    I am not sure why you are not allowed to date till you are finished with university? But I guess whoever told you that probably only have your future and the best in life for you in mind. They are probably thinking that they are protecting you form something. But I also understand that they can not hold you in a little box till you are 24. I would be open with the person and explain to them that you like this person in your class. You need to date to experience what you need from a person and get the "social training" in order to find the right person for you. But you need to be honest. By going off and dating this guy in secret will only cause more problems. Like trust issues between you and both parties. I would not like it if someone lied to me about where they go and I would also not like to be someones secret. Don't be a rebel. Use your head and not your emotions. Play it straight. You still have a lot of years before you need to get serious with anyone. Life has so much to offer. Your whole world is in front of you and you are the only one who can make it or break it.

    If you like him,go for it. Just make sure that you only do what you want when you want not what he wants, whatever happens.I was 17 when I had my first boyfriend and I dont regret it no matter what happened.It helped me learn a lesson I needed to. 24 is a little too old in my opinion to wait,u need to do what is right for u though.

    You are you,and no one can tell u what to do.If its your parents holding you back,maybe sit down with them and have an "adult" chat with them.Tell them u don't think you should have to wait til you are 24, maybe they are worried you wont focus on your studies,but ultimately only you can worry about that,not them.They cant make u do the work if you dont want to.That being said,it is always good to respect your parents,and maybe you all can come to a compromise somehow while having this chat.

    You need to grow and learn from your own rights and wrongs,or u wont know how to think for yourself.It can be really difficult at times,but it shapes who we are.

    I say go for it,once you have a chat with your parents,and go slow.Theres no rush,u live your life the way u want.

    How come your not allowed a boyfriend?

    If its because of your parents id sit them down and talk to them about it and tell them that your old enough to make your own decisions even though you value their opinion its now up to you to make some of your own. and make sure you say that you will always put your studies first :) Good luck x
