It depends on their religion. Well not really both of theirs, just the mothers. See the father will be the hardass and enforce the policy but that’s just because his balls have been in a vice for many years and have learned not to go against the Mrs.

So here’s the general way to work around this solution which works with the large populous of parents. Guilt. Basically you keep doing a bunch of good stuff without asking for anything in return. Then one day you will ask them to do this one little thing , and you Will Not Mention the good things you have been doing as part of your argument to go on the date because you really want it to appear that you were doing this out of the kindness that is you. They will probably say no, but then will start to feel guilty because you have been doing so many good things lately that they will change their minds a couple days later when you ask again.

If all else fails just invite the person you want to go out with over to study, and do it in the living room or the kitchen so you can be seen/heard since they will start to trust this person who’s making you want to study all of a sudden!!!!
