Do you remember when you were little and your mom and dad were your true protectors? Anytime you were scared or unsure they'd swoop in to make it all better.

Well, now you're all grown up but your parents may still be playing the role of decision maker in your life. If that's the case, at the very least, don't let them decide who you date.

Parents may have strong opinions but ultimately you're the one who has to spend all your time with this person.
