okay, here i go;
My dad. wow. a very protective guy. The other day one of my verry close guy friend called and we talked for hours. and ever since we've been talking on a daily basis. Were just friends, no more and never will be. I can only see him as a brother. But my dad doesnt 'approve' talking to guys. I mean, well that kind of sounds qweer. its hard to explain. i dont have a strict family at all, but when it comes down to this. WOW. My dad doesnt 'like' me talking to guys. he says ' at this age guys are very dangerous' . blah blah. Yes i know. And im an actually good girl. I rarely do 'bad' stuff . I know whats wrong from right. IM SMART. its just, my dad , ugh. How can i get him to stop and let me talk to my friends?!? its bugging me , and most of all, EMBARASSING ME.
Volleyball2150 answered Friday August 24 2007, 2:33 pm: yeah... that's kind of like my mom and dad. They're super protective. But just tell him that he's a friend and nothing more. Tell him that he is like a brother. tell him that girls can have friends that are boys and boys can have friends that are girls, and still not flirt with them.
Tell him that it's unfair that you have to be only friends with girls... tell him that you want to have a best friend that is a guy. Tell him that you don't like him in that way, that he is only a person to hang out with and not mess around with.
You can try to invite him over to your house when your dad is home, and show your dad that he's like a brother. For example- you play football with him and laugh and have fun, there's no way your dad can think that is bad... or you 2 play video games, or on the computer together.. ya know??
if you 2 watch a movie, he'll get suspisious and think you 2 will cuddle together and stuff... but if you do things like play football, soccer, computer, etc... then there is nothing suspisious about that.
Just act like he is a brother around your dad (fight with him over the remote, fight about what to eat for lunch etc.)
Main point= show your dad that he is just like a brother.
tropicalbabe33 answered Friday August 24 2007, 11:46 am: It might not go down too well at first, but maybe you should ask your dad if you can have a few friends round. Yes, including boys. Tell him you know how he feels about you talking to boys, but that you can honestly say that your boy mates are not dangerous in any way and are good friends. And you'd like him to know what they're really like. Hopefully he'll eventually let you and he can meet your friends and see that they are absolutlely harmless.
