     My girlfriend and I have been dating for six months (Everybody sing
Happy Anniversary).  Her parents think she is too young to be "going steady"
with just one boy (She's turning 16 in three days).  As far as her parents are
concerned, we are just "seeing eachother".  Either of us have the option,
in her parents eyes, to see other people.  Naturally, we just say that we
haven't met anyone else we find we like.  Now for the real stuff.  She 
wants to make sure that I am the guy for her.  The old "If it's meant to be,
nothing will change that" addage.  I told her I didn't have a problem with
that, and I don't (If I keep telling myself that, I might start believeing
it).  Anyway, she's going to start dating other guys, maybe one a year, tops.
She also said she didn't mind if I dated other girls at college, as long as
I told her about it, never brought them home, and didn't date any of her
friends. 8)  So, now that you know my life story, any comments? suggestions?
comforting thoughts?  I'd appreciate them.  Use the news net, or e-mail..
I'm not fussy.. thanks
