My first relationship ended like two years back and I haven't been in a reasonable one since then. I meet people online cos I don't get to meet them offline, most of the guys I meet are based in different state from mine and they don't mind me visiting, but once I tell them I live with my parents and would need their permission to come visit, they just stop getting in touch. I have lost over 5 potential partners because of this, they all feel we should be comfortable with ourselves first before putting parents matter into it. Some don't see it as a big deal living with my parents, they just find it funny that they wouldn't allow me go visit my boyfriend(note that they wouldn't know him bfr I go visit) I can't even think logically anymore that's why I am here to ask Wether the problem is with me or them. The only one I met that has travelled to come visit me is verbally abusive. He met my mum and wants things done the proper way. I am really exhausted. I guess gone are those days where you have to meet your potential wife in her father's house. I told my mum I want to start attending youth church and she object to it saying I can only change church after I get married. My sisters are lucky tho, they got a job outside our state and moved out of the house ![cry](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cry.gif) talk to them and let them know how worried u are about it.

I have lost over 5 potential partners because of this, they all feel we should be comfortable with ourselves first before putting parents matter into it. 1. Refer to bolded #1; it's normal to ask your parents. Is their answer Always a No? If yes, they are being over protective or maybe its an extreme religious thingy. If No, you are a baby in relationships cos they know you'll definitely ask if it's the first time. 2 Refer to bolded #2; you haven't lost anything, they were not meant to be. A person that loves you will try and assess your state and work in solving any problems with you. I will reserve the remaining comments for the relationship experts 1 Like |

Did you even listen to me. The guy has no business coming to see your mom till he's ready to start the marriage process.
He should get himself a hotel room in town to spend his nights. You only go to see him at an eatery around your area and discuss with him and find out everything about him.
The rest other discussions can be on whatsapp chat till he's ready to bring his people and come and officially see your parents.
The only avenue he has to physically meet with you is in an eatry till he sees your parents with his family members and formalize his intent. LOL is this one talk |

Many girls don't value the protection being rendered to them by their parents, until they fall prey to wolves in sheep's clothing! For now, you should be preoccupied with how to: procure admission into a tertiary institution of learning, Learn a vocation; get a stable means of livelihood! Then, by default, other things will follow suit. Your mom was once your age: she has more experience about life than you do! My humble piece of advice! 2 Likes |

Except they have certain misgivings and distrust about your person. It's advisable one socializes especially when in a social environment like school, but some will remain enclosed in classrooms chasing Gp and forming too holy. You seriously need a man now but your choice is not forthcoming. unfortunately, it's weird to express yourself towards a man you possibly like because of its un-Africaness. Online can not give you a responsible man either. In all, be polite always. |

Forget about those animals that run from you when you tell them you live with your parents. Those are not men or humans. They are demented, destructive beasts. You are far off better without them.
Yes, the curfew given by your parents is right on track. If you had friends ( friends in the realest sense) your parents knew well and trust, they would have allowed you spend a night at their place. But you say you are an introvert so I don't know how that's going to happen.
My advice for you is to try and put yourself out there. Any one you meet online must meet you at a public place and not private. Be careful with online peeps though....socialise with sense. Don't be desperate.
Above all, use your time now to huzzle and get that cool cash to be financially independent and travel out because trust me, these same parents you say are overprotective will one day want you out of the house.
You can worry about man when the opportunity arises and you meet a decent man/human being (with brain nuts tightly screwed) that won't be afraid of meeting your parents regardless of where you live. 4 Likes |

Firstly, they only retreated because their plans wouldn't work with your parents knowing your whereabout. Secondly, I'm not in a school of thought that says " introduce your gf/bf you just met to your parents and siblings" that should be done when you are such he is the one. Matured guys who actually ready for marriage are looking for your type of girl but young folks who wants to just have fun wouldn't buy the idea of you being with your parents.

Hey don't let that bother you! Living with you parents isn't a bad thing.. Although I know how parents can be, especially when you are in the same house with them. But the fact is that, any guy who stops communication with you cos you still live with your parents or because you need their permission to go out does not have good intentions for you.
Every reasonable person should understand that parents will always be protective of their children no matter their age.
So my advice to you is to take it easy on yourself, don't get angry or hate your parents... Just do your thing and one day you'll have a good reason to leave the house. Maybe via school, work or something... Just remain positive.
