I think you should go slow on this one. SHe is very young. That does not mean that you cannot be friends with her in the classic sense, but no romance. Show yourself to be well-behaved and responsible over the next year or so, and you might win her parents around. Have a good look at yourself to see if there is anything about you and your friends that might be off putting. Remember, her parents want the best for their daughter. If you are prepared to show them that you, too, want that, then in a year or so, things could change.

The difference between 14 and 17 is huge, sorry. If you were 24 and 27 I'd say no problem. Just the age difference makes me think it's a bad idea.

Wait four years. If you two are meant to be together, it will work.

Give it some time, these things have a way of working themselves out. If you really want to pursue a relationship you have to show her father that both of you are ready. Yes that does sound corny but he most likely wants to protect his daughter because he may see you as a threat to her. She is 3 years younger than you which is a big age difference and he does not want his daughter taken advantage of. Just give it some time and it will figure it self out... meanwhile stay friends with her.

Maybe her dad has an issue because once you turn 18, it's officially illegal. There's plenty of not 14-year-old fish in the sea, dude. Don't make yourself a preditor name.

Right now (with her only being 14) she's TOO young for you. I know you may like her, and take care of her when her BF is a jerk (saw your comment to singwell), but 1) NEITHER of her parents approve; 2) She HAS a boyfriend, even if he doesn't treat her right; 3) YOU have friends her parents don't like (you can change that by changing friends). When you are 20, she'll be 17. It will be MUCH more acceptable, all-round, especially if you change friends, and "prove your worthiness". Keep protecting her around her BF. That may bode in your favor, but you need to hang back for a few years. Stay friends with her. Hopefully her parents will see you are honorable. Good luck. ;-)

Buddy love takes work, and sacrifice. You really like her, for what? If you love her tell her that your not going to mess around with any other girl romantically or physically for 3-4 yrs, and if she loves you to do the same thing. If needed just write letters, and visit each other at school. No drugs, sex, crime, and get A's or B's at school. Plan for a good career at college or trade school. If I really loved a girl my friends would be less important, so maybe find out what friends the father might approve of. Like everyone else said WAIT, get yourself and keep yourself on the right track. Ask this girl to do the same. If she screws up, and does not ask for forgiveness then end it. She has one chance because of her age, you have none. No physical stuff PERIOD, until she is of legal age, or parents consent, unless you want to go to JAIL. She has a boyfriend? Maybe she has made a choice already? Your friends did things that would make parents not want them to be around? FIND other friends !!! Your are blessed the parents even let you talk to her. Seventeen with bad friends, bad news for parents. If you go the Jail because of messing around with a minor, those in Jail are going to FUCK YOU UP little boy blue. I am a ex-felon not for a sex crime thank God. When someone in our prison found out about a guy that messed around with young girls they stuffed him in a cloths dyer and baked him alive. You don't like the father? Your not only not going to have to like the father, but learn to respect the father, and help her do the same. This does not mean that you/her have to agree with him but show civil respect.

You bet, and thanks for asking for help and not just diving right into something.... I would like to invite you into my head and think about something. I hear you saying that you like someone and she likes you. Correct? I would ask you this, are you looking for problems in your life or would you like to avoid them? If you choose to avoid them I would suggest you keep reading what I am saying and hopefully it will help you to see things differently? Maybe.... People seek others as companions and for sharing good times with correct? I would say they do. I ask you this, would you consider this person someone that will bring good times and keep you from being dragged into dramma or family problems? I mention family problems because if she has issues with her dad at this stage and age does seem to be a possible issue, than I would consider your options. 1. if you display interest to a 14 year old and others see and hear of it they might get jeolous and call the cops or her dad and make problems for you. 2. You like this girl and now you turn 18 and she is maybe 14 or 15, the laws in your state might make you now someone that can be arrested and charged with a sexual crime against a minor, something that will affect you and your whole family. Not Good! 3. You are going to be a senior soon and your friends are going to see you with someone in grade school and clown you for your choice. You need to be very cautious at this stage of your life, you are so succeptable to harming your future right now simply because of the laws that others have ordered into our society. The last thing I have to say about this is, what if you get this person knocked up and she is say 15 or worse 14. Now you are both unable to care for this child and in a possition that is going to affect so many of your family memebers that you might be kicked out of school and your home(s)? I would reconsider your situation and just give it some more thought. You will find that being 17 sucks at times and seeing that this girl is only three or four years younger, who would see the harm in it if you were 25 and she was 21? Knowbody would then, but you arn't there yet, and I would suggest don't rush it, it will be there and gone before you know it. :) Just looking out for ya bro.... God bless you and her...

hey just go slow with her.do you guys go to school together if you do just date there and it'll be ok.her parents won't know if you date there.

You're too old NOW. But that will change in time. Also, you need time to impress her parents on your integrity and good sense. Figure out what's wrong with your friends and find new ones. Be worthy of her, and you'll have an excellent chance when the time comes.
