writes: Dear Cupid,I am going out of my mind! The reason being I am 24,(nearly 25) and unfortunatley still living at home. The reason being is I am paying off a new car. This will be all paid up by early next year. I have met a new guy and he adores me so and makes me so happy and I think I am falling in love with him. I split up from a long term relationship a few months back from someone who didn't really give me the love and attention I deserved.Anyway my parents met the new guy last night which wasn't really planned. My parents are so hard to please and they thought that I shouldn't bother with him as he is a year younger and hasn't established himself in a career yet. He has an ok job and he is looking for something else with better money. The most important thing though is how much he cares for me isn't it? I cannot believe my parents (mother especially) are being so superficial!Things will be easier when I move out next year but at the moment I am hurt by their comments.x

my parents have known my bf since he was about 4. we got together 2 years ago and my parents told me they don't like him. they've got used to the idea of me being with him. he changed a lot of things before he believed he was good enough. he changed his job as a bar man and now works as a carer. your new bf is obviously trying hard to better himself. you are right, he cares for you and your parents have no reason to doubt that. as long as he shows what you mean to him, they'll come round but it may take time
