  If online, why not u 2 just meet up and carry on a normal face to face relationship that u can bring home and let both side parents see and approve?

  If u 2 have met up in real life etc and hang out together for some time, even if u started online that is not a problem.

  Do not 1st outing with ur online bf/gf already be bringing the other party to ur home etc. Spent time time hanging out together and ensure that the person is really someone you like since some ppl have a different personality online and offline. Certain behaviors also cannot be observed without meeting the person.

  Have the parents meet the prospective partner.

  Arrange a session, where this prospective partner has to turn up to meet the parents, answer the parents questions and then proceed from there.

  If the partner never turns up, then at least you have some bonding session with your parents, maybe over a high tea.

  No parents will ever approve any relationship to have started, when they do not know who their child's perspective relationship partner is.

  Hi Rip1992,

  Please do pardon me if I am wrong; I assume that you are 17 years old this year. To be truthful to you, it will be very difficult for many parents to accept that their child has another half at this age, regardless of whether they met online or in real life.

  A lot will depend on the mindset of your parents and the mindset of your potential other half's parents. If you are to proceed with the relationship, you may have to expect the parents of your other half, especially if she is a girl, to lash out fiercely at you.

  Putting the mindsets of the parents aside, another very important factor will be how you present yourself to your potential other half's parents, and what is your parents' image of him/her. If you are able to present yourself well, their mental image of you may gradually change overtime, and accept you as their child's other half.

  Cheers.

  I assume u never met the person, i would rather advice u to meet him/her in real life and get to know him/her even better before even considering moving the relationship further by bringing him/her home to ur parents.

  U are still young so there is no hurry to rush the relationship and you should just bring the online relationship to face to face relationship before you even consider anything else.

  OMG your relationship have not even started and you are asking regarding what the parents will think? Don't think too much...you are not really attached to the person you just met on-line yet...

  Although theres nothing wrong or doesnt matter with knowing your gf/bfs through online, but you guys havent even got together. What approval are you talking bout man?

  Have you even met that person?

  i met this girl on a forum, and she also happened to be a friend's friend.

  we met for dinner, and had subsequent dates and all..

  now she's my wife. :)

  if you want to get approval for your relationship, just make sure your relationship is genuine and not just puppy love or just for fun. since you're so young, just focus on what is important in your life first, and that is studies/NS.

  if you've dated enough in real life, why is there a problem getting approval when go and see parents.

  If you haven't dated in real life yet, why do you need to get approval from parents to go dating?

  I disagree.

  Despite the 99.999999% (assumed) fail rate of teenage relationships that do not end blissfully in marriage, there is always that 0.000001% that does work out.
