It's rather small, about thirty kids, and I'm friends with everyone who's going. At the last get together my crush and I hung out the entire time, and when I told him I didn't think I could make it he was upset and thought I should still try to show up.\n\n I asked my mom if I could go and she said no, not because she doesn't trust me but, since we are leaving the next morning to Jamaica. I fear that if I don't go to this party then it will cut things off with my crush completely. How can I ask my parents/what can I do to get them to allow me to go?\n\n Thanks,\n\n Eliza, 15\n\n Hey Eliza,\n\nBummer dude. Don't you hate it when your parents step in to remind you that, well, you have parents? Cue heavy girl sighing noise.\n\n Honestly, this one's easy: if your crush is so willing to walk away over something as lameatron as you not making it to a party, then your crush is being ridiculous. If he's a good guy - and, just to be clear, we want you dating a Good Guy - then he should show empathy and compassion in your time of parental annoyance. He should suggest another time for you guys to hang out, and work with you to make that happen. Plus, if he really wants you, your not making it to a party won't stand in his way.\n\n See, the thing is, when guys want something - heck, when anyone does - we're willing to work for it and wait for it. If this guy's not, then he was never that into you to begin with. While this might be hard to realize now, in the long run you're better off breaking the rules for someone who's really worth it.\n\nNeed advice?
