Problem is, we only see each other at a monthly local youth-group-party for teens (where we met) because he is not allowed to date... His mom is almost overprotective of him, he has said to me if he even brought up the subject of dating he is pretty sure she would flip out. My parents are fine with it and my mom met him when she came to pick me up once. I know I am lucky to have him at all, but it is excruciatingly hard to be away from him for so long... We talk on the phone a lot, but he does not have his own cell phone so that's only for half hour chats a few times a week, he doesn't have IM or Facebook either which just makes things harder... Sometimes I just break down and cry because I just want to go to a movie or hang out and play video games like a normal teen couple and we can't. This is the first relationship for both of us... What do we do? How could he bring this subject up to his mom?

My suggestion is to find a guy who is your own age and is able to do the things you want, can relate to your needs, and all that an older teen needs and wants. Maybe you should think about a part-time job to take up some of your time, or volunteer at a senior center. This young man's family is quite over protective but that's okay. He is young You did not mention his grades, his other interests, such as sports, nor anything about your life - other than to profess a "love" for this kid! That's what you have a kid just maturing into a young man, and this takes growing up time. I cannot see how you two are even coming from the same place other than if you are very immature. Take a look at yourself and decide why you want this much younger person in your life.
