Ok. I guess you can say my parents are kinda old fashioned. As in really old fashioned. I don't even know when I am allowed to date. The thing is I'm kinda too scared to ask. As in really scared to ask. I know that you guys are going to say just ask them. But my parents are much different than yours. They hold high expectations for me (as in straight A's, no detention, and NO BOYS). I don't wanna use the excuse that everyone has one, because come on...my parents are just gonna say "If everyone jumped off a bridge would you?" I don't even think that my parents know that I even like guys...as in like like. They don't let me hang out with guys. If they were to know that I call guys they would flip.

As a teenager of this century I think it's kinda hard to have parents from last century. And it doesn't help that my parents are Haitian. There are like a million and one rules when it comes to having Haitian parents. You can't do this, you can't wear that, you can't talk like this, you have to respect that. I just want to be like a normal teenage girl.

It's not like I just want to date for the heck of it. I actually have this boy in mind. He's really nice, funny, cute, and smart. Yea I know he's got the whole package. Anyway I know he likes me. But he's just to shy to ask me out...well he kinda did in a way. He asked me to go to the movies with him...but he didn't use the exact words "on a date" or "as my girlfriend" or anything. But I'm pretty sure he would've asked me out if I went with him. But of course I had to turn him down because if I were to ask my mom, she would have murdered me. brought me back to life.. and then make me clean up the mess =[ yea she's pretty harsh. My point is I don't want him to ask me out and I have to say no because I'm not allowed.

So I know this was kinda long.. but the bottom line is how do I get my parents to let me date (keep in mind that they're very strict) without them blowing up at me.
