just like dad


Question Posted Wednesday December 28 2005, 2:15 am

My father died about 3 years ago and now I am going out with this boy that is a lot like him...is that a bad thing? I mean I love him but he is just...a lot like my dad! Am I being stupid going out with him or is it like a bad ideas or something? I have these feelings like he is going to leave me, but I thought that maybe that is just because my dad "left" me...I don't know...I'm confusing...I know! But I would really like any help I can get!thanks!

just because he reminds you of your dad it doesnt mean that you shouldnt go out with him . if you think that your dad was a good role model for others to follow, then theres no reason why you should feel guilty about it . its natural to keep remembering your dad, but its okay because he never left you on purpose .

xoo hope this helps !! ♥

I know yu probably loved your dad, but if he really loved you he would want you to be happy, if the boy you are dating makes you happy then know that your dad is happy to!

Maybe it would be different if your dad left your family but he didn't. He died its not like he packed up and left. You shouldn't worry about that.

Believe it or not some girls are like best friends with their fathers and are easily attracted to guys like theyre father beacause they feel most comfortable with the qualities that are already known.

That's not a bad thing at all. That's good that he reminds you of your dad. He is not going to leave you if he loves you. Just stay with him if he makes you happy!

its good that you are going out with someone. my mom (was) a counselor, and she WOULD say it is because you need a male figure in your life. so dont worry, it is normal and good

No! No! Not at all. Your dad didn't "leave" you on purpose. He died and I'm sure it was unintentional. I'm sure he loved you very very much.


Actually, an old saying is that you are most attracted to men who are like your dad.


My boyfriend is similiar to my dad, but not a lot. They exibit some of the same humor qualities and both can be talkitive or silent.


Stay with him. If you have feelings for him, don't leave him. Love him. Cherish him. You're probably partially attracted to this young man because he is so much like your dad, and you loved your dad. It's normal. Don't worry.


Keep him! He's probably quite a catch!

Hey! Well maybe this is one of God's plan. Maybe he wants you to love someone you lost...but your Dad is still in your heart no matter what. So let this guy just be another part...if it's true love...it doesn't matter if he is just like dad...really that is a good thing..to help you remember someone you loved. God has his AWESOME ways! :-) Hope i helped!!

Imperialistic answered Wednesday December 28 2005, 2:50 am:
No, it's not dumb. It's normal. Women are generally attracted to men who are like their father while men look for women who are like their mother. It isn't wrong in anyway. It's genetic.

mn731 answered Wednesday December 28 2005, 2:18 am:
Yeah..it's totally fine if you want a guy who has traits like your dad. You probably want somebody to protect you and make you feel loved...just like your dad used to. And NO..you are not stupid just because you want to go out with him.

If you need any more advice, feel free to drop one in my inbox.

Of course it isn't weird, that's usually normal. Most people are like that, so you're not singled out. It's not BAD though, I think in a way it'd be nice to have a little company from someone who reminds you of your dad.
