about an internet partner? Let alone, that they're the same gender than you physically (at least at the moment).
With my last partner, I didn't have a chance to tell them because they were drowning out my pleas and voice of reason. However, now that I'm with the person I actually love and I know I won't leave, I think I'm finally ready to admit that heeeey I've dated.. several people online.. and this one is final. However, I don't know when to say that. I mean, they'll be pleased that my partner is only a year and I think a half older than me, but I'm worried that they'll be a bit concerned about the online part. Not so much about the same gender, though, because they told me I could get with a chick and they'd still love me (OR SO THEY SAY). So? Any thoughts? Officially, including being on and off, Andi (JaneDoe) and I have dated for about two years. If you do not include that time, and only focus on when we got back together, it's been about two months. I'm wondering if I should wait until I'm older, so they'll be a bit more accepting that I'm dating, let alone dating someone online. At the same time, I really want to be able to express my love and.. Not have to call my partner just a friend. As it is, I'm very lucky I told my ROTC teacher that Andi was just an out of state friend because he told my mom in an email what I said about them supporting me joining the program--
tl;dr Been dating Andi for quite some time. Parents seem to be chill with gayness. However bc it's an internet relationship, I don't know when to open my mouth.
Before anyone says crap, yes I know I'm not going to get advice that is 100% right considering most users are young adults at most, but I'm curious. -
I believe you should wait just a little bit more. You are pretty young and things happen. And sometimes we think things are final but they really aren't. I believe you do love that person, but parents often think their children don't know what love is (at least at your age). In my opinion it would be best to wait for when you are 17, at that age you should know what you want exactly. Like I said things change and so do people. At that age your parents would probably be more understanding. I don't think Andi being the same gender will get in the way since your parents are okay with it. However, if you want to tell them now go ahead, and be confident with it. If they see that you are unsure they will be as well. ^^

it's not "reason" when your own child, a minor, wanted to get with a 20 year old, especially online (you know, where all the older people (16+) seem to "fall in love" with Dark LOL)
oh no, how dare parents care about the law and their child's safety!
to put the s--- toppings on a wonderful cake, you said you guys would wait until the time's right but nah
you decided to get with Andi after like 99.99999% of relationship failure, narcissism, and obvious abuse they exchanged (wait, isn't that signs of a- ;) I'll let you figure it out on your own)
watch when the cycle repeats or this love ecstasy will deteriorate within the duration of a few months, I'll give it a year or so if both of your delusions of thinking you will make it to the moon will crash and you'll collide back to earth, burning back to where it all started
I don't care. They should be parents, cut you off from all online relationships, and give you a lick of reality. But whatever they do, it's up to them. If you're getting into something supposedly "serious" (lol that's a rare thing you're striving for buddy) especially with dating someone, yeah, you should really tell your parents. Since they will not let you go until you're grown and the legal age of 18, inform your parents.
