It actually shows you have alot of confidence and a guy really likes it sometimes whenever a girl has alot of confidence and makes the first move for once.
I think that's just your dad's view on things because he DID grow up in a different time and things were different back then. Back then, a girl probably WOULD never ask out the guy first, she'd wait to be asked, and also, your his daughter. I'm sure he doesn't even want you dating guys, really. So he might think by telling you that, if the guy's too shy to ask you out, and you're going to wait, it'll be awhile before you get a boyfriend which is good news for him.
I suggest just telling the guy that you really like him, and was wondering if he'd want to go out with you sometime. So that way, you two aren't instantly dating, and you guys can still hang out together and know of your feelings for one another, and hopefully soon you two can become a couple, no matter who asks who.

If this guy likes you and hasn't already asked you out, maybe he is too shy or is planning to. But if you don't want to wait around for him to ask you, then I think you should ask him out. How is a girl asking a boy out any different from a boy asking a girl out? Even though boys are usually the ones asking the girls out,in this case I think it's ok.
