Lonely_girl answered Friday November 6 2009, 6:52 pm: I had the exact same problem. I told my mom about this guy, and she instantly turned around and told my dad. My dad was dissapointed not that i was dating anyone, but that i wasn't the first to tell him. He hates hearing stuff about my life from my mother. He wanted me to tell him stuff about my life. i dont know your age, but 11 months sounds serious enough to tell your father. Besides maybe your relationship with your dad will strengthen if you show you want to share a part of your life with him. That way, when it comes time to go on a date with said boy, your dad will know about this boy and it won't sound like its some random guy you just met, and hes more likely to allow you to go. Hurry up before your mom blabs! lol
XXXOOO

Advicelady6798 answered Friday November 6 2009, 10:25 am: The question is do you think your father would want to hear it from you or someone else? Prolonging these things will make the relationship more awkward. Your father is probably more oblivious to boys than your mother and he probably wouldn't like the idea of you dating. But, he would also want to try and have an open relationsip by telling him what is going on in your life. These tend to get out, even secrets, and how do you think he would feel if he heard from some stranger that his daughter was dating some boy. It would be better if it came from you even if he doesn't give the best reaction. That reaction will be 100% better than the reaction of him finding out from a stranger.

Shortii2020 answered Friday November 6 2009, 8:26 am: I think you should tell him now, so you could get it off your chest, and you dont have to worry about it while you are dating. And when you tell him, you will have a closer relationship with your dad, becuase you opened up to him.
Hope I helped alittle. Good Luck. [ Shortii2020's advice column | Ask Shortii2020 A Question ]
