Ask_Anything answered Tuesday October 19 2004, 3:29 pm: a lot of dads have trouble excepting their little girl is growing up. he's going to have to get used to it soon, but if you can- just wait one more year. your dad also seems to want to make sure you dont get pushed around by boys, and used. he wants to make sure you can stand up for yourself, and can take care of yourself. im hoping he was kidding about kicking and punching, but he might of meant to not get hurt. and if you do end up finding someone- dont tell him right away, try telling your mom and have her break it to him easy. he'll get used to it sooner or later, because no one deserves to be deprived of love/crushes. it's really sweet your dad is so protective of you, but he'll also be just as happy to see you happy when you find someone you truly feel happy with =] -ask_anything [ Ask_Anything's advice column | Ask Ask_Anything A Question ]
