Young people are rightly concerned about whom to date and whom not to date. Get a good date, and you have fun, your parents approve, and your friends welcome you to social affairs. Get someone your parents and friends dislike, or someone you don’t find companionable, and you can have a miserable time. Sometimes it also happens that the person your parents consider a fine date leaves you cold, and the one you would like to date just doesn’t rate with your friends and family. Then what?
WHEN PARENTS DISAPPROVE
Whether they know your date or not, your parents may disapprove of him or her. They may not like your date’s family and background. They may believe that there is too great an age difference between the two of you. They may be concerned about differences in religion, nationality, or social and economic background. They may have heard something unfavorable about your date or his family. Or they may disapprove of anyone in whom you’re interested, simply because they don’t want to see you involved with anyone yet. Whatever the reasons for parents’ disapproval, the problem is a real one.
Young people themselves generally agree that dating on the sly is not a good solution to the problem of parents’ disapproval. Someone is sure to discover the situation, and parents become doubly aroused over the deception. Defying your parents and dating the person of whom they disapprove is apt to be unpleasant for everyone concerned. Yielding to parents’ wishes and refraining from dating anyone of whom they disapprove can be limiting; sometimes, unfortunately, even prejudiced and restricting.
