He Never Has Time for Me!!!

Hey everyone, I really need some help with this.
My boyfriend, Luke, and I are having some problems, but he's so clueless he doesn't even know it! We are both 16, and he is a junior and I am a sophomore. He lives in a town a few miles away from mine and goes to a different school, which makes it hard for us to see one another, especially since neither of us can drive. Both of our parents are incredibly strict, although mine are a little more lenient since I've always been a responsible, trustworthy child, and he is adopted from a family that has had a lot of problems and he was once a pretty bad kid (although now he is just as sweet as can be). This causes some problems because when he calls, we are only allowed to talk for 10 minutes at a time! I don't have time to talk about ANYTHING in that amount of time (or at least anything important). He only calls me every once in awhile too. I do, however, usually see him once or twice a week, but it's always at my church or at youth group. Although I wish I could see him at places where we could REALLY talk, he knows nothing about me and I know very little about him, even though we've been going officially for 5 months and have been "seeing" each other for 7.

I really really want to talk to him about all this, but I just don't know how to tell him I need more time with him, or even when I would be able to! I'm not the kind of person who can start out a phone conversation with this or get it all resolved in 10 minutes. I see him out of church every once in awhile, but usually I just like to have fun, and not drop a bombshell like this if I can help it. I would really love to make our relationship more serious, but it really seems so impossible. What can I do? He is a wonderful guy and I don't want to break up if I can help it, so if you have any suggestions please let me know.
Thanks so much,
Jo

What about writing letters or emails? Your parents wouldn't limit that would they? It's not the same, but in addition to seeing each other, it might enhance your relationship until you can date more seriously. It's probably not what you really want right now, but maybe it would be something? Best wishes.
