SHE DOESN'T NEED HER PARENTS PERMISSION TO LOVE WHO SHE WANTS!! she pust herself in this "situation".
she put herself in the "situation" because she is a 13yr old girl who is trying to grow up. She doesn't need her parents permission to love who she wants, your right. However, she needs to live her life and find out what love is first before settling into a serious relationship with a 17yr old man. Here is the difference, she is a girl and you are almost a grown man. HUGE difference...HUGE. Think about this please. If you really cared about her and loved her like you say you do, let her go. Let her grow up, live her life as you wanted when you were 13. Let her be a teeny bop and go to sleep overs and drool over rock stars and start shopping for bra's. While you are learning the ropes to adult hood as you should be. If it is true love. You will in time cross paths and be together.
I do want to get in the good graces of her parents, believe me, thats one of my highest priorities. One of the things I want the most is for us to be accepted by everybody.
You know how your going to get in the good graces of her parents? Leave her alone. Let her grow and let her move on with her life. You show no respect for her parents, why should they like you or even approve of you. Age does matter in this situation. I'm sorry, I know you hurt and I know it's hard but you really need to get a grip on yourself here and for both your sakes you need to let her go.
And yes, it is behind her parents' backs, but that's only because they won't even allow her to be where I am. If they would stop being so overprotective and hypocrytical, things would be so much better.
They love their daughter. You will not understand until you are a parent someday. We as parents don't want to make our children miserable, we want them to have everything in life that we did not have. A chance at a good education, a good job and then a good family. Not marriage at 16 and struggling through life with nothing and going nowhere tied down with kids at 18. I don't care if you say your not sexually active right now or not, there is noway that if you don't stop carrying on with her withing 6months to a year you will become sexually active out of attraction and lust. Things that get mistrued for love. Then what, oh wait she will be 14 so then it's ok? No it's not. Again, you need to let her go.
All I want is acceptance, nothing more.....nobody, and I mean NOBODY will stop us from seeing eachother, and that's all there is to it. Not her parents, not mine; not her friends, not mine....nobody. And yes, I have had some thoughts about marrage,
Ding! Ding! Ding!!!! Dude she is 13 and you are having thoughts of marriage.....she has only had her menstral cycle for maybe 1 - 2 years...she is just becoming a young woman. You are ready for committment or think you are, her she is just starting to figure things out. You need to let her go.
I was actually planning on talking with them to make them hate me just that much less. I want to show them that I'm not such a bad person, and that I have no wrong intentions toward their daughter.
I'm sure you don't have any wrong intentions but i gaurantee talking to them will not make them like you or make them change their minds. You could be a rich kid that looked like doogie howsard MD and there is not a chance in HELL they are going to approve of this and why because she is 13!! What don't you get about that...dude....let her go.
My main goal is to show them who I really am....
Why don't you do just that, be a man and show them who you really are....let her go and they will respect you much much more. they will not take you for a silly kid who is trying to influence their daughter or a silly guy that is trying to ruin their daughters life. They will look at you as a man and someone who has respected them and their daughter. If it was I, I would much rather be the second option.
Most of all, you have to rest your head down on your pillow at night, as does she. Sometimes you need to let go of something you love so much just to do the right thing and to let life take it's cycle. You need to think past your selfishness here, you need to start thinking more clearly. You need to let her go.....
