What do you do?

Secretly date him!!! who cares wut ur dad thinks... srry all respect for ur dad, but parents arent always right. often they are, but not always. if u love him nothing shud get in the way. except for like god. but is ur dad god? if he is tell me cuz then there goes the bible. lol ;)

i don't think you should Secretly date him thats the kids way around . You’re nearly an adult you have to deal with this right and don’t lose you’re dads respect at the same time. I know some one whose 30 she is pregnant with her ex-husbands baby and she is afraid to tell her dad cos he might disprove, do you want to be like that? Didn’t think so but just tell your dad how you really feel you have to start making your own decisions

Oh I’m sorry but not all of us have perfect lives. My dad was nearly killed twice my best friend has a brain tuma and the man who ment so much to me died on Christmas. The same thing doesn’t apply to all of us and my dad wont be around to tell me who to date

Sorry but I agree with the person above, guys can judge guys better than girls, if your dad told you not to date this guy ask yourself why? You said he allowed you to date another guy before so why would it be different now, it's obviously not to keep you to himself as you thought if he has allowed you to date before. There must be something about this guy that sets him off, ask him what it is and talk about it.

P.S: You've been dating this guy for a week? All guys seem good at first so unless you've known him as a friend previously there is a chance that he's really a jackass. I know this being a guy, it's easy to pretend to be someone else until someone falls for you, then you let your true colors show (I'm not saying all guys are like this, but I definately know a lot that are so I would be more concerned with this guy, especially if someone else is getting a bad feeling about him)

""parents aren't always right"

Jesus I hope your father slaps that stupid mouth of yours.

GIRLS: LISTEN TO YOUR FATHERS ABOUT THE GUYS YOU DATE!"

Don't call people stupid when you don't know the facts!!
My father tried to stop me seeing Marcus when we first started going out cos he didn't 'approve' of him
Should i have listened to you and listened to him! I think bloody not!!
We're engaged now and planning the rest of our lives together and he's helped me through things my father could never have understood.
To the girl who posted the first post, i say, if you love your boyfriend, tell your dad, it's your life and you'll see who you want, he has to let you grow up. If he's right and it's not meant to be, you have to find it out on your own. It's YOUR life.

And to the person who said, the slap around the mouth thing. Not everyone should listen to their dads as we should live our own lives and make mistakes ourselves. You have no idea how angry you made me about the slap around the mouth thing, maybe you should have that yourself before judging others. It's true. Parents aren't always right! Just like nobody is always right. Got it?

Thats what i'm saying, when that girl said your parents are always right, thats a load of bull!
My dad didn't even give Marcus a chance at first before deciding that he didn't like him simply cos he was a year older, i spent all my time with him and he didn't know him.
After a year my dad finally admitted he was wrong and that Marcus would look after me.
So there you have it..
Parents are NOT always right!
You go for it Princess, all he;s scared about is that his little girl is growing up. But it's something you need to do.
*Gem*

Yes, it's your life and though our parents want what's best for us they need to let us be so we can make our own mistakes so that we can learn from them. My mother wants me to go back out with my ex (who when we were going out cheated on me about 5 times with different girls) 'coz she believes he's 'changed' *scoff*. So parents aren't always right. Don't go behind your Dad's back as he will lose his trust in you but tell him you want to be with this guy and no matter what he says it's not going to change.
Good Luck!

Ok. I'm not on anyone's side at the moment, because everyone's situations are different. Not every father has the answers, but not every father is bad at his job. The answers that you get from posts are strictly opinions of other people, not what you are suppose to do. Don't base your life around what other people say, this is your life, your decision, and your choice; Sure, it could turn out to be your mistake, but that's the only way anyone really learns.

I'm not saying don't heed your father's advice, and I'm not saying ignore it.
I'm saying, if this means that much to you, all you have to do is talk to the people you need to, and make sure they listen. Don't be mad at them secretly, don't ask strangers for instructions. Figure it out. Only you have all the facts, and only you can make whatever you want, happen.
So I guess all I'm really saying is, so far, Britt's got the best answer for you: Talk to your father and see what he doesn't like. Talk to your boyfriend and see what he feels about the situation. (For all you know, it wasn't as bad as you think, he might understand that dad's can be over protective and not be worrying about it half as much as you are. On the other hand, he might over react and show his true colours - and you might find out that your dad was right.)

