im currently in a long distant relationship, I love her so much and want to be with her for the rest of my life. but idk how to go about telling my parents about her since we met online, I live in Tennessee she is in Michigan so theres a lot of traveling involved when we want to me. but the thing is I have a fear of driving on the highway so if we do more than likely my parents will have to take me or a friend. but first I need to tell them about her... so please tell me if you've been in my shoes or how I can got about telling my parents please and thank you all so much.
Now my parents areaa little old fashion and don't trust the Internet at all.
Jay, not to sound harsh, but you are 23 years old (according to your profile) so be a man and tell your parents. Without any details about your relationship with them that is the best advice I have for you.
I am happy you have found the 'love of your life' online. I met mine online as well. She is also from Michigan. We are now happily married. She was nervous about telling her parents about me, also. I think it is because of our age difference and she wanted them to approve, but wasn't sure how they would feel.
Until you talk to them, you are not going to know their feelings on the issue.
As someone else has said, what it all boils down to is that you're an adult. You're in love. You treat this relationship like any other.
We're all nervous about our parents meeting our significant others no matter how close or how far away they are. If you feel the time is right, tell them.
As far as meeting up goes, why not book a plane or get yourself a Greyhound ticket? Friends are awesome and all, but you can't really expect a friend to drive you from Tennessee to Michigan and back multiple times, as I'm sure you're not planning on seeing her just once.
And if a plane ticket or a bus ticket is too steep, maybe she can find a convenient way to get to you.

My suggestion is a bit different, get over your fear of driving on the highway. This will take care of a lot more issues in your life than whether you should (or how you should) tell your parents about a girlfriend.
I too have a phobia of highways and have blacked out so I SO get your problem
I agree with everyone in the fact you are in love it is 2014 and a lot of beautiful partnerships happen first on the net
so tell them be honest you are old enough to do what you need
but also I agree with John...there are meds you can take to help calm the panic and the one thing I didn't do after blacking out was get out on the highway
so if you could just try with your parents to do one..exit just drive to one exit...until you feel safe that might help
I feel for you..but if this is the love of your life YOU have to be strong
yes parents don't get this new internet world
but in the end we just want our kids to be happy
best of luck honey!
I understand the pressure. Either u tell them and withhold the details or if u love him/ her enough you should just come out with it.
