Hi I'm Dee. I'm 23 and married. I've worked in health care as well as office settings but am now a home-maker. I'm knowledgeable in a variety of subjects but don't mind doing a little research if asked about something I don't know about. Most of my friends come to me for advice. I read several advice columns and would like to help you also. I'm not judgemental. Your life is yours to live it as you choose. I believe asking for advice is good, but ultimately the choice is yours. You WILL NOT find a hurtful or smartass answer here.
If you have a question that you would like to keep private, you can email me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

okay, so, my dad is totally changing his views on everything now, and I don't really know how to talk to him like I used to. I mean, I could tell him anything, and now its just kinda weird. He won't let me read Seventeen until he cuts some "articles he doesn't want me to see" out. He says that I am not allowed to date (whereas in 4th grade I had a boyfriend and him and my stepmom would always be like "did you call him yet" and stuff). Him and my stepmom used to ask me how to have kids on the sims, i am not even allowed to make my sims kiss now (which I do anyways, but still). They used to be so cool and all, but now they are so overprotective. I don't go to school (homeschooled) so I don't have those kind of problems. They think that I will fall into all these stupid fads and trends and sex and drugs (yes, i love fashion, and music, and yes i do try to impress people and stuff, but only to a reasonable extent). I like this boy, who i like, just met about six months ago, but I have only seen him a couple of times. I know that he likes me, but when we get to know eachother more, and if he asks me out or something, what do i say, i mean "i have to ask my dad" or "i'll think about it" will sound like i am a baby or he might think that i don't like him and he might just look for someone else. I don't think i could do something like have a boyfriend behind my dad's back, and how can i have a boyfriend in front of his back? How do I tell my dad I like this guy and he likes me? (by the way, don't say "well, this guy hasn't even asked you out yet, and he might not ever." i am asking in advance so that when anyone does, what the hell do I say to my dad and future boyfriend?) thanx i rate :) (srry this was long, don't even answer if you're going to give some retarded answer like "hmmm...idk umm.. DON'T HAVE A BOYFRIEND!") thanx again
Did something happen to change the way he thinks? In my experience, people generally don't change that drastically unless something has happened. If you know what happened to bring on the change, you might be able to discuss it with them.
As far as the boy, you might try asking your dad and stepmother if you can invite him over for dinner one night. Because they'll be there, they might be more inclined to allow it. It will also give them a chance to get to know him, which might make them feel comfortable enough for you to go on a date.
(Rating: 4) that's a good idea, i guess inviting his parents too would be good? (i just like really don't know :)
