How to convince parents to let me go out?

I want to go out tomorrow for valentines day with my girlfriend, but my parents won't let me. I've fed them every possible excuse and explanation but they won't budge. I NEED IDEAS. I don't want anyone telling me that they're my parents and I should listen to them, I've heard it all. All I'm looking for is ways to convince them. Thanks

    Well...

    If they have already said no, then there is no way they are going to budge, but there are some other options that you can explore.

    Tell them if they wont let you go out alone, how about they tag along, but they have to remain in the background. They can sort of chaperone from a distance.

    They wont hear your conversations, you still get to go on your date and they can still see you.

    OR

    You invite your GF over and have a picnic outside on the lawn or ask your parents to forfeit the living room/dining room for the evening and let you have your date. You make the place look pretty and you get some nice food, maybe a good movie. Hang out. If your outside, maybe roast some marshmallows etc.

    I know you probably already have plans with your gf, but unfortunately parents suck and they have stupid rules that sometimes makes no sense.

    Just try and be a little more creative and think outside of the box or in your case, in and around your home.

    Unfortunately, if your under the age of 18 there is nothing you can really do about it. I had the same problems as a teen and no matter how hard I tried to sweet talk my parents, it never worked...

    I agree along with your parents. ask your self why do you prefer to type?next, is it pleased with you to stay off on visual attraction with out working/giving to society? next, think of the sensation of whilst your older and once you cant furnish for your self anymore with the aid of fact of modeling's superficial standards, and being replaced through a youthful era based completely on their looks. answer those nicely and share the reaction along with your parents. On a extra be conscious, remind your self which you would be partaking in underlining the factors of the in demand media's concept of elegance, that's in all probability to crush many youthful females accessible who don't experience they meet those standards mandatory to be 'appealing'.

    If you've already tried so hard and nothing has worked, it sounds like you're out of luck. Idk how long you've been dating, but if it's been a while using that can help. When I first started dating my girlfriend, her mom was very weary of letting us go anywhere. Now today, almost 3 years later, there's not too much resistance when she asks to go out with me.

    if you have a friend that your parents like/trust, then make them ring them up and convince them that you guys are having a party or some guy time or even a college get-together. works with my friends.

    tell them that you wont do any hunky punky and tell them where you're going and what time you're going to leave and what time you'll be home.
