake their hands on arrivel and introduce your self to them when you first get there that will make a great impression and when you leave say it was lovley to meet them, no matter how the evenin went good luck dont worry to much all thyll want is for there daughter to be happy :)

kenny agony auntIt is only natural that parents are going to be protective of their children, & more so as she is an only child. They have got her best interests at heart and only want the best for her.

All you can do is show them that you are a nice guy and not a jack the lad who is going to take advantage of their daughter.

Be on your best behaviour, be polite and show respect, and there is no reason why they shoulden't like you. So they are geniuses, by this i take it you mean they are qualified in a certain field, well your aim here is not to outsmart anyone, the aim is to just be yourself.

Good luck
