What do I do about my dad?

Ok I like a guy and hes 19 years old and I am 14. we are just friends but I have always liked him more than that…me and him get a long great! We always have together and I think hes beginning to start liking me a little more…which my mom is ok with that but we just cant date because its illegal…but I told my dad about him and my dad freaked and he is soo protective of me…but whenever me and my friend hang out my mom is always supervising it…so I dont get what he has to be worried about? It makes no sense…is there any way I can reassure my dad that nothing will happen?

Answer #1

ok Im thinking that the age diffrents between you and this guy is what is conserning your dad the most, however fathers tend to be more protective over their daughters then their sons, you need to sit down and talk to your dad one on one…its not you that he is not trusting, its the guy that you like…after all your dad,believe it or not was once 19, and he knows was boys of that age are like…he is relating back to himself at that age…his life, and his mistakes…he doesnt want you to get hurt…you are his baby…and as you grow you will find out that the only guy a girl can truly trust through out her life is her daddy..so try to mantain a good relationship with him…talk to him…because he will be there for you through out your life…you do this and he will come around…the more open and honest you are with your parents the more freedom you will have…I was the only girl out of 7 boys and my dad was more protective that any of my friends dads, my life was hell, and I made some realy bad mistakes because I couldnt talk to him, without getting yelled at or put down. and boys were just out of the question…so all I ask is try talking to your dad, find out were he is comming from, why he doesnt seem to like this guy…his answer might surprise you.

Answer #2

your dad is just being dad! your his little girl and he doesn’t want you to get hurt. older guys tend to lead a life of partying at age 19. maybe he doesn’t want you involved with that. you should really sit down with the boy/friend and dad. let dad see what you and mom see.

Answer #3

I think it’s more of what to do with your feelings…You’re 14 HE’s 19!!! That’s a little bit of a age jump, at least at your age. Look for someone closer to your age. Maybe your dad would be ok with that.

Answer #4

show your dad he is a nice guy and if he still doesent like him secretly date him and dont tell any one at all
