Too Young To Date?
Sorry I have not been able to reply. So I was talking to my girl friend the
other day and I asked about telling her parents. Same reaction again, I push
a little further and she tell me why. She is worried about her parents
reaction because she worries that they will think she is too young. The
teasing from the boys has lessened, and the girls have almost stopped.
Another question about hugging, she seems to know what she is doing with it
when she hugs me. But when I try to hug her, I have no clue what I am doing.
She seems to be a lot more comfortable around me though as she used to.
Some of the girls that I know and are friends with are starting to say
things like: "You are too young to be dating" when in actual fact I am older
than them.

Dating can be a hard thing to do at your age!  Your girlfriend has every right to be concerned about her parents thinking she is too young to date, because they probably will.  Most parents do not let their children actively date until they are older and more mature.  Of course this is different for every household, but your girlfriend will probably know when the best time to tell her parents is. 

It's good to hear that your peers are leaving you alone, they seem to be getting used to you two as an item.  As for hugging, you will get the hang of it the more you do it.  Do not put so much pressure on yourself!  Let people think what they want to think and if you two communicate about your feelings everything will be fine:)
