My girlfriend and I, both 15 but she is a month older, have been going out for about a month and a half now and so far I've had a great time. She hasn't told her parents about it up until recently and she's always had to sneak by, they found out about us going out because they saw a picture of her and I and she had to tell them. Ever since, they have bothered her about me with questions and worry about her being with me at all, god forbid at my house. Anyways I really like this girl, she is like the prettiest girl in our grade at the very least, lots of guys want her, even my best friend tried to get with her while I was away...I don't intend on doing anything she doesn't want to do and I always respect her decisions as she does with me. We just don't get to spend that much time together, almost never alone, and me and her both really want to spend more time together. Now I'd like to say I'm doing pretty well in high school, a mostly A student, I have a little higher than a 3.7 unweighted gpa only because I got 2 B's my freshman year, but now I have only one in an AP class, nothing lower than that. I am also a year and in some cases 2 years advanced in classes I'm taking, so I take almost all of my classes with Juniors and Seniors as a Sophomore so for example I will be in a college Calculus class by junior year. I play two sports, Soccer and Lacrosse, and me and her both have the same soccer coach as she plays too, and he always speaks very highly of me and I also weight lift regularly to keep fit. Also I am very musically talented, I can play classical and jazz piano and percussion, and am active in National Junior Honor Society. I have done some early interviews at Stanford and Cal Berkeley as well as the Air Force Academy which are right now my top 3 college choices. I am very disciplined as well, my dad is an Ex Air Force Officer and Wall Street investor out of MIT so I come from a well off disciplined family. Now I have no idea how to convince my girlfriend's parents that this is who their daughter is dating right now, they assume that all teenage guys are pigs and that I am no different. I met them once as a friend and told them some of this but they kind of waved it off, maybe because as a friend they didn't care so much, and my girlfriend is hesitant to bring me over again because she has never brought a guy over alone. What's the best way to convince them that I'm different? Is it out of the norm to invite them over to my house? Is it beneficial or not to bring up all of those things about me? Thanks! I was always very insistent on meeting her parents but she was always too afraid to tell them about us because she knew they would act the way they are now and I wanted to respect her decision....
