Why do my parents think that every girl I talk to is my girlfriend?

perhaps they're fishing out for information or perhaps they're teasing you. it's quite normal for parents to be like that. just keep your cool. my family is the same. every guy i bring home or visit the house or whom my family meets... they would think he is my boyfriend or at least something's going on. hehe i know they were just teasing and i'm used to that for a long time now that they've been doing it. what i get annoyed at is when someone asks when i'll get married.

It's normal to feel that way...At your age there expecting that you have girlfriends.. it's the time where guys have a lot of girlfriends. Their just concerned of what your doing...

My parents were the same and it irritated me always. They were too suspicious whenever a guy came to visit me at home or whenever I got a phone call. They were very suspecious whenever I came late from college. They even tried to over hear my telephone conversations with friends who were guys. I bet they would have searched my books or bags once in a while. I am from India. I think many parents in India take it this way.

i think it`s your faults too.you never tell to your parents or convince them that now you are single person and never think to make a relationship to any girl.simple i think. lets take a time with cofee or tea with your parents and say they is only my friends.

Hi Mrnishalgurung, I think this is a normal scenario in a home where there's a teenager of single in the family. your parents are just excited or curious to know if there's already someone special in your life since you're not introducing anyone yet. it might be irritating but just look at the other side of it and make it fun. if you are really affected by their consistent teasing and concluding about this then maybe it's high time that you tell them how you feel. they will surely appreciate it and will understand you and your concern!

Don't be miserable. It's either your parents are just teasing you or they want you to have a girlfriend already.

Don't you worry!This is the mentality of the old blocks and you can't help it.Just try to explain they are mere good friends and nothing more is cooking inbetween.If they can't understand,just neglect their views and continue what you are doing.A healthy teen world is emerging with good friendship which was not possible then in their age.It is generation gap.

May be it is their frame of mind. And for this they are saying like that. I also faced same problem. But it is solved. I think you have to make them understand that they are wrong. I think they will understand. It is temporary problem. It will be solved very soon.......

~ Hi! Maybe because it looks like that, and I think not only your parent think so. Mine were the same when I was younger and still at the high-school. Every girl I talked to, was my "firlfriend" according to them and I really felt strange sometimes, when they asked me, is that girl my girlfriend. Or maybe because they haven't seen you with a girlfriend?

It's never happen to me that my parents think that every guy I talk to is my boy friend. It happens with you may the reason that they are very possessive to you

This makes me wonder how old your parents are. I'm 50 and I understand that guys and girls can just be friends. I think your parents just want you to be happy but they need to understand that you don't have to have a girlfriend to be happy. I know it's annoying but they just want to know who is stealing their baby's heart. I know it's hard to understand but be happy that they are concerned about what is going on with you.
