This is probably going to sound a bit weird, but not really talking to my parents about this sort of thing, ever, is making me feel a bit uncomfortable..

I usually just tell my parents straight out that I've got a new bit of fluff. Though I can just as easily wait until my mother asks, since she is nosy as all get out.
Especially if it's very new.
I think someone mentioned just saying something like "I'm going to town with ...." - I'd just say that and wait for your parents to ask if she's your gf etc.
When I was 16 me and my girlfriend used to walk home together at night and we had a kiss and a cuddle outside my house. Well, till my Mam was out late walking the dog one night and came back and saw us.
They said they feel uncomfortable talking to their parents about it so thats the problem. You don't know anything about the situation. Don't belittle other peoples problems and if you haven't got anything useful or nice to say then don't bother saying anything at all, its not very helpful.
I always told my mam because we're really close, apart from once my new squeeze stayed over and I brought him to the breakfast table completly forgetting I hadn't told anyone about him! They were all like It was a tad embarassing, especially for him!
ill just drop it in, just know ill get the spanish inquisition
haha
ta!
what the hell?
Agreed.
Sofie you wouldn't like it one little bit if your threads were responded to in such a manner; luckily the OP agreed with you in this case that it isn't a big deal. But that won't always be the case.
It's true though - he really is making a big deal out of nothing.
Had it done plently of times before to me.
Even if you have been disregarded or given crap advice it doesn't mean that you have to extend the same goodwill to other posters. Obviously he didn't think it was "nothing" initially or he wouldn't have even bothered posting about it (?)!
i normally start talking about the person a bit first as a mate so they sort of know who they are/where there from etc. before i say were going out so then they don't ask me 100 questions about them when i mention them
good luck x
But at least she doesn't mind the gay thing, I guess.
As I have rarely in the past met a girl on her own with innocent intentions out of the blue, without a good reason, it becomes quite obvious.
"I'm seeing x tonight, byebye" is quite different from "I'm out helping a friend with her homework". Not that I ever help out with homework, but hey
