...See more Im a 17 year old girl and I'm in my first relationship with a guy. He asked me out back in August 2016 and I was really insecure about the whole relationship and ended up literally running away from him when I saw him coincidentally in a public place. We then decided that we should break up, hoping that it would make it easier the transition to me being in a relationship and actually being able to understand that someone likes me romantically. We continued talking during those month and then on Halloween we decided to hang out together. He ended up standing me up and I told him that we should just stay friends since this relationship thing doesnt seem to be working out for us. He agreed and we ended up not talking for a month after that. (Just a little side note: During the short time that we dated, we never went on a date or even saw each other IRL. I texted him but he ended up rarely responding to any of my texts literally the next day after we started dating. It made me really insecure about how he actually felt about me and that I was doing something wrong. I never discussed this insecurity I had with him. I didn't actually discuss any of those worries or any personal feelings with him. I just didn't know how and I was scared that if I started talking about serious stuff that soon into a relationship it would scare him off.) So its around the end of December 2016 and he starts texting me again. This time he started initiating the conversations and wasn't ignoring my texts at all. A couple days after that he ended up asking me out again. We talked about the previous time we were in a relationship and he said that he ended up acting the way he did because he felt as though he wasnt good enough for me. I told him that I would think about getting back into a relationship with him and after I thought about it for a couple days I told him yes. It started off really good. We texted all the time and we both initiated a conversation about the same number of times and it started to actually feel like we were dating. My mother doesn't approve of me dating him again and I think that she is the only family member that knows me and him are dating again. My mom isn't very open to me dating in the first place due to a fear of me getting pregnant like she did when she was a teenager. Because of this I havent felt comfortrable talking to my mother about my relationship at all. My boyfriend has tried to schedule dates with me and ask if he could talk to me on the phone several times but I told him I couldn't each time. I really want to but I just don't feel as though I can do anything that involves my boyfriend because my mother doesn't approve and my dad would freak out and probably have an anxiety attack or somthing over it. The past couple of days, my boyfriend hasn't texted me as much and we don't hang out around each other in school as often as we do. We basically haven't spoken a whole conversation in a couple days. I've texted him a couple times and he rarely responds. Idk if its because he's busy or if he is feeling insecure again or if i did something wrong. I want to talk to him about it but I really dont know how to initate a converstion like that. I also would like to know how to discuss my relationship with this guy to my parents and make them feel more comfortrable dating.
