There's this guy i love more than anything else in the world. we're great friends and we each know there's something going in the other's mind. he;s younger than me by a year. only problem is: his parents saw us chatting together and got really mad and cussed him for hours and hours. they've told him things about me too. now we only keep in touch on facebook. i miss him so much but i feel like i may never have a future with him. i don't know what made his parents react the way they did.

thank you, kenj & heartbroken101 .

I don't know how to reply to ur answers so i'm posting my reply as another answer. :D

well, it's true they control him a lot. his mother even hits him when she gets angry. his dad likes us a lot though, and he smiles and talks to us nicely, though I don't speak to him much. if they think i'm not good for him... i don't know.but it could be the studies thing too, cos he's only 17 and i'm 18.

and it's not the one year older thing, cos even his dad is a year younger than his mom.

I don't know what to do. I love him so much. it's so depressing, thinking of this. but i want to thank u both for taking the time to answer to my problem. thanks. :D

Kenj agony auntThey may not think your good enough for him and I dont mean that in a nasty way.

Some opinions can be clouded if people judge without knowing the other person first. Its classic, I see it all the time.

Other reasons could be religious or they think their son should finish university before finding a girl friend.

They are controlling him rather than letting him make his own way in life and find his own boundries and make his own mistakes.

The parents would argue they are doing it out of love and want the best for their son.

It really pisses me off when I see people trying to control others. Its immature.

Hope it works out for you.

heartbroken101 agony auntit could be their beliefs possibly? maybe that your a year older...some families don't believe an older girl (even one year) should go out with a younger boy. depends also upon how old you are and maybe the fact that he didn't tell his parents? you could try talk to them possibly or hang out as friends and go to the movies. if you haven't met his parents i think it would be polite to meet them first before hanging out....so as to calm their nerves a little. goodluck
