Today, I told my parents about the amazing guy I met. My mom immediately stormed out. My dad got up, looked at me and told me he's disappointed in me for "falling into the traps of the Internet," and leaves. I didn't meet him on the Internet. FML
littlekellilee tells us more.
Hey, I'm the OP! I'm 26, and my parents can be a little protective. I think they're worried that something will happen to me and they won't know who it was that did it. They're actually really amazing people. I chatted with them about it once they calmed down and everything is okay now, though they're still nervous about not knowing him. Thanks for the comments, everyone!

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

They can't put anything on the internet that isn't true. I heard it on the internet. :D

Did you clarify this? I'm sure they'll come around sooner of later though.

My family was like that about meeting dates/friends online. I was grounded from texting and Facebook for almost a year because of it. Thank god I'm 18 now!

Yeah, curse your parents for being good parents.

I wasn't cursing them. I just thought maybe my punishment was a bit overboard. And yes, they are good parents. They made sure I was being safe. I told them who I talked to and had them talk to the people themselves. They calmed down now that I'm of age. That time I was grounded for nearly a year was when I met a friend of a friend. My girl friend knew him personally, so I talked to him on Facebook and invited him over. My dad met him and everything. I had an adult with me the whole time. It was my mom who flipped out and told my dad to make sure I didn't get on Facebook and had my texting privilege taken from me. Wouldn't you think that's overboard since I let them know about him and had supervision the whole time?

wtf that's crazy stupid of your parents. I can understand them not wanting you to meet people online especially if you are under 18, but being angry just because you like someone makes no sense at all. Even if you did meet the person online, I don't see what's wrong with that as long as you are careful and have a first meeting somewhere public and safe. I met my boyfriend on a dating website and we've been together for over a year now. I can see how my parents wouldn't like that if I was under 18, though.

I would probably say, not the internet.

Some people just simply don't understand the world. The best thing you can do is to bring this guy to introduce to your parents, and then tell him in front of them that according to them he is the internet.
