How do I get my dad to trust me?

My dad wont let me go anywhere with my boyfriend, we have to stay in the living room infront of him and we cant go up to my room or anything like that. I mean I am his last daughter and all but I think hes being over protective, because when my little brother has a girlfriend over he says “Go to your room, just dont so anything stupid” but I dont even get that. I am watched over 24/7 and it is getting anyoing. I told him it is and he said “Why do you want me to let you go, what do you want to do?” So I just need him to trust me because at the moment if I sit withen 3 feet of my boyfriend my dad flips out and tells me to back off. All I need is his trust, I mean I am trustworthy

Answer #1

^^I have 7 older brothers & a protecive dad, I would NOT tell him you’re having sex. I mean if your a young teenager, that;s the last thing they want to here. but I have tried everything. nothing works. I am older then you too. just gotta wait till you are older.

Answer #2

Ok, well I know this is going to sound sexist and all, but your brother cant get pregnant. I know that isnt fair and whatever, but it’s true… As for the rest of it, I dont know… could you talk to your mum?

Answer #3

1: it is probably not YOU that your dad doesn’t trust 2: It’s not a matter of trust, it’s a matter of respect. When your dad says you have to stay in the living room and you argue with him, it’s very disrespectful. 3: You are his princess and every guy out there (in his eyes) in completly unworthy of you and he doesn’t want you to do anything with someone so beneath you. (dad’s are like that with daughters)

Answer #4

Simply a Rose to brighten your day,

    And maybe lessen the cares in your way;
    And also, too, to help you to know,
    That in knowing you, many others grow!

  Ty stole my sexist line. :( It isn’t a matter of him not trusting you as much as it is him knowing how hormones can start acting up and causing irrational behavior when a young girl and young boy are left alone unchaperoned.

He really does love you and trust you. He just doesn’t trust mother nature. :)

Answer #5

Your dad doesn’t trust you with your boyfriend, because he was once your boyfriend’s age. There’s no way around your dad’s personal experience.

Your only hope for freedom is to tell him you’ve already had sex with lots of boys, but that you always use a condom. (it doesn’t have to be true)

If you try to convince your dad you’ll be good, he won’t believe you, because he knows better.

Answer #6