I'm in a long distance relationship, and I've said this many times before about me and my boyfriend: ''All we ever have is communication"... So communicate!'... I've realized after a while, that all anyone really has is communication. No matter how close or far away, or how little words you're speaking - you're still communicating. The only way to get things done is to take charge and sort it out. And because we aren't advanced enough to read minds, we must (you guessed it) Talk!!!

Anywho...Best wishes to you, good luck.

ha ha i was the 1st 2 post on here and then evry1 else did!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I think it's a little scary that you're already saying your boyfriend is perfect (you have only been dating a week right). I'm seriously not trying to get you down, but I wouldn't be calling him perfect yet, it's just too soon.

I hope things work out for you, you seem to really love him and yeah it may be a week, but i knew i loved Marcus before we even offically went out and now we're engaged so yeah, i really hope you get it sorted out.

(And on a side note "That stupid mouth of yours" of course you're calling her stupid, her mouth is a part of her O_O but whatever you say, im not getting involved in an argument with you, some of us have more important things to worry about at the moment so peace)

"Cute how you say something but you have more important things to worry about. Haha."

Bloody grow up! I said i wasn't arguing cos some of us have to worry about a dying relative you insensitive little brat. It doesn't mean i can't give someone else a little advice. All i said to you was, i didn't want to argue with you and i tried to make peace. If you don't want to knopw, don't bother replying. Grow up ok

Sorry for stressing but i'm really stressed out at the moment, my emotions are on a string. But i was annoyed cos i tried to make peace and you just started again.

On topic, Princess, i'm going to say to you what i was told a long time ago.
You are your on person and you need to make your own mistakes. Or else you can't grow from them. And people (parents included) need to accept that. And this was advice from my stepmom.

Forget about it. I was stressed and had a go. Sorry about it. People annoy me more at the moment, lol.

And Princess? Did you talk to your dad? Your boyfriend? We're dying here! lol

Good luck hun, i really hope he see's your side and is mature enough to let you live your own life. I know he's only looking out for his little girl but he needs to let you go a little bit
*Gem*

Just have faith and remember, if it's meant to be, it WILL be. No doubt about it. x

Maybe you dad is afraid to lose you. i know my dad would be.

Hehe, me and Marcus have a fight at least every couple of days but we love each other to death and always make up after the other cools down (mostly me, lol) Fighting gets all the negative feelings out so you don't bottle it up and explode causing a breakup.

Plus making up is so much fun =P

Obviously you need to talk to your dad if he hasn't even taken the time to get to know the guy. Everyone is in here saying that he doesn't like him for a reason, but is that really true? If he hasn't even taken the time to get to know the guy, how does he have a reason at all?

.Kayla.

"Chris and I were together about two months before our first fight...and now we fight all the time. But it's a healthy way of fighting. I don't even like to call it fighting, it's more like a heated argument."

Marcus likes to call them heated arguments too. I just call them barneys =)

i understand you honey,not any of my parent understands my love to my bf except my mom and they really did worry me,but i procedeed and i lied to my dad that we broke up(my mom and dad divorced that's why i did it so easily),at first you should think twice about what to do,if u love that guy and sure he loves youimy opinion to you is go for it,but if you're not sure it doesn't worth to risk to be so careful and be panic
-Good Luck To You Honey

To be honest, it sounds like your dad is trying to shock you into becoming a 'good' daughter (whatever they mean by that)
Obviously he doesn't have a problem with your friend for reasons you mentioned. And if he's harping on about your boyfriend again, it may be because he had a bad day at work or something and he's looking for someone to take it on.
It may also be because the old insecurities of losing his little girl and watching her grow up are taking over again.
Then again, i could be talking crap =)
Good luck with everyone sweets. Just take each day as it comes and don't argue with your dad about it. Just smile and say "Yes dad". He'll soon change his tune when he see's it's not getting to you
=)
