She says her parents won't let her date me

The trick is just keep her talking. If she asks you a question, answer briefly and succinctly, then immediately deflect back to her.

If that's really a "thing," it doesn't hurt to do your homework. I don't follow football, either, but I know I've always been impressed with the NE Patriots. I know the Falcons were the favored underdog team going into the last superbowl, even though I didn't know much about them. I know they're a southern based team, which was half the point so many of my friends cheered for them. But I still wanted to see the Pats win. And the actual game started out as a train wreck that made SB history in overtime. So, yeah, I was live-tweeting all the way through the game.

Not bad for a guy not really into football, right? It was fun.

So ask her about fav teams, her NFL or SEC predictions, what she thought about the superbowl, fav players, and maybe see if you can take her out to a game sometime. May be hard to do depending on what you want to do, like going to a Mississippi State or Ole Miss game, or even the Nola Saints or something. Just remember who she's fans of and start learning stats.

Why do her parents control her and treat her like a child? Is this some sort of religion thing? Some religions are against dating.

I would move on from this because this would be a deal breaker for me because I wouldn't want to date someone who lets their parents rule their life and still live by their rules when they are over 18. Sounds like she does want her own freedom and be an adult but doesn't have the balls yet to stand up to her parents and move out. Maybe she is afraid they will kick her out or disown her and she isn't ready to face that yet. Maybe she isn't ready to not have parents.

Speaking of saving someone, I tried doing that with both my ex's. I thought they would have happiness and their problems would go away after they have me because they would be happy because of the relationship they have now. I also figured if I helped them, they would be better people. No that is a therapist's job and you can't help someone, only they can help themselves. I have considered myself a white knight so that was why I had two bad relationships.

This was something I read in a book called The seven Dumbest Relationship Mistakes Smart People Make and one of them was about rescuing your partner. Guilty.
